This.
The first Infamous was okay, but I thought it received some pretty overrated scores. Cole was so slow, his skillset was fairly limited throughout the game. the enemies regardless which area you were in were the same enemies, and the city in all three districts were mostly the same.
In Infamous 2 however, first thing you'll notice is how much quicker Cole is than on the first game. That alone really makes all the difference, even if you couldn't use a large array of new powers, the movement and how they sped up traversal made it more enjoyable to play. I wouldn't have thouught it would have made the game more enjoyable though if I didn't play it myself. Cole in Infamous 2 got a large variety of powers so if you didn't like one skill, you could always switch it to another that you did like to use. There are a lot more different enemy types than just random enemies with guns or the lightning, summoner, and large guy with gun conduits you rarely ever fought. The only difference in the enemies in the first game was that they got more HP. Infamous 2 actually had multiple different enemy types and several different enemies of those types. The enemies with guns make a return, but then there are the monsters, and the ice enemies and each one had several different versions. Depending on your location, the city in each of the three areas were vastly different, but within each of those areas, there are a lot of unique areas as well. The second area in the game is both flood town and the train yard for example, and the first area and third area had several parts that were very different from other areas. Also the second game also had better missions, better side missions, etc. Overall a much better game overall.
The only thing I think the first game had over the second was the story. The story in the first one was better, and that was only because of the ending. If you played the second one first, the ending may not have been that good.
