Infamous Review

Infamous is a third person action game about the story of Cole McGrath, who is caught in an explosion in Empire City which gave him the power to manipulate electricity. Infamous is a good fun game that anyone can enjoy. What I like about it is the fact that you can climb nearly every structure and it runs very smoothly when in motion, but when climbing, the animations can be a bit sketchy and are a little off when it comes to realistic movements. There is a karma system where you can make good or bad choices depending on which moral path you decide to take. Both good and bad karma offer different versions of the same powers, but the evil powers offer a lot more satisfaction if you are looking for chaos and destruction. Empire city is beautifully built and looks realistic in the architecture and everything is proportional. What I don't like about Infamous is the unskippable cutscenes and the repetitive gameplay. Many of the side mission are the same as others, with just a few that are different. Once you've played the game through and decide to go back for a second playthrough, you aren't allowed to skip the cutscenes, although they are in a cool comic book style, they can be annoying. Overall I enjoyed this game and I recommend it to anyone who wants to be entertained. I give Infamous a 81 of 100.
