...you will LOVE Infamous 2! Infamous 2 improves on Infamous 1 in almost every way. Simply put, Infamous 2 is fun. Fun! Why? -Satisfying combat --The new combat system is much improved from Infamous 1, essential giving you a huge arsenal of unique powers to choose from. You will unlock different bolts, blasts, grenades, rockets, and ionic attacks (think lightning storm). You can only equip one of each type of attack at a time, but can switch which is equipped on the fly. I should point out Good and Evil paths unlock different powers. --Combat is more difficult than Infamous 1 (I'm playing on hard), which is a heartily welcomed improvement. Enemies are tougher and your wounds don't heal as fast when you exit combat. Also unlike Infamous 1, you can challenge yourself by your selection of powers. I see myself going back and completed the game again with just weakest powers for an additional challenge. --Stealth can play a larger role because enemies don't notice you as easily, which is nice. --The amp! Melee combat is a blast thanks to it --Interaction with environment means lots of ways to take down enemies -The parkour platforming elements means traversing the city is never boring, and can be quite enjoyable -Many many side missions to complete -Many many blast shards to collect -Many many powers to unlock -Improved karma system from Infamous 1 -More random city events than Infamous 1 -User generated content. Although limited at the moment, seems to have much potential. Negatives: -The camera can be a bit wonky at times -Cole sometimes falls through objects unexpectedly while climbing -Side missions can become repetitive (but hey, there's 60 of them, what do you expect?) All in all, Infamous 2 is an awesome blend of FPS, action/RPG, and platformer. I highly recommend it as one of the best games for PS3. But play Infamous 1 first so you know the story!

I loved the first Infamous, and I would hope that the second game would meet my expectations that the first game left me with. The second game went above and beyond my expectations in almost every category. The gameplay was great, the voice actors were fantastic, and the visuals were fantastic. The only slight negative was the change in voice actor for Cole. He was definitely just as good as the first, so that was not much of a problem, but it was an abrupt change, and occasionally, since I was used to the original voice actor, it threw me off a little bit. Other than that, it was a great game.
