I rented Infamous for the weekend and in 2.5 days I've beaten it on hard as a hero. Now I have to roam around the city trying to find the few enemies still roaming around because I still need about 1,000 xp so I can buy the last 'good' power upgrade... ugh....
Anyway, I enjoyed the game. Sometimes the platforming can be annoying in that there will be times where wont grab something or he'll try to grab the object that you wanted him to grab, but it's quite easy to hop around the city. The same thing goes for combat and I really enjoyed the good powers. Your regular lightning attack is awesome when maxed because headshots give you health and a chain of lightning will shoot out from the enemy to hurt others, but your energy also replenishes. When you face one of those huge metal conduit guys, you can spam the hell out of the megawatt hammer or the shock grenade and then refill your energy without letting up your offensive.
Again, I'm a little unsure about collecting all the blast shards (I ended up collecting 50% of them by the end of the story), but I'm going to play through the game again as an evil bastard and try and collect the other trophies before the sameness of sandbox gameplay wears me down.
