Oh Ps3... Nobody loves you like I do. Rather than give me sequel, after sequel, you give me new I.P. And not just average new I.P. You deliver the best of this generation. Heavenly Sword, Valkyria Chronicles, Uncharted, and now InFamous.
Let me just say firstly that InFamous doesn't do a whole lot new when it comes to open world games, it just does everything BETTER. From the first time you pick up the DualShock, you will find that our hero moves around so fluidly. He is fast, jumping from building to building feels fantastic. Sucker Punch nailed control and movement in their first outing since Sly 3.
The gameplay is a mix of platformer and third person shooter, with the latter more prevalent. You have upgrades that you can use to empower Cole, and even your decisions, good or bad, will give you different abilities.
The story is great if you take it for what it is, a comic book style narrative. I found myself often playing just to see what happens to Cole. With one of the better endings I have seen in a few years, there was no disappointment in finishing the tale.
So, without going on too much longer, I will leave you with this: In a sea of yearly sequels and reboots, its nice to see new games come out that are truly new and refreshing. If you pass this gem up, it is you who will become InFamous!!!

I'd agree with everything you said, with the exception of Heavenly Sword. Hardly best of this generation.
ReplyDeleteYeah but Heavenly Sword has some of the most amazing cut scenes I have ever seen in any generation.....so I'd have to agree (in part) with what he's talking about.
ReplyDeletea cut-scene does not a great game make.
