My 1st impressions after beating inFAMOUS. Think of it as a better prototype or a darker superhero sandbox game.
I don't have much bad to say about inFAMOUS save for the lighting, ya, I suppose I'm being a bit punny today. Just sometimes you lose a battle with the enemies you fight simply because you can't see. It doesn't help when the overworld can literally be a shade of grey. It just got to the point where the contrast of lightning shooting from your hand and the nothing but blackish-greyish area in between really bothered me while I was playing that I just wanted to get the game done. I like to explore, but seeing the over world become like all grey? No thanks. Some of the missions can be pretty repetitive too, but it's nowhere near as bad as Prototype's side missions. Also the whole good and evil thing seemed a bit pointless after a while, ya it did impact the story a bit, but it just wasn't nearly as present as it lets on. I personally think the game would be better off without the good and evil mechanics. Just make Cole out to be a hero that is perceived as bad I think that's a better dynamic than just choose if you're good or evil. Cole just seems much more complex than that, especially considering the ending of this game.
Conclusion: The best way I can personally describe inFAMOUS is the better version of Prototype, although I suppose it's exactly the opposite. While I personally have a problem with the lighting inFAMOUS provides, and the fact it wants you to stick to either a good or evil motive, inFAMOUS still lights up my spirits of new IPs making waves in the gaming world.
