inFamous Review

Storyline

In the game inFamous you play as Cole, a person who makes his living delivering packages. One day you are carrying a package that happens to be a bomb. It explodes in a huge burst of electricity killing everyone in a 6,000 foot radius, except you! Instead it gives you powers which you use for good or evil and decide the fate of Empire City. The story is filled with death and betrayal and the end leaves you on an amazing cliffhanger that leaves you thirsty for the sequel.

Characters

Throughout the game you meet many different people from FBI agents, to undercover spies. You have a best friend, Zeke, and a girlfriend, Trish. You have enimies like deformed witches, to gang conduits, and a special surprise at the end but I won't spoil that. There are many characters who all have different fates that affect you as Cole. I really like character development and how they affect the storyline and how the climax plays out.

Game Play

Throughout the game you can perform a variety of missions. Story missions, side missions, good missions, and evil missions. Good missions and evil missions are counted as side missions but they affect if you become good or evil. Also the game play is a bit different in good missions and evil missions. In good missions you usually protect people or save them. Sometime you help out cops in fights against the gangs or you can transport gang members to the police station for interrogation. In evil missions you usually assassinate people or cause riots, or strike blows against cops. Sometimes you steal things to. Those missions affect your karma and make people like you or hate you. In side missions you perform random favors that don't change your karma even if they seem good or evil. These missions include hooking up satellites, disabling surveillance, spying, defending or destroying police stations, finding hidden packages,and deffending medic zones. All of these missions take over territory which enemies will not return to. Story missions have a huge variety to.

In story missions you recharge power to the city, disable tar kegs, make desicions that make you good or evil, save people, protect supplies, and you have some epic boss battles. Not to mention that almost any battle you have can be epic, by the extreme. All of this stuff affects the last level where you finally realize the truth about you, and your enemy. The story through takes about 10-12 hours depending on how good you are and your difficulty level. There's one more feature of gameplay which is just hunting for blast shards and daed drops. Blast shards give you more power and dead drops give you clues to what will happen next in the story, or if they don't they give you information on your enemies.
