Introduction
InFAMOUS 2 is an open world action game that was made exclusivly for the Playstation 3.
Getting Started
This game basically begins where InFamous left off. Cole, Zeke, and NSA Agent Lucy Kuo escape to New Marais in order to find Dr. Sebastian Wolfe, the man who developed the Ray Sphere which gave Cole his powers in the first place, in hope that he can help Cole become strong enough to fight "the Beast" that Kessler told him about.
When they arrive, they discover that Joseph Bertrand III is in power with his anti-conduit militia. Bertrand, aware of Cole's arrival and abilities, wages a propaganda campaign against Cole by claiming that he is a demon.
The beginning of the game is very captivating, and the rest of the story really holds your interest.
Story Rating: 5/5
Game Play
You start out with the same electric powers you had from the first game, and you gain more in this sequel. You also have a new weapon, the Amp, which Cole uses for close quarter combat. While exploring New Marais, you will have to fight the militia and the swamp monsters that inhabit the Island. While fighting in close quarters, it's sometimes difficult to control the camera to see the enemy you're trying to attack.
You still have the ability to choose between being a Hero, or being infamous. Every decision you make will have either a good or bad consequence.
Gameplay Rating: 4/5
Graphics
This game still features the classic comic book cut-scenes that were in the first one. The graphics have been improved from the first game, but they aren't what make this game.
Graphics Rating: 3/5
Re-Play Value
The game is changes based on the decisions you make throughout. If you choose to be evil, you'll get new missions, and different powers than you would if you were playing the Hero story. There are also two different endings.
Re-play value rating: 4/5
Overall Rating
I would give this game a 4/5.
(I'd just like to say that this is my first ever review that I've written (at least this formally), so if you have any suggestions on what I could do to make my reviews better please share them.)
