So I just finished inFAMOUS 2 this morning. Yeah, I know, what have I been doing for the last five years. It's the backlog, I tell you!

Anyway, I found the two PS3 inFAMOUS games quite different in terms of pacing, content, and overall quality. I wondered where VGChartz stands on the matter.

Which is your favorite, and why?



Around the Network

InFAMOUS 2 is the best game. While the plot isn't on par with InFAMOUS 1, and that's not saying the plot of 2 is bad or anything (it's actually pretty good, it's more like 1 having a superb written story for a superhero game), it's the most polished, fun and engrossing game out of the two. Gameplay is top notch, the characters are memorable, the final choice plot twist caught me by surprise, and exploring the city and unraveling all its sidequests and collectibles isn't boring or a drag: it actually encourages the player to do so without becoming monotone.

InFamous 2 is not only the best InFamous game, it's also one of Ps3's best exclusives overall. I'd say it's my favourite.



inFAMOUS 2 was more enjoyable for me than the original in terms of story and gameplay but the original was definitely a good start too.



First game had better story. Second game had better everything else.



Infamous 2, as many have said above me, beats the original in almost every way except story really.

I can't remember any of the stories but I remember that the gameplay in inFamous 2 a massive step up from the first. I didn't finish 2 though.



Number 2 perfected the gameplay, and when the story is rare moments here and there, the gameplay is vital, I will pick 2.



 

Infy 2 FTW.



I preferred the characters, gameplay, locales and style of the original over the sequel. Infamous 2 disappointed me in pretty much every manner while the original is one of my favorite games of last gen.

I much prefered #2. Especially in how much more meaningful the good/evil difference was.

I definitely agree the morality choices were more impactful in 2, but I also thought they were less interesting than those in the first Infamous. In Infamous, the line between "good" and "bad" was a little cloudy. It made those decisions more interesting for me. In Infamous 2, there is an obvious line between the high and low road, which made the moral choices less ambiguous, and thus less emotionally powerful.
