inFamous 2 Review (GameXplain)

GameXplain: "Moral conflict has quickly become one of gaming's most used staples. Will you be a paragon of virtue, saving old ladies and anyone who needs help? Or will you be an evil bastard, ready to kick puppies and wreak havoc wherever you go? It's a fun system, allowing gamers to do whatever comes natural or go against type to see the possibilities. The problem is, these moral conflicts always work in the extremes. You are either the second coming of Jesus or the devil reborn in human flesh. The original inFamous certainly treated the morality system this way, except for one choice that was truly devious, but the developers at Sucker Punch have seemingly gone out of their way to blur the lines between good and evil in inFamous 2, if only a little. The question is, is the rest of the game good enough to support it?"

So is it better than the 1st?

zinkabass5448d ago (Edited 5448d ago )

Yes,.. Just about anything you can think of is better,..

ElDorado5448d ago

It really is. SuckerPunch improved everything. The voice of Cole may bother you, but that won't last. This game is fantastic and I don't agree with the Empire City > New Marais. New Marais has more variety I think.

GrandTheftZamboni5448d ago

There is nothing wrong with Cole's voice. I don't know where that comes from ...

Pintheshadows5448d ago

This game is fantastic and I don't agree with the Empire City > New Marais. New Marais has more variety I think.

Don't think it, you are absolutely right. I like floodtown as it is effectively a game of don't touch the floor.

YodaCracker5448d ago (Edited 5448d ago )

It has an 83 on Metacritic, compared to the first Infamous which has an 85, so the general consensus seems to be "No, it is not better than the first one" unless standards have risen so much in the last 2 years that today an 83 is better than an 85 from 2009.

zinkabass5448d ago (Edited 5448d ago )

You high, or just retarded?

fghsjdfghjdfhgkjdf5448d ago

Reviews for sequels rarely work the same as the original games. The original will be measured as a stand alone game against all others, a sequel gets measured by a function of how significantly it improves upon the franchise and only with respect to that is it then weighed against other games.

I've played both, I enjoyed infamous 2 significantly more than the first. I also agree with most of the reviews.

GrandTheftZamboni5448d ago

Some sites included in Metacritic are retarded or haters ... liars either way. Edge gave it 60. There goes their credibility forever in eyes of everyone who gets to play Infamous 2. The game deserves 95 in my opinion.

Silly gameAr5448d ago

Why do trolls always feel the need to flood PS3 articles with nonsense. I've noticed that most of the top comments in PS3 articles lately are from trolls.

Stick to the articles you enjoy instead of forcing other people to read your trash.

TBM5448d ago

hate to break it to you yoda but the part 2 is actually better than 1 in every way, its just that reviewers are too stupid to is it.

than the 1st and. and evil powers are good while good powers are great

story is much better you always have one focus and that's the beast

Neckbear5448d ago (Edited 5448d ago )

"story is much better you always have one focus and that's the beast"

Untrue, half the game focuses on the issues with Bertrand and the Militia and the Conduits and all that. Basically, it's "to hell with The Beast!" despite the reminder that it's going to eat Cole soon.

Just like the first one, where half the game focused on you fixing the issues of Empire City and whatnot.

Really, it's just more of the same. Not a better game, but not a worse game, either. In my opinion, at least.

GrandTheftZamboni5448d ago

@Neckbear

One thing is not debatable: graphics are MUCH better in inFamous 2. Only someone who hasn't played it can claim otherwise.

HowarthsNJ5448d ago

I'm playing both at the same time.

The second is better in graphics and over all tech, but both are great games.

You are forced to become full Hero or fully inFamous to get the most power. No shades of gray.

I finally got started on Infamous 2 last night. After finally finishing LA Noire, this game is a godsend! I was extremely starved on action and Infamous 2 delivers.

Alexious1101d ago

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

-Foxtrot1101d 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

lukasmain1101d ago

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

anast1100d 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.

masterfox1101d 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_drake1101d 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. "

Flawlessmic1492d ago (Edited 1492d 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.

Welshy1491d 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.

Flawlessmic1491d ago (Edited 1491d 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 👌

RedDevils1491d ago (Edited 1491d ago )

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

Flawlessmic1491d 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.

outsider16241492d ago

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

seanpitt231491d ago

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

Luc201491d ago

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

The_Hooligan1491d ago

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

moriarty18891491d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k1491d ago (Edited 1491d ago )

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

Latest RPCS3 build brings major improvements in Metal Gear Solid 4, inFamous 2, Ninja Gaiden & more

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

Mr Logic2154d 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.

DethWish2154d ago (Edited 2154d 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 Logic2154d ago

@DethWish

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

DethWish2154d 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

MadLad2154d 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?

anonymousfan2154d 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.

Melankolis2154d 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.

Harkins17212154d 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

EazyC2154d ago

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

Gamerking822154d ago (Edited 2154d 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 .
