Hmmm, Ign (uk) gives them a 9. Here are the scores from the site.

9.0 Presentation

The comic book art blends with the game world effortlessly, helping create a style that's one of the game's biggest triumphs.

8.0 Graphics

Cole's animations and powers impress, as does Empire City, but an inconsistent frame rate occasionally spoils the party.

8.0 Sound

The subsonic roar of an electricity bolt is excellent on the right set-up, and the score is fitting, if a little anonymous.

9.0 Gameplay

No game gives quite the sense of power that Infamous does, and its backed up by some supreme platforming.

8.0 Lasting Appeal

Once the story concludes, the city remains open for exploration - and there's enough diversions to keep players going beyond the campaign's liberal running time.

9.0

Outstanding OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)


You know, i always found it strange that you can have a 9 with three 8 scores. How do they calculate this?
