Some really impressive abilities have been added, including fire and ice powers and ionic storm which allows Cole to rip up entire streets and clear them of scores of enemies. The good powers and bad powers are now karma locked meaning that you cannot get both as you are locked out of powers depending on your karma choices.

New powers have been added to Cole's repoitoire that allow you to move around the city even more quickly and easily, which is key to a free roaming game world.
Infamous 2 plays nearly identically to how the original played but it has some evolutionary adjustments that do not radically change the game in anyway but do improve multiple parts of the game that make it more refined and accessible. Its an unusual omission that is noticeable during the game. Quite commonly you will be traversing the game without any music at all for a long time. The music in the game is also excellent, but there is a lack of sound in many areas of the game. The new actor for Cole took some getting used to, but the voice work for Cole is actually very good and suits the character after the adjustment period. The voice acting in Infamous 2 is strong, with the accent of the area being captured well and the new cast being well voiced. The comic book like cutscenes are back again and as good as beofre, adding even more style and strength to the art direction of the game.
Infamous 2 rating skin#
There is some minor pop in and the skin of characters can look a bit odd, but it is a visually good game with a subtle style that makes it distinct from other games. Enemies look good, with new opponents like swamp dwelling monsters and ice based soldiers being added to the roster. Its a much more colourful game, with brighter clothing and powers and smart use of environments like the sun and water. There's real diversity in New Marais from the neon-lit red light district to the Katrina-like devastation of Floodtown. New Marais is a much more attractive and diverse city visually than Empire City was in the first game. The animations are fluid and natural, which is great as there is a lot of terrain traversal in this game. The visuals of Infamous 2 are very good and similar to the original, but everything looks cleaner and a bit more detailed. The story is very dependent on the first game, but it does a great job of building up an air of intimidation and fear around the ultimate enemy and it is an enjoyable story even if you have not played the first game though it loses a lot of impact. The end game is powerful, and the ending is really satisfying and provides a proper end to the story arch. The game builds solid motives for being either good or evil, and both feel equally viable and pragmatic, unlike the first game where there was no real reason to be evil.
The games main villain Bertrand is not very interesting, but Cole gets allies during the game that are more compelling.
It was fantastic to see the location you spent all the previous game in fall to the enemy, and Infamous 2 has a more character driven and powerful story. Since this is the beginning of the game, Cole is defeated by the Beast and is forced to flee to New Marais, a New Orleans like city, to regain his lost powers and prepare for the Beast there. This is a thrilling opening to the game as you fight the Beast at the very start of the game in an incredible visual display ripe with set pieces and pumping music. Cole is preparing to face the prophesised Beast, but prior to Cole being ready the Beast appears and attacks Empire City. The story of Infamous 2 picks up directly from where the first game left you.
Infamous 2 rating ps3#
As a major PS3 exclusive franchise and a sandbox trying to tell a linear story Infamous 2 does remarkably well in marrying clashing game designs. Its a really solid game with a strong narrative, but it does have some niggling issues. Infamous 2 is a sandbox game through and through, but it also continues the surprisingly strong story of its predecessor and attempts to improve many aspects of the game mechanics.
