I absolutely love the new powers here especially tossing cars as projectiles and the “Just Cause” inspired Lightning Tether. Unlike most games where you gain powers and then lose them for the sequel, inFamous 2 gives you most your goodies from the last game, while introducing new ones throughout the game. There is never a lack of something to do, and you will constantly be distracted from the main quest to partake in what the city has to offer. There are also plenty of activities to sway you one way or the other such as taking out street performers or stopping muggings. The mission structure is setup just the same with story missions scattered throughout the map as well as side missions that focus on both good and evil paths. Sucker Punch was wise to keep things familiar because well, the first game was truly one of the better open-world titles available. There are new and returning characters and the difference between good and evil is even harder thanks to involving dialogue and some great character development.įrom the minute you step into New Marais, things feel familiar. From here, the game fills you in on how close The Beast is to arriving in New Marais, and just how long Cole has to power up his abilities before the final showdown can occur. This forces Cole to retreat to the South where he arrives at your new sandbox called New Marais. Following the events of the original, you are immediately thrust into a battle with The Beast and are quickly handed your defeat. The story in inFamous 2 starts off with a bang. As long as you played the original you will be fine, but if you jump in fresh, a lot of the dialogue and characters will be alien to you. There is a quick synopsis at the beginning, but after that it relies on your knowledge to fill in the blanks for characters and events. inFamous 2 assumes you have recollection of all the events in the original game, including some of your karmic decisions. The most important thing to note about the sequel is that if you have not played the original game, you will be lost. Fans of the original game should not miss out on this incredible sequel. inFamous 2 takes everything that made the original special and amps (yeah, puns already) it up to the next level.

The idea of once again stepping into the shoes of Cole MacGrath and his struggle with his powers was exciting to say the least.

When Sucker Punch announced a sequel, the level of excitement was through the roof. It is also considered one of the best superhero games ever created. The original inFamous is considered by some to be one of the best sandbox games of this generation.
