| ROBOTECHHEAVEN said: STORY : was the one of the best i have played in a open-world game. I completely agree. the characters i thought were nicely done, they had a nice back ground story for each one. from the 1st scene in the game to the end the story the unfolds before u is well expressed, wether its through the main story or through the dead drops u have to find all over the city. wont say anything about the ending, but after beating the game i am excited for a sequel for sure. I am too! GRAPHICS : the characters are nicely animated (You know, the animations weren't bad during actual gameplay, but during some of the cutscenes they are just flat out terrible),the buildings and environment are all well done. the water looks very good and the special effects from cole are really good. when u play as a hero your lighting effects are white and red when u are playing as a bad guy. the character faces could of used some more work, cole and trish and zek , and others seemed alittle off. the enemies are ok, not much it seemed was put into them or the variety of them either. REPLAY VALUE : their are alot of side missions to do and gain experience u need to upgrade your abilities through the game. some of the missions are easy and dont require much effort and others might take u a few try's before u complete them. their are 32 dead drops in the game, they are these little satellite dishes on the roofs of the buildings , some of them are easy to see and others are hiding close to billboards,and around corners and in dark spots, so u will have to check closely when u are on rooftops, also listen for a noise ( scrambled noise, thats telling u a dish is near you ). u get 3 trophies for finding all of them. also their is 21 stunts for u to perform, 1 trophy at 10 stunts and another at 21 stunts ( at 10 is a bronze and at 21 is a silver ). he is a tip for everyone, when u get to a point where u have to make a karma decision wether u do something that makes u a hero or a villian in the main story, save 1st. then do the action and get the trophy and load your save and do the other action, that way u get both trophies without playing through the game a 2nd time. same for the ending in the game, thats something i didnt think of until after i beat the game, so if i want those trophies i have too play through a 2nd time, just thought i would save u guys some time, through a mistake i made. I would actually recommend playing through twice. Honestly, the story would feel rather disjointed if you did it that way, and that would ruin the effect of the story. Plus, InFamous is so great that you shouldn't have a problem playing through again (I've played through three times now, and I'm working on a fourth). also after u beat the game u can still play through the city and finish what ever side missions and dead drops u didnt find or finish when u beat the game. |
A decent review, but a bit short. I still feel like saving before an important choice and doing both trophies at the same time is a bad idea unless you're just a trophy whore (no offense to anyone! XD). Besides, if you want to get to see all of the evil and good powers, you'll have to play through twice anyway. Plus, you can always just breeze through the story missions the second time through.
Either way, I'd definitely recommend InFamous. It's such a fun game!
