I will be honest, I watched the review video and it just struck me as monotonous. What is so good about this game?

Eh, there isn't anything that great about it. I'd even go so far as to say that the video review over-glorifies it a bit, after a while playing through it, it gets a bit bland. Doesn't make it a bad game, it is still a great game, just a little bland.

I thought it was a good game and can't wait for the sequel. The story was good but the ending was excellent. It's an open sand box game with super powers, what's not to like. I liked the powers and upgrading them. If you can pick it up used , I would say it 's a great game to add to your collection.

It's just a so well made and well thought out, polished game. It's like playing a more serious version of Sly, which was another fantastic game (series) by Sucker Punch.

Story is pretty good

Definitely has a good feel to it, where you grow to like or hate characters (not as good as MGS4 and Uncharted, but what are ;))

Very fun

Pretty nice graphics for open world (but laggy at times, being its worst fault)

For me the game was very fun and worth buying, but my two problems are that it has frame issues (closer to the end game areas) and the facial animations (of cole pretty much) are awful. I never noticed, then when I played it again after playing Uncharted 1, Uncharted 2, and MGS4, I realized how much it lacks.

ill be as honest as i can about it.

its like gta but u dont need a car. you have super powers instead of guns. the characters suck, but the concept/story are well written. especially the end! very original. the missions can get monotonous, but overall it is a fun game. once you start upgrading your powers, you truly do feel like a badass. the city is huge and well-detailed, and platforming thru it is very easy. its not a bad game by any means. if your into open world adventures, then its definitly worth checking out.

Just the usual over-hype. The graphics are dreadful alone and the game is not good and very repetitive. I guess anything that's exclusive to Sony gets over-hyped even though it sucks!

Yeah I played the demo and watched the review, and honestly it just seemed like crap. I've heard from many of my friends that it's great, and it's praised a lot on these boards but I just for the life of me can't see what everyone else sees.

yea i agreel i played the demo and it really didnt seem all that great to me but im guessing the demo doesnt do the full game justice as far as making a final judgment so im just going to buy the game (for $30 what the hell right? might as well) and see what all the hub bub is about

I have considered it a great game and worth playing by any gamer. The game grows on you as you make your decisions on whether you wish to go good or evil. It deserves the praise it gets IMO. People only judged it based on the demo but its a game you have to play for a while so you can get attached to it.

What isnt the big deal about InFamous?

From the flashy, exciting combat, to an excellently presented story that is magnifecent, to a beatiful artstyle and city, InFamous is great.

Didn't think highly of this game at all. Rather repetitive and Cole running around the city like he was hopped up on adderol and cocaine didn't help either. The ending was flat out lame(hero). I was glad to sell this on Amazon after beating it.

Great game, one i keep going back to. Though not one I could play through from start to finish with out having another game to play in between. I can get repetitive but it really is a great fun game. Well worth having in your collection. It's very cheap now.

You should play the Demo on the ps store. Basically, if you like superhero action games, then you will love infamous. It's like playing spiderman or star wars force unleashed in a totally open world environment. You can go anywhere, approach and objective however you want, search out items hidden through the city, perform side quests, etc. Instead of the traditionally linear gameplay, it's totally up to you how u play. I mean totally up to you because u can actually choose to solve quests and problems as evil or good. How u choose affects you and how the people of the city perceive you. In this respect, it's a lot like an open world RPG. The story is also fantastic...like straight outnofna good comic book. Infamous is one if the best games this gen. Seriously...play the demo. That's what finally hooked me.

This sums it up well. Nothing special, but just plain fun. People often say the powers are all very samey, but I disagree, linking up combos is awesome fun.

Like a few people here, I loved InFamous, but I wouldn't ever say that it's the greatest game ever made or something like that. The storyline was decent, the gameplay--while admittedly reptitive at times--was still fun and I at least found msyelf using every one of my abilities (which I rarely do in games). I found it particularly enjoyable on Hard, which the the only way I'd recommend playing it. It's not particularly hard on Hard mind you, but it does ensure that you at least make some effort in the game. I've never played it on Normal, but I can see where it'd be super repetitive since I suppose using only one or two abilities would be just fine.

As for the graphics, they weren't great, but people get way too hung up on that these days. They were just enough for the job. It's just a fun game, and if you have time, rent it and enjoy it for what it is. A game doesn't have to be called the Greatest Ever to be enjoyable.

inFAMOUS was a great game people keep judging it by the demo which you really can't as you learn my powers as you progress in the game which I found that it made inFAMOUS better. The story was actually really good and the ending was surprising as for someone saying the graphics aren't that good you should look at Prototype that's dull compared to inFAMOUS.
