inFAMOUS

A massive explosion rips through six square blocks of Empire City, leveling everything and everyone in its path. At the center of the blast crater a lone man has survived the event and has been changed forever. From the creators of the award-winning Sly Cooper series, Sucker Punch brings you inFamous, the first open-world action-adventure title exclusively for the PLAYSTATION®3 system. Players will experience what happens when a real person suddenly starts developing super powers. Will they exact revenge, protect the innocent or do little of both? These are the situations gamers will face when immersed inside a richly interactive and organic living city. A place where actions create broader reactions in the citizens and landscape around them. inFamous lets players unravel an evolving mystery, experience fame and/or infamy and battle powerful, iconic villains...all the while feeling what it is like to become a modern day superhero.

This game is perfect for: casual gamers
The open-world genre has seen many fantastic titles, but none have quite the power and playability of Sucker Punch’s Infamous. It has great gameplay, excellent storytelling, and satisfying combat.
If you’re into PS3 exclusives, chances are you’ll know something about Infamous. If not, let me enlighten you: Infamous is a third-person open-world game by Sucker Punch. You play as Cole, a regular messenger who’s been gifted with electrical superpowers.
The storyline in Infamous is one of its main assets. It all begins with Cole, a citizen of Empire City, who is delivered a mysterious package. Once he opens that package, a huge explosion destroys a massive portion of Empire City, setting off a cataclysmic chain of events.
When Cole wakes up, he’s in the middle of a massive crater. How he’s alive, he doesn’t know, but he’s out to find answers. He later learns that Empire City has gone to Hades, and violent gangs have taken advantage of the destruction to seize control of Empire City’s three districts: the Neon District, the Historic District, and The Warren. More importantly (to us, at least), Cole has gained electrical superpowers that escalate his abilities beyond that of a normal human. He can now survive any fall, blast baddies (or citizens) with electricity, and do parkour like it’s nobody’s business.
The storyline takes off from there, introducing us to some very deep characters and giving us a reason to care about them. As you continue playing Infamous, it is impossible not to become emotionally attached to the story at some point. For me, it was when I had to make a very hard decision (I won’t spoil it for you, but those who’ve completed Infamous know what I mean). Another reason to become attached to the game is Cole himself. He doesn’t have many friends to start with, but as the story progresses, he loses almost all of his friends, and becomes increasingly lonely in his hunt for Kessler. This loneliness deepens after the very hard decision you have to make in the Historic District (again, I WON’T spoil anything, but trust me, you want to play this game to find out), and you find yourself empathizing with Cole on a regular basis. His story becomes more and more tragic later in the game, and you’re always there to see Cole’s tortured soul endure hardship after hardship. It is truly a humbling experience, and an inspiring one, due to the fact that Cole stays emotionally and physically strong throughout this ordeal. The story takes many twists and turns, and plot twists happen on a regular basis, but they’re not so abrupt that you feel like the story’s going to change every 5 minutes. The end will be guaranteed to blow your mind, however. ;)
The most important and interesting character in this story is Cole himself. How does he react to the destruction of the city? What does he think he should do? These are all questions that you yourself must answer. You are in charge of Cole, and you must shape his character, reputation, and ultimately, destiny. How you act and what you do matters in this game, and the repercussions of your actions will matter in the long run. Will you be a man of the people and prove yourself as Empire City’s guardian? Or will you live only to destroy, satisfying your own selfish desires? This is entirely up to you.
Now, let’s get down to the actual gameplay. Cole’s movement and aiming controls work smoothly. These controls really come to life during parkour and climbing sequences, and trust me; there will be a lot of them.
See, Cole was a bit of an urban ninja before the blast, and he’s got some pretty mad parkour skills. These are escalated and elevated after his strange rise to the status of superhero. Like I said, Cole can now survive any fall (and I mean ANY fall), climb up the side of buildings with ease, tightrope-walk across electrical wires, and generally traverse the city with ease. Cole’s climbing and parkour controls work very well, and he’s able to grab on to most every surface where’s there’s a handhold. Cole can climb straight up pipes, ladders, telephone poles, and much more. This makes climbing both fun and practical, and trust me, it’ll get even better as you get more into the game.
