Man it was freakin amazing. I can't wait :D .... I think it will get about 8.5/10 if there was no bad surprises.

It took me about 30 minutes to finish all 4 or 5 missions, which is pretty long comparing with other demos.

The game looks very promising, controls look very smooth, the main character looks like a badass, and the story line seems very catchy. My only problem with the infamous was the enemies, they can pop out from anywhere at any time, and they keep shooting the crap out of you until you figure out where they were.

The good about Infamous was that climbing and sliding made very easy, you don't need to be so precise about where you jump to hold on to the nearest pilar or pole. Also the shooting mechanism does not need constant recharging. You consume your electric charge only when you throw the electrical bombs thingys. Regular shots do not consume anything. You only recharge when you need to speed up the regeneration process. What got my attention the most was the effects. Electricity running through objects, opponents, and trains is unbelievably awesome. Not mentioning the destructible objects, which are pretty much all over the place.

My only take on Infamous is that they made it so difficult to locate enemies. You can see them on the map, but you don't know how high or low they are especially if you were surrounded by multiple enemies. I think it needs some getting used to.

Other than that the game was absolutely awesome. I played through it twice already and I am gonna go through it for the third time tomorrow. It is one of the best open world games I've ever seen. Again, unless there are bad surprises, the game should get at about 8.5/10 in my opinion.

I hear you.. the problem that I have is that Cross Edge is coming the same days as UFC.. and I'm ridiculously exited for the only fighting franchise I play - Fight Night series is also out in June..

To many games.. I will have to make some compromises.

I Played the inFamous demo and its very very fun! Seems that the climbing system could use a little touching up. but they could have done the demo months ago so it may be fixed by now. I can't wait for it to come out I have it pre-ordered at Gamestop

Your speaking my language brother. I'm married with two kids, and I relate. The worst thing is though, my hated job does not pay enough, and with all expenses of a family, my gaming has gotten gimped and limited.....I'm starting to have to pick and choose what I'm getting, and cutting a lot of games I want out of the fray. Resident Evil 5 has been chopped, and now coming up I have to choose out of Virtua Tennis 3, inFamous, UFC, and a couple more due this month. I need to paint one of my kids black and sell it on ebay to Madonna or Branjelina

Yeah, don't you hate it. They suck you dry but you gotta love 'em! :) What gets me is my wife doesn't give a crap about what I buy (because I make the money, b***h!! lol) but I always end up feeling like a selfish bass turd. Especially when my daughter wants a bed time story and daddy's in the middle of a heated online match of KZ2. Oh well. My weekly ranks are a small small sacrifice...... Oh, and Madonna's left the market, and Branjelina told me she was looking for something a little more 'third-world' or whatever. I think she means she wants a kid from mississippi, right?

the fact that every other day someone makes a new infamous demo thread, and that no one can keep it one thread makes me believe all this are devs or testers trying to hype and promote the game.

i've heard the same type of pre hype for godfather 2 and people were raving about superman returns demo as well. plus i've seen people do this go to the gamespot threads to promote there games. the video do not support any of the comments that have come out, and there all starting to sound the same with no real explanation as to why its so "awesome"

i am, and hope other would be extremely hesitent to believe anything they hear on the forums its a sad fact that this type of thing happens but it does. i hope its a good game specially since its a bit of a gaming dry spell.

You can preorder it at BestBuy to receive a code to download the demo. Or, you could just wait until Thursday when the demo will be available on the PSN.

My only problem with the infamous was the enemies, they can pop out from anywhere at any time, and they keep shooting the crap out of you until you figure out where they were.

The good about Infamous was that climbing and sliding made very easy, you don't need to be so precise about where you jump to hold on to the nearest pilar or pole. Also the shooting mechanism does not need constant recharging. You consume your electric charge only when you throw the electrical bombs thingys. Regular shots do not consume anything.

this is actually something i like about the game, i mean its pretty silly for enemies to only attack you from one direction. Also i you click the L3 button it briefly makes the enemies have a red glow making it easier to spot them. Although there is a limited range for the glow thing. Also this search also makes electrical sources appear they start having electricity arc over itself saying that this thing has electricity in it.

I really love battling the conduit enemy, do epic last second dodge and then zap the bastard feels cool.

I think it could use a bit more anti aliasing, there is some pop in but its not that bad.

thankyou SCE Australia for emailing me a free demo code for no apparent reason!
