Two great on-disc games and one not-so-great download-only game.

User Rating: 8.5 | inFamous Collection PS3
This collection comes with inFamous and inFamous 2. The third game, inFamous: Festival of Blood can be obtained though a redeemable code that comes with the case.

Instead of a paper manual, the game comes with a digital manual that you can install onto your PS3. This manual comes with all the information that you would find in a standard PS3 game manual: How to set up the game, game controls, game credits, etc.

Moving on to the games...

inFamous: This is a choice-based open-world action game in which you play as superhero-by-fate Cole MacGrath. The graphics are quite stunning, though many of the character models look cartoonish and exaggerated. The controls are pretty solid, making scaling walls, sliding on electrical wires and zapping enemies - or random pedestrians - accessible and fun. The game features an original score reminiscent of what John Williams did for the original Star Wars trilogy. Cutscenes play out in a slightly-animated comic book style, with the dialogue being dubbed over. I really don't like the storytelling in this game. For some reason, it seems like it worked much better in Max Payne. Overall, this is a great choice-driven superhero - or antihero, depending on which path you choose - sandbox experience.

inFamous 2: Much of the same from the first game, except that there are some slight changes/improvements in animation, camera angles, lip sync, voice actors and lighting among other things, such as a few new powers, mechanics and attacks for Cole to learn. This game does little more than build upon the ideas presented in the first game. It's a good, fun experience, although the ending leaves many questions unanswered and is overall rather disappointing. But I guess that depends on which ending you get.

inFamous: Festival of Blood: This is Cole as a vampire and that's about it. A few new mechanics and abilities were added but nothing awe-inspiring like the feeling I had my first time playing inFamous 1; jumping from a 50-foot skyscraper, landing on a telephone line and proceeding to slide down to the street while shooting down enemies below with lightning blasts. I feel like this was a cheap attempt to cash in on the vampire vibe that was brought about with recent media (at the time) such as Twilight and the Chronicles of Vladimir Tod. This games doesn't stray far from inFamous 2 in terms of...anything. An okay game from beginning to end.

Overall, I'm glad that this collection was made. My only real complaint is that you have to download Festival of Blood. Why couldn't they just put it on the disc like the other two games? Maybe it wouldn't fit. Whatever the case, Sony didn't take into account that some people don't use PSN or just might buy the game after the expiration date on the code. If it weren't for that annoyance, I would have given this package a 9.0 instead of an 8.5.
