I’ve been thinking about this, and I think the main reason I like inFamous so much better than [Prototype] is the art direction. While both games are on par graphically, inFamous feels like an interesting, living, breathing world with a certain graphic style. [Prototype] on the other hand feels sterile and cookie-cutter.

Maybe part of it is the whole fictional city vs. real-world city. Maybe part of it is the fact that inFamous, as a rule, moves slower, so greater attention to the details of the city had to be paid, whereas the city is really just a background of white noise that whizzes by you in [Prototype].

Either way, inFamous has *soul*, which counts for a LOT in making a video game memorable.

I just finished playing through inFamous as evil Cole, and I just started out with going the good route, and am about %78 done.

One critique I have is on collecting the shards. It was tolerable the first time around only because they were needed. I’m almost reluctant to go through a second play knowing that I’ll have to run around and find ~200 some shards to get back to the same level as my other file.

I kind of wish they carried over.

Worth the purchase, great game overall.

A side note on the graphics, suckerpunch is the same studio that made Sly Cooper a cell shaded toon style game. InFamous is a huge style cahnge for them, and I’m impressed that they made it as gritty as they did while staying true to their style.

Well now I’ve sunk 16 hours into it I do agree it is a little rough around the edges. As you mentioned the cut scenes are the main time it shows, however I think overall it’s an outstanding looking game.

If you loved Crackdown, it sounds like you will totally love this game.

However, if Crackdown didn’t interest you at all (I found it incredibly boring) – inFamous likely won’t be your cup of tea either.

I heard several reviews praising this game so I downloaded the demo and, I dunno, I guess I just don’t get this type of game. It feels (as crackdown did) like some generic fighter game, like the original spiderman game or something, there’s just no meat to it.

But obviously lots of people are loving this game since it’s getting raving reviews (like this one) – I guess I’m just the odd one out on this game.

Don’t get me wrong, I may have been a little harsh by saying it’s crap. It’s just that when you’re on a breakaway and the game turns to a powerpoint slide show, it’s disappointing. If you aren’t worried about multiplayer precision, it’s should be fine.

Sad to hear about the Wi-fi, I had some high hopes there. I’m not really so much a gamer guy as you might be, I just enjoy playing for relaxation once in a while. The bottom line is that I’ve bought so much crap for the 360 that I could get better, and cheaper for a PS3. Headsets, cables AND the hysterical adapter you have to buy from MS to be able play wireless (which I haven’t bought yet, and got me considering a PS3 instead).

My favourite game to play is available to PS3 as well, but the problem now is that I like playing online as much as I enjoy single-player campaigns.

The wi-fi problem isn’t really a problem for me, hence I now have a cable drawn through my whole apartment to connect the 360 (I can’t tell you how much I refuse getting that wireless adaptor).

Wi-fi is crap on PS3, I play allot of NHL09 and tried plugged and unplugged and notice a significant amount of dropped packetty lag with Wi-fi. I have a top of the line Router.

Having both consoles and staying out of fanboy land is the way to roll , they both rock.

Yeah, totally stoked about Crackdown 2! I too loved the first game and had my fingers crossed that a sequel would be announced at E3. I knew what it was as soon as the trailer started.
