A great game thats a worth successor but does have its draw backs.
The Good: Climbing and moving around is easier then the first game, powers have been revamped and they really show of the destructible environments, boss battles are fun and are the highlights of the game. Heaps of User generated maps add to the longevity.Story will make you say OH SNAP at least once.
The Bad:Before pre-ordering this game i watched a interview with the developers where he said that alot of super powered games de-power the hero at the start of the squeal and basiclly make you spend the entire game leveling up to what your were before in the first game, he said infamous 2 wouldn't do this and the game would be giving you extra powers on top of your existing ones...which is great..if they actually did it, 4 mins in and you lose all your powers and guess what you'll be doing for the next 8 hrs? thats right except you wont be getting all of them back the Bullet shield from the first game is gone and it would be of great help here since you are going to be seeing alot of guns aimed at you also you know that lame Melee weapon they gave you, think you'll never use it right? but you will since they have now limited your basic lightning attack so that it uses power as well so in actually fact your alot weaker then the first game since you can actually run out of lighting, yes, you the human battery you run out of juice very easily which means you'll be running up to enemys and hoping they dont blow your head off before you brain them with your flashy stick...which will extend some levels a bit since power can be very scarce depending on where your fighting. Ionic storm is gone for the most part although you do pick it up about 5mins from the end so you wont get to play with it too much.
Despite its short comings this is a good game and like i said if you enjoyed the first one then you will be pleased with the sequel.......i dont think i would have minded losing my powers 4mins in if they hadn't have raised my hopes so much that they weren't going to pull a GoW 1,2,3 on me and strip Cole back down to a human glow stick from the God of Thunder he ended up being in infamous.Pity.
