4.5/5 ★ – KHFanXIII's review of inFAMOUS 2.
This whole review is gonna be a bunch of word vomit of how much I like this game.
inFamous 2 is a nearly perfect game, and an amazing follow up to the first one.
Everything about this game is just better.
Traversal-wise, they give you a lot more freedom of movement in the air, being able to maneuver Cole a lot more easily. In addition, the game has new powers introduced in this game that help you traverse even better. The Lightning Tether and the Ice Launch are both amazing.
Combat wise, it's mostly the same, just better. More powers, improved melee combat, etc.
The animations in this game (AND the character models) are MUCH better than the first one. Actually seeing real emotion on character's faces and more movement than just a few hand movements is crazy after seeing the lower budget nature of the first one.
Story-wise, meh. It's about the same level of enjoyment, but I did enjoy Zeke A LOT more in this one and his relationship with Cole is actually one of my favorite parts of this game.
Even performance-wise, I felt this one stuck closer to 30fps much more of the time than the first one, which I felt was almost never there. There are still drops, but this one felt a whole lot smoother to play than the first.
Overall, yeah this game is awesome. I love every aspect of it and my only complaints are minor nitpicks and a meh story. Please play this if you haven't because it's definitely worth your time.
((Also, please Sony, for the love of god remaster these. I'd love to play these at 60fps))
