Infamous 1 and 2

So I got Infamous 1 way back during the welcome back program for free. Didn't play much of it.

Recently I have been getting back into it. Sometimes it feels like a chore but than sometimes its quite fun.

What do you guys thinks of Infamous 1? Obviously the graphics are a little dated.

Also, I plan on downloading infamous 2 after since its free for psn plus owners. Is it much of a improvement over the first one?

'Infamous 1' is a good game, but it has its drawbacks. It's easily one of the worst looking PS3 exclusives and the side missions get a bit tedious, but otherwise it's a solid, unique and fun game. I feel that 2 is an improvement over 1. Better powers, a more ingaging environment, and better writing and voice acting. Honestly I don't think the story between the two games overall is all that great, but it does the job of moving the gameplay forward well enough, and 2 does manage to add some emotional context that wasn't there in the first one.

i would say infamous 2 is a HUGE improvement from the first. i never really liked the whole diry grimy city setting but it was bareable for me in infamous 2 cuz the gameplay was great and the graphics were vastly improved. i played infamous 1 for like 15 minutes and i couldn't stand it, it was probably the worst looking game ive played on the ps3. i honestly thought i saw ps2 games that looked better than that game, but infamous 2 was a great improvement though i played it all the way through.

I liked the story, environment, and karma choices better in inFamous 1. But the gameplay and graphics are better in inFamous 2.

They are pretty good games. I played the frist one in the welcome back program too and I was pretty amazed how good it was. I just started playing 2 a couple days ago, and its not very different from 1 but it is slightly improved and has a bit more variety. I like it so far and I had no interest in ever getting these games before. #2 is better than #1 so far, but since im not very deep in the story yet, Im still trying to figure out why GS gave it a 7.5/10, cuz its just as good if not better than #1 Nengo_Flow

I believe Infamous 2 actually got worse overall scores from the game critics, but I'm not really sure why.:?

In my opnion, Infamous 2 was a huge improvement over the first one. It had bigger, badder, and more bad*ss powers. The missions weren't as repetitive, and the overall buildup to the finale of the game was just epic! (BTW, I took the evil ending :P. So much more dramatic than the good ending :P)

Definitely worth playing through :D

i consider both inFAMOUS games to be Sony's best offerings this generation so I think rather highly of them. The first game had a better story, platforming segments, and bosses. The second has far superior gameplay, more interesting powers, more varied powers between karmas, and a bigger difference in the overall game when choosing good and evil paths.

1 is a good game.

Cole becomes a huge d-bag in #2. I hate all the changes they made to him.

2 is a better game,cooler powers,more interesting city,improved graphics,more varied enemies.....but it is very similar to the first game gameplay wise.

I enjoyed both! :)

I enjoyed the first Infamous quite a bit but never really got into the second game. The new "Cole" never appealed to me and the certain charm from the original game was absent.

I have yet to finish Infamous 2, haven't found the desire but I do plan to eventually.

I give the edge to 1st just for being the 1st.

2 made some improvements but it was incredibly similar, more like Infamous 1.5, the ending was surprisingly good though ( talking about the good ending, I know what happens in the evil ending but havent actually done an evil playthrough, someone spoiled it)
