inFamous is an interesting game idea but was lacking.

When I first heard of inFamous I though it was awesome to play as a sort of super hero with powers. Once I played the game, I felt like I wished his powers made you feel more powerful. I felt that they lacked and weren't as powerful since it took a lot of blasting to kill the enemies. Sure the last set of powers look really nice but it's hard to pull off when the civilians remain in areas that Cole is battling the enemies. Which is another thing that was annoying at times. Instead of running away, the civilians would either stay around, crouching in fear and at times running towards the enemies. Or since I played as Hero they would remain to help Cole, by throwing rocks at the enemies. But instead of feeling that they were being helpful I felt they were getting in my way.

The game was not terribly horrible, I must say the story was very good. Especially the nice twist in the end that I definitely was not expecting. I'm curious as to what may happen if there is a sequel, since we didn't hear an end to what was Moya's purpose.

It's a fun game with an interesting premise and hopefully if there is a sequel, I would like if Cole's powers improved. Such as scaling buildings quickly or having a power that would help him leap higher, that would actually be awesome.
