I really enjoyed the first 2 Infamous games, how does Second Son compare? I havent played it but lost interest when Cole was no longer in the game. 

It's much more refined but far less interesting and stunted in scope by having checklists cluttered ontop each other with a feeling of minimal map progression, that said it can be fairly fun, especially the core powers. I'd skip it and juat play First light which is a condensed form of it, only loosing a some of the best powers in the series but releasing that stunted progression feel and clutter. Also, but characters are shit so don't go into it hoping for good characters, I didn't like cole either though so, eh, you come away with a different take on them.

I'd say Second Son is less interesting story wise, but more fun in terms of gameplay.
They also did some really cool things with tying visuals into gameplay. Here's an example.

It's hard to tell from this gif, but draining neon signs to recharge the neon power looks really good.

As did a lot of things with this power.

And it's not even my favorite power in the game. But that one wasn't shown in any trailers I think, so I won't show it here.

Thanks for your input John2290 and Hiku!  I think I'll give this a try since it was free for PS Plus and will have to look into First Light.  Those are some cool visuals, seems like they got more creative on how they did with the powers.

Still wish they kept Cole and better yet continued with the evil ending of Infamous 2 that I must preferred lol
