I guess I will be picking up three games at the InFamous launch with my PS4 in Feburary. This video has got me hyped not only for the character and gameplay but the overall story. Its like a pixar story.

What about the story do you like? And what about the gameplay do you like?

Well the trolls seem to have made off with some kind of device and you're on a journey to get it from them from the video. Knack has various powers that seem to change depending on his form. He also needs it to get through certain areas in his smallest form or invisible even. Theres an ice level where you use ice powers taking from the environment. That seems to be his power to gather power from his surroundings. The game takes many shapes. Even though its linear, I will be free to destroy the way I see fit. Even more so than crash. People forget that crash was a linear game as well. 

so is it a beat'em up with like navigating traps? Do you know how linear it is? I mean yeah there's walls but do you get to retraverse? If there's retraversal i may like it.