There’s a lot to talk about in terms of gameplay, but Cole’s powers cannot be missed. Cole’s basic abilities are a simple shocker bolt, a shockwave-type blast of electricity, and the ability to drain electricity from anything powered by it. Cole’s powers remain basic as you get used to the shooting and basic combat controls, but it’s when you unlock more powers that things get really interesting. Cole’s full arsenal includes shock grenades, precision/sniper bolts, lightning storm, electrical rockets, the ability to fly, the Gigiwatt Blades, a polarity shield, and a few karma-specific powers. His touch-based abilities include the ability to heal a citizen, restrain a person, or leech the electricity out of anyone. These powers give you new and increasingly satisfying ways to dispatch your enemies. The enemies get increasingly harder to exterminate, and you’ll need to use every tactic in your arsenal in order to win.
Empire City itself is a city that’s been brought to its knees. You constantly hear the cries from people in the street; how they were only supposed to be here one day, or about how they can’t find their parents. The people of Empire City don’t play a huge role in the story, but they do affect your reputation. How you treat them and the city in general reflects onto your reputation. A meter in the upper left-hand corner models your reputation, ranging from the saintly Guardian and Hero to the despicably evil Outlaw and Infamous.
Who you choose to be affects how the people of Empire City treat you. If you set yourself up as their savior, they’ll treat you like a hero, applauding you after a skirmish with gangsters, taking pictures of you as you fly between missions, and generally treating you as their personal god. If you care not for the lives of Empire City’s citizens, terrorizing them and living for your own selfish desires, they’ll despise you, their contempt growing as your reputation does. They will flee from your presence or throw rocks at you, depending on the situation.
Picking a side of the karma meter has its advantages and disadvantages. For instance, a hero can count on the citizens of Empire City to assist him when they can. They’ll throw rocks at your enemies, kick them while they’re down, and generally assist with the one-man war effort. However, ignoring the people of Empire City to fulfill a quest or get some extra xp will result in a drop in your reputation. Thus, you have a responsibility to Empire City, and it is truly a double-edged sword. If you’re Infamous, however, the people will not help you. They’ll either cower in alleys, run from you, or throw rocks at you. You may not have the public support of the people, but you care only about yourself, not the people of Empire city.
Your karma meter can be affected by both small and large-scale actions. For example, bio leeching citizens and enemies will bring your reputation down slightly, and healing citizens will bring it up slightly. These small actions still affect your karma meter, but not as much as the bigger actions. The story missions and the side missions present you with many different opportunities to choose your karmaic path, usually in a decision to do good or evil. Your choices are usually pretty clear, and the game doesn’t make it hard to decide in most cases.
The graphical department is where Infamous sinks to average. The visuals are by no means ugly; the graphical detail in the characters is top notch, and the environments are well-designed. This is an open-word game, however, and it’s when you look at the details that Infamous falls a bit short in the graphics department. Empire City itself has some visual rough edges that seem almost painted on, although this is hard to notice when you take in the city as a whole. Up-close, though, you sort of wish that the devs had taken more time to remodel the rough edges of a city. Again, however, this is an open-word game, and the massive expanse of the city more than makes up for the graphical rough edges.
One other thing to note about the graphics is the cutscenes. These are presented in a comic-book style, and tremendously add to the elements of the game’s story: the despair of Empire City’s people, Cole’s loneliness, and the nature of the characters themselves. These graphic-novel cutscenes are a great addition to Infamous. One small gripe I have, though, is that the cutscenes are so story-driven and deep that they seem a bit detached from the sometimes comical dialogue. This is a very small gripe, however, keep in mind.
The final verdict? Infamous is one of the best reasons to own a PS3. It’s a fun, expansive, and story-driven affair, and any PS3 owner can be proud to say that they own the best open-world superhero game of all time. Infamous gets a final score of 9.7/10. Thanks for reading my review; I hope it was helpful!

