1UP: InFamous 2 Review

InFamous 2 is the game where Cole MacGrath finally conquers his greatest obstacle. I'm not talking about The Beast (a titan of ash and fire that literally stomps its way across the Eastern seaboard throughout the course of InFamous 2's plot), nor am I talking about the multitude of mercenaries, militia, and mutants that populate the streets of New Marais....

Every time I see B out of A in reviews I always think of sheep. Anyway, this is definitely a game I'm getting.

xX-StolenSoul-Xx5464d ago

lol so am i, i beat infamous thanks to the welcome back package. All i have to do is beat game on Infamous and i get Platinum :)

rabidpancakeburglar5464d ago

I beat it once on a good play through but it got stolen from my brothers flat. So I got to do another good and then an evil play through thanks to the welcome back package. Nothing better than getting a great game for free.

This isn't scoring quite as highly as the original but from what I've heard from people who've played it and seen in the demo it looks like a massive improvement.

Baba19065464d ago (Edited 5464d ago )

not quit true. infamous 2 has around the same score as the first one. so its ok, i think its much better than the first one.

ABizzel15463d ago

It's definitely a great game, and you guys should have it by now. At times I felt it getting a little slow, but that was because I was going around looking for tons of blast shards, and building my Karma up because you'll need as much lightning as you can EARLY IN THE GAME.

I think the Karma system is a little unfair, because it seems like it won't increase no matter how many missions you do until you get to a certain point in the games true story, and it'll zip up based on all the work you've done prior.

They changed the damage in the game and Cole does die quicker which is good and bad. Good, because it causes you to be strategic on where your electrical sources are before you dive in throwing lightning. Bad because if you dive in you're going to die, and even if you know where they are there's a good chance you might not make it if you aren't quick with climbing and rolling, while fighting at the same time.

Overall I'm really enjoying the game, and I like the new route they went with Cole's personality although he does seem to be a bit like Nathan Drake (when he jokes around with Zeke you'll see what I mean). It's definitely an improvement so far, and I've already logged in 10 - 15 hours, and I've made no progress in the actual story simply because I've been hanging around the city.

Speaking of the city it's much better this time around. The crowd A.I. is also better, since I was a Hero, I was fighting these guys and out of nowhere a pedestrian ran up and punched one of the men shooting at me, and soon an entire mob of people came and stomped him to death. That has been one of the biggest highlights of the game so far, even with all the boss battles, and new powers (which are great).

Im playing it for the first time today :D

Schism205464d ago

This game is a huge improvement over the first, and its so much better in every way. I dont understand how its lower on metacritic than its predecessor. Goes to show you how unreliable reviews can be.

ASTAROTH5464d ago

You are rigth. This game improves on everything. Better graphics, sound, missions, story, side missions... its a shame that today's reviewers... the "elite" of gaming cant review a game if its not a FPS, Xbox exlusive or multiplatform game. Call me fanboy or whatever but thats the truth as I see it.

cobblestone195463d ago

You know... The 360 only has 6 exclusives scored 90 or above.
Forza 2,3.
Gears 1,2.
Halo 3, Reach.

6 games, 3 franchises.
The Ps3 has 11.

I do think inFamous 2 deserves to have a 90+ score. But reviewers are fucking stupid sometimes...

I want it too. Make it co-op as well.

-Foxtrot1105d ago

Yeah they had a lightning bolt in the shape of a question mark at the end of Infamous 2

They always went off the good ending for Cole so I think for Delsin it should be the bad ending

What he did in the bad ending, absorbing everyone’s powers, seemed like he was going to turn into something powerful.

Makes you feel like he could have been the real Beast and John was just an anomaly because of them messing with time

Sets up a Cole vs Delsin showdown

lukasmain1105d ago

How would fans feel about a reboot? You know to bring a new audience in? Not a good idea? Good idea?

anast1104d ago

Not a god idea. They let it sit for too long and the game hasn't been strong enough to carry itself all these years. There is so much other stuff out there right now.

masterfox1105d ago

Second Son was released in 2014 was an amazing game visually and gameplay wise, sometimes I play it again on the PS5 and seeing it run at 60 fps is something to behold(yes an almost 10 year old game), if you haven't done that on your PS5 try it you won't be disappointed, pure eye candy, a PS5 exclusive of Infamous would be amazing no doubt.

gold_drake1105d ago

meh, i want Cole to come back.

or maybe a reboot. with cole.

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

Flawlessmic1495d ago (Edited 1495d ago )

All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.

Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.

Welshy1495d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic1495d ago (Edited 1495d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils1495d ago (Edited 1495d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic1494d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

outsider16241495d ago

Tenchu 1 and 2
Socom 1 and 2
MGS 1-3
MGS4
ICO

seanpitt231495d ago

RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen

Luc201495d ago

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy

The_Hooligan1495d ago

YES please! Also I would love to see Warhawk come back. Such an awesome game.

moriarty18891495d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k1495d ago (Edited 1495d ago )

Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk

If the PC can emulate the PS3, then for sure the PS5 would be able to do same. but dose Sony want it?

Mr Logic2158d ago

If there was money in it, then Sony would do it. People can bitch and moan all they want, but even if every person on this site used BC, that would still be a tiny fraction of gamers. Almost nobody really uses BC.

DethWish2158d ago (Edited 2158d ago )

I think there would be money if they made PS3 games downloadable through PSNow and added a bunch more.
Edit: I would get it if MGS4 was available

Mr Logic2158d ago

@DethWish

That would be an emulator. You're not making any sense.

DethWish2158d ago

Mr Logic, really? If PS5 could emulate PS3 games (BC) and PSNow would let you download and play PS3 games locally instead of streaming (like it lets you download PS4 games), wouldn't that be awesome? PSNow has some really interesting PS3 games, but I'd prefer to play them locally

MadLad2158d ago

Really?
Remasters of popular games do extremely well. MS basically hands them out for free. If people didn't want to play older games, then why do remasters sell so well?

anonymousfan2158d ago

I honestly would probably never ever use it... But I still think it would be pretty neat. Its one of the few avantages PC still has on console that is complete backwards compatibility. But for all the work needed to implement this I doubt it would be worth Sony's time.

Melankolis2158d ago

In my opinion.
The difference is independent emulator developer can build any emulator as an experiment that will be perfected for years, maybe more than 10 years. During that time, expect many glitch, bugs, and updates. They can do that because they do not have any obligation towards PC users or whatsoever.

Fos Sony, once they announce PS5 will be able to play PS3 games, they have to make it safe and playable for users. They do not want the emulator cause bricks, glitch, heating up or anything to the consoles and get sued for that.

Harkins17212158d ago

The amount of work it would require sony for each game probably isn't worth it. Maybe after rpcs3 is done they can patent it and use it. That's the dream lol

This has been going on for years any full game playable yet

EazyC2158d ago

Wish I never sold my PS3 for MGS IV alone, I'm dying to play it again

Gamerking822158d ago (Edited 2158d ago )

Any ps3 owner has too own this masterpiece . My disk drive has just gone on my old super slim . So I bought the digital version no questions ask . If you have a ps3 own this masterpiece that’s all I can say . I replay it every year and still find loads of enjoyment . The last true metal gear in my opinion . V was good and gameplay amazing , but it’s just not a metal gear quality story wise .
