hi everyone, this is my first review and i just got the game so here it is
Location and Story
The game infamous is a brilliantly made game that takes place in new yo- i mean empire city. starting on flaws first, the story makes little sense. A explosion gives a man super powers, but it isn't really explained(if it is im not up to that part yet). The government puts Empire city in quarantine and its blamed on disease. I would include more but i would not like to spoil the game for anyone. Thats my biggest gripe on the game. Also the main character LIES, he claims all the cops have been killed or are to scared, yet 5 minutes later, we get cops in shoot outs against reapers!
Characters
So besides the guy you are there's your best friend named Zeke and there's a FBI agent named Moya that your working for. Zeke is annoying as hell and sends you a phone call for almost every side quest and in the middle of the story quests. He is almost as annoying as Roman from GTA. Moya seems ok but i get this feeling shes extremely paranoid you might turn on her any second (you probably do if you evil) and i get feeling from her i just dont like. The feeling i get from people i go to school with, which is the only thing that wont make me kill you is the law.
Movement and Combat
Going on game play exploring works like assassins creed. You run across roof tops jumping from building to building and climbing, or walking on the ground. Combat works with a mixed of tactics, and your powers are affected by if your evil or good. if you haven't played the game, Evil gets the high damaging stuff, and good gets the ability to make enemies FLOAT off buildings, yep that's there highlight. The cluster of enemies though, make the game difficult going evil or good. Your electricity also goes down fast, even if you collect the shards. While the regular bolt is free to use, the dang shock grenade wastes a lot of energy, while the explosion is good enough to kill a lot of enemies, the arc makes it hard to aim. One last thing, whats with the enemies all having Long range sniper rifles? Its just insane how long they can shoot. They can shoot farther than you and there very accurate.
Karma System
Being good and evil is majorly affected by these points in the game where you get to choose to do a good deed and get to be a evil bastard. That one point doesn't majorly affect game play but it affects the rest of the game. Going good will make people cheer at you and be excited when your around. Even if you do do good actions, some people will call you a murderer. As i went good, i'm not sure how it affects you if you go evil but im guessing it involves in everyone wanting to murder you. I accidentally punched a cop... i had to run.... far.....
Mapping and Side quests
The game is done like in GTA, you start on one island and as you progress you unlock more, but the problem is EVERY WHERE YOU GO IS SWARMED BY PEOPLE TRYING TO SHOOT YOU. You can easily run and jump around and on the many buildings. The only way to get rid of the Reapers (main enemy) is by doing side quests. This can include killing X amount of enemies, following X to Y, Heal X amount of yada yada and more. Also damn the person who keeps on putting the cameras on buildings, those side quests are annoying as hell. you cant be destroyed by lighting shots? why the heck is the animation of it being destroyed lighting coming out of your hand. dang those quests
Conclusion
All in all the game is great and i have only discovered one main glitch, the game randomly went black and had a irritating sound playing wouldn't stop so i had to reset my PS3. The powers are a bit one sided to the dark side but the multiple powers are great anyway. I recommend this game to anyone who owns the PS3 system. Also id like people to review how i reviewed this game, since this is my first review..