I must say, InFamous series is by far my favorite series of all time. Now the cool thing about this is, You can play as good, or evil, all your desision. I personally think evil is more fun because you can destroy anyone or anything you see and become more evil, if you are good, it is hard because if you were to do that, your karma becomes more evil, but it is phenominal, i highly recommend it, and i'm just excited for InFamous: Second Son for the Playstation 4.

This game is easily one of the best Superhero games and best PS exclusives of all time, the graphics are amazing, the detail, and appearance of the lightning, the gritty, dark, and awesome open world city. The combat is awesome, it blends third-person shooter elements in with the action/adventure, with plenty of varied attacks. You can explore anywhere in the massive Empire City at any time, as long as you're not in a mission that kills you for going too far away. And the story is freaking brilliant, complex and genius, you play as Cole MacGrath, who dropped out of college to become a bike courier, he got a mysterious package that was actually a kind of bomb, which activated a special gene in some people, the Conduit Gene. Afterwards Empire City was put into quarantine, and Cole kind of starts cleaning up, taking out evil Conduits and the Reapers. So the story is very good, there's more to it than that, but if I gave away too much more it would give away spoilers. My only two very very minor complaints about the game are that the melee combat is basically useless, you can rarely get close enough to hit anyone, and it would be kind of nice if you could fire lightning bolts without being in aim mode, since R1 does nothing unless holding L1. But this is a truly amazing game, one of the greatest of all time, if you own a PS3, go get this game, or wait for the inFAMOUS Collection in a few days. Honestly, I think this one is better than the sequel, inFAMOUS 2, it's more gritty/dark, and just plays better.

I love Superhero games...they are just so awesome, this one is the best out of them. This isn't going to be all praise I will mention my major issue with the game, but if you're skimming just know you should get this NOW!
My complaint is the karma trees. It is way easier and far more rewarding gameplay wise to play as the bad guy. The side abilities are way more useful and the fact that it is easier to get bad, just doesn't seem fair to those who like the good campaign story more.
Overall the strengths far outway my one complaint. The story is addicting, gameplay is sweet. And by the end you will be a powerful kick butt dude who is extremely powerful and making you feeling like a god.
I can't wait to get Infamous 2 which promises to be greater than this...

I got this from the PS3 free selection after their hacking problem. Seemed kin of dark and depressing at first but as the game moved along I enjoyed it more and more! My friend got the second game and loved it. I only with you could go back to different levels. Once you are done, you can only explore or start over.

How can you not love this game? It has everything a gamer could love from great graphics, to good voice acting, to a creative story line that sucks you into the story and at some points allows you to choose your path, to awesome powers! You're in an opened world with the choice of being a super hero or super villain to do whatever your mind pleases. I loved the story and twists every now and then, though I mainly loved that at some points it would ask me what cole should do. For example, should Cole save this civilian or should he leave him so the angry mob can attack him and kill him. Choices like that make this game a biiiig deal. The amazing super powers are also a nice touch. Who wouldn't love launching cars around? I really like the fighting controls I though they were pretty flawless. If you're like me and obsess over collectibles such as trophies, then you'll also love this game. You have to play it twice in order to collect them all using good Cole and evil Cole. All in all, this game is outstanding and there's a lot to do. You should definitely buy it and you should buy the sequel!

I got this game when i bought my PS3 and since then, this has remained my favorite game. You could not ask for more from a game. Excellent graphics. Lots of gameplay time. Extensive storyline but not to hard to understand. A huge amount of freedom to explore the game. And what could be better than having the power to shoot lighting bolts from your hand? Also the character you play as, Cole McGrath, just has that Batman like persona. Except Cole sometimes kills people. Going on that, you can choose to be good or evil. Which is also called your karma level. Your karma level effects how the citizens in the game act to you, such as helping you in a fight or throw rocks at you. Your karma also affecsts what upgrades are available to you.

