Perhaps what Sucker Punch should be commended for most, however, is the level of personality they’ve infused into their lead character. Even in this short demonstration, Cole conveys a sense of charisma key to the success of any comic book caper. inFamous is a dark, post-Batman Begins superhero affair, and the gravelly-voiced Cole seems an altogether appropriate and convincing fit. From calling an apparent ex-love interest “a piece of shit” to his indifference at being labelled a terrorist, Cole’s similarity with Watchmen’s Rorschach rather than a squeaky clean Clark Kent is both invigorating and exciting. Coupled with some astonishing comic book cutscenes and gameplay that looks set to rival even the best open world adventures out there, we’re chalking up inFamous as another PS3 must-have when it launches in a few weeks time.
