GAME: inFAMOUS

inFAMOUS is a PS3 exclusive about Cole MacGrath, a bike courier who delivers an a bomb, nearly wiping out Empire City. Cole survives the explosion, and gets electric powers.


The Characters. All of them are likable. The comic-relief character "Zeke" to the crazy "Kessler". But the thing is, they're all likable. I cared about the characters that died, and I enjoyed whenever some characters were in the game. Every character was great.

The Story. The story for the game was really great. I played the good karma, so I'm not exactly sure if the evil karma changes the game. But from playing as good, it was really great. I can't write a review without including that the ending for inFAMOUS was probably one of the best endings I've ever seen.

The Gameplay. The controls were great, making great fights against the Reapers/Dust Men/The First Sons to climbing up walls and then flying off them. The controlls make great boss fights (Though there could've been more of those). The graphics were great. The way Cole moves around is very realistic and fun. The karma decision is a little bad at times, but the majority of times it's good. For example, I restored power to a district and that made me "a little more evil". Also, I hear a lot of bad things about the cutscenes. What's wrong with them? I think they really add to the comic-book feel of the game.

The Music. If you watch the gameplay trailer and think "Wow, this song is great", you'll be surprised too find a lot of the music is like this. It's all just so dark and fits the mood for the game.

Overall: 9.5
Pros: Great characters, great replay value, cutscenes are terrific, story may have one of the best plot twists, music is dark and fits the mood, side missions are fun, running around the city is fun, great combat held together with a lot of cool powers
Cons: Some jumping glitches, online play would've been nice