Infamous starts off with a bang. The main character, Cole, wakes up after an accident and discovers he was granted electricity-based super powers. That's one of the game's key points: a great story. The plot is actually quite original and Cole's tale is full of awesome moments and epic battles grounded in a living, breathing city. You see, Karma plays a huge role over the course of the seven or so hour campaign. The player gets to mold Cole to be the kind of person they want him to be. Most of the major decisions Cole makes are decided by the player and the city will react accordingly. Be a hero and pedestrians will surround Cole in the streets, offering him praise and thanking him for his righteousness; play as the bad guy and those same people will avoid Cole as he walks by, casting him mean glances, shouting insults, and throwing trash at him all the while. Sucker Punch's game even echoes its previous franchise Sly Cooper in the gameplay department, with similar platforming and a unique art direction. Empire City feels so believable largely in part because of the gritty, comic book-inspired atmosphere. It works well, and only serves to further enhance the experience. Wielding Cole's powers feels both exciting and rewarding, as they are complemented with a nice upgrade system additional powers to unlock after playing surprisingly fun sewer missions to restore power to individual parts of the city. Characters and voice acting are also well done. Cole's voice actor sounds so stereotypically gruff that it'll make the player laugh and Zeke is unbelievably cheesy to the point that his character actually works. After the story concludes, the player can search for blast shards, audio recordings, and other collectibles scattered all over the city. However, Infamous does bring along a few shortcomings. The engine looks outdated with stiff animations, poor draw distance, and loads of pop-in. Framerate drops and minor screen tearing are also not unusual. In addition, some of the decisions the player makes as Cole result in essentially the same outcome regardless of whether or not he made the "good" or "bad" choice and some pre-made decisions seem to lean one way while the player may have wanted to have the option to choose the other. The boss fights aren't exactly standout either but are serviceable and side missions are very repetitive. In short, Infamous makes for a short but fun open world adventure of venegnce and deception. A solid plot and wacky characters pump some flavor into the twisted playground that is Empire City. FINAL SCORE: 95/100.

This was my first PS3 game, and I was astounded with everything (especially replay value). The graphics are nothing spectacular (PS2ish), but thats not what sandbox games are about. Controls are easy to learn, gameplay was great. inFamous wasn't incredibly hard, but the bosses were relatively challenging. What I mainly love about this game: THE CHOICES YOU MAKE COMPLETELY CHANGE HOW YOU ARE PERCEIVED, AND HOW THE STORY DEVELOPS AND ENDS (sorry for the caps). Lots of replay value (two plays at the least). It's not one of those scripted games, and you can chose to do side or main missions whenever. The stunts/combos you perform and powers you unlock are very cool. It is polished with a very intriguing story. An excellent PS3 exclusive game that any PS3 owner should have!

This game was one of my first games for the ps3, and here is the reason why.
Pros- Riveting story and unexpected twist ( oh, please tell me if you actually saw it coming), Near inspiring game-play style, great graphical cut-scenes, Tons of variety, solid moral system
Cons- Bland/stiff in-game graphics, slow pace in game play
Lasting appeal: High

InFamous, you can do so much! From running atop buildings do doing amazing feats that a "normal" person could do! InFamous starts about two weeks into a quarantine as Cole Macgrath, a delivery boy who one day gets a mysterious package to deliver. As the story grows, so does Cole, he learns fantastic new powers, from grenades to a shield, it's all there! This games graphics were amazing, once I was playing and my buddie asked what movie was I watching! InFamous is just another one of the reasons PS3 is an amazing system!

Some say this game is like Prototype and it is in many ways. The one thing diffrent about infamous is even if you do bad choices YOU ARE A GOOD GUY. Buy this and not PROTOTYPE.
