First one is great and I like its style more. Hopwever gameplay and story wise the sequel is superior in everything and to this day the best inFamous game of all time.

I liked the first one better, it had underground sections, the big tower, the container maze, the second one lacked a bit on these kind of setpieces.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

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 agree!

I love the original Infamous. The pacing and sense of progress was excellent. And I really enjoyed the underground platform sections.

The second one just didn't do it for me. The graphics are a huge improvement and the UGC is really cool, but it disappointed me in a number of ways. The characters appear less sympathetic, the story seems undercooked, the pacing is uneven, and the enemy encounters feel like a grind.



I got to stick with the original, it had a better story (good and evil). I also liked the first Cole and the more comic related artstyle of the first over the second. The enemies in the first one where also better as where the boss fights. The second one had more impressive powers though, and was still enjoyable enough.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

InFamous 2 is the better game imo. Love both, but the second one improved on all the aspects of the 1st one. Cole's character development was great and the supporting cast was much more interesting. Melee combat was more fun, also the new powers were great. The bad ending was one of my favorite endings last Gen and it still gets me when I play through it or here the music.

Overall both were amazing games though, got Plat on both and Second Son, but SS wasn't nearly as good.

Infamous 2 is better. It has better gameplay, graphics and open world. The original has a better story but that can't make up for the huge improvement in gameplay mechanics in Infamous 2.

I think Second Son is the best game in the series and Sucker Punch has improved by leaps and bounds with each game in the series.



The original inFAMOUS had the better story, but the sequel is better than the original in every other category.



Oh, one other thing: I really liked that Infamous 2 read my Infamous save file and gave me a few bonuses



InFamous 2 was abetter game for characters than all of the rest. Such a great game that made great use of the PS3's power. You could remaster that game today and it would still be beautiful on the PS4.

So overall: inFamous 2 > inFamous 1
