inFAMOUS 2's fun gameplay and atmosphere make it feel like a fully-realized comic book; an unforgettable power fantasy.

Cole is back, twitchy platforming and all, for another round

Infamous. Quite a lofty title for a game. Sucker Punch’s super powered anti-hero may not have been known by all, but he apparently did well enough to warrant a sequel. Which brings us to Infamous 2. A… Read more

A criminally underrated sequel

I was somewhat disappointed last year when Infamous 2 came out and was widely met with lukewarm reviews. The first Infamous is my second favorite game on the PS3, and I was very eager to see what woul… Read more

Refined, fluid, and well-written. What more could I ask for?

Let go. Those two simple words were enough to cement my love for inFamous 2. For those who played it and went the route of the angels, you’ll know exactly what I mean. For those who haven’t even touch… Read more

Electric Avenue Gets Interesting Down South

I have to start this review by stating that I despised the first Infamous. I found the characters irritating, the missions repetitive, and the gameplay loose. It is understandable then that I dove int… Read more

A great sequel to an already great game.

Like the first inFamous? You should probably play this.

I'm going to be honest. I liked the first inFamous a great deal. That's to say I like how it played. But I can't remember a damned thing about the story. I know I was bad. And someone died. And time t… Read more

An electrifying, although slightly disappointing thrill ride

Infamous stormed on to the scene in 2009 when PS3 was in desperate need of some exclusives. The game was a solid sci-fi, superhero origin story for protagonist Cole MacGrath, successfully blending pla… Read more

If inFamous is your thing, then inFamous 2 will (mostly) satisfy.

I think it’s safe to assume that going forward in the industry we’re likely to see more sequels to preexisting franchises than entirely original intellectual properties. In 2011 alone we’ve seen Dead… Read more

More of The Same But Brand New.

(Please note that as of this review, I have only completed the game as a good guy. I have not played evil yet, but I plan to. If these plans happen is unknown.) In 2009, Sucker Punch , developers of t… Read more

"Yo dawg, we heard you like infamous..."

I found it slightly funny that during all the craziness and official reveals of games at E3, Sony was releasing the sequel to one of their most successful franchises. It seems oddly fitting in that, a… Read more

Infamous 2 epically amazing.

So after just getting Infamous 2 I sat down and put over 5 hours in the game nonstop. This game packs together everything that made the first game great and expands upon it. With returning game play a… Read more

Zeke still sucks, but that's about all that does.

Infamous 2 is a hard game to place, they’ve changed so much about it while leaving so much of it the exact same. Yet it still manages to feel like a unique open world experience with a ton of content… Read more
