Infamous

Another sandbox game Infamous (PS3 only) is a little different. You get to choose to be on the side of good or evil.

It plays the old 'forget your memory card' and you wake up after an explosion and notice that you have some weird electricity powers.

As the game progresses you have to choose between following the good or evil path and this will affect the powers that you will have access to. Trying to maintain a balance will just nerf your character so you go either good or bad.

The Good:

  • Graphics are great. Your powers are extremely explosive and you can blow up cars, people and just about everything else in between.
  • The game is good at showing you where 'shards' are that can increase your power bar. So it doesn't become a complete chore to find hidden packages.
  • The powers are great and the story is pretty interesting.
  • Gets a lot of the sandbox issues right such as always knowing where you need to be going.

Not so Good:

  • There isn't a true 'evil path', more a do some bad things path. It was still pretty fun to be a bad guy and destroy everything.

Overall:

Pretty good and lots of fun to play. Story was good and I found it hard to put the game down, it was always just one more shard. :-)
