Good for a while.

inFamous itself is an awesome game. However, after you beat it one way or the other, it is boring as hell. Sure while you do get to play and have action going on, you feel powerful! YOu got the forces of lightning on your side.

Okay so some pros.
One: you play a badass. Cole is just an instant badass... just his voice alone make you go "I do NOT wanna mess with this guy!"
Two: you get awesome powers. Lightning... say no more.
Three: sandbox gameplay. Three cities, one guy, lots of drain points... oh yeah.
Four: Great story. I am not going to say anything other than that.
FIve: realism. Sure you play a turbo-charged badass but hey, he's still human. Instead of a infinite health bar, you have a COD-like screen fade. Notice: do not stand in front of a machine gun...

Con time.
One: after you beat the game it has little or no replay value because there are no friggin' enemies!
two: stupid AI. You: lightning GOD. That one guy who happens to have a gun: f***ed up on a psychodellic tar...
who's gonna win?
Three: can't download anything but the demo

Awesome Game!!!

I got this game and i thought it was going to be one of those games I would get bored of after 3 days. Well it wasn't like that. There are so many side missions you can do. There are 40 something regular missions too so this game will keep you occupied for at least 2 weeks. If you're a trophy hunter this game will keep you occupied for a month. This game has so many easy trophies. fd

Sucker Punch is made up of geniouses.

Wow, as I sit here writing this review I realize how hard it is to not give off any of the storyline. Well, I'll try not to.
inFAMOUS is more than a game, it is an experiance, one to be enjoyed over and over again. With it's multiple endings, open world, and endless posibilities it is easily a contendor for game of the year. The voice acting is superb, and the story is epic, so I will be brief and give the general plot. Cole, the game's protagonist is a delivery boy, and one day the pckage that he is carrying blows up and destroys everything around him, and gives him super powers over electricity. He then meets Moya an FBI agent that will, (hopefully) help him in his adventure.
My only complaints would be the lack of a multiplayer. This game has tons of potential for multiplayer with it's 3 factions and heroes. There could be a capture the flag with the Ray Sphere, deathmatch etc. It could also use DLC to play as other characters on challenge maps and such.
inFAMOUS was over all a great game that lived up to it's potential, and went above and beyond expectations. I would spent the 60 dollars again anyday on this game.

Infamous will live on in Infamy or Fame?

Let me start off by saying this game deserves way more than its been selling in the past couple of months. This game is great and fun and at least should have a good 600000-1000000 sales by now.

Why do you ask? Well because this game is one of the best games to come out in the year 2009. This game has a story that will keep you into it and keep you playing. I wouldn't say its so addictive but you will play it many times after the first time you beat it no doubt. Its an open-world game, an action/adventure with shooter and RPG aspects to it. So this game is pretty much for anyone.

The trophies are fun to get. Not too hard, not too easy. Just right! All I can say is if you have a PS3 and you need a game to play, whether its until the holiday season, just want another game or you got the money to spare. Get this game!

    A friend once told me that I should always sleep on major decisions because waiting until the morning supposedly helps you from doing anything rash. It's the middle of the night now and I just beat inFAMOUS, so I'm about to write my review of it before I go to bed. I should probably take my friend's advice and let the anger and resentment I feel towards the game simmer down a little before I write it up, but screw it: I'm on deadline.
