Forums - Sony - IGN gives InFamous a 9.2

Wow, thats a great score, I was expecting about a 8.9 but 9.2 is what I would have given it.

Reviewers are excited about many games in their previews but that does not mean that it is due to hype.

I just wanted to know what your reasoning was for saying that.

Umm....well that's basically my first post.  Considering super excitement for a game, can =, more of a excitement for game than review.  Doesn't happen often but it does happen even to the best of 'em.

I understand what you're saying but this game didn't nearly recieve as much hype as most other PS3 exclusives.

I guess that we will find out soon enough how good/bad this game really is though, only a couple of weeks away. I am more looking forward to some in depth user reviews.

Anyways, let me know what you think after you read it.

9.2, dood? NICE!



Well, looks like I'll be picking this up then. :D I still reckon about 8.7 on Metacritic, but I could be way off.



As expected, game is great.But then again ign gave Resistance 2 9.5 so I'm little scared..

 

9.5 Presentation
This city is alive and you'll feel like you're a critical part of it from start to finish. The easy to upgrade powers, story-expanding Dead Drops, and more wrap you up in the experience.
8.5 Graphics
The city looks great with its destroyed buildings and people dying in the streets. Cole's powers dazzle at times, but there is some pop-in, repetitive environments, and framerate dips.
8.5 Sound
The soundtrack is great, the ambient noise of the city makes you feel like you're there, and the sound effects are solid. Still, why is Cole's voice soooo gravely?
9.0 Gameplay
Cole's powers are stunning and fun, but the real joy is zipping around the city and unraveling the story. I could've gone for a few more enemy types and better Stunt explanations.
9.5 Lasting Appeal
It took me about 25 hours to go through both storylines, but I've put in a total of 30 hours searching for Blast Shards and my Platinum Trophy. All that, and this still isn't old.
9.2
Outstanding
OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

I played the demo and was really blown away, I did not pick up GTA due to it being "same old game play". I really like the powers he has (can hover, glide on power lines and train tracks etc) plus the enemies are pretty cool as well. I am looking very forward to this games release.



this game deserves all the hype it can get , I wish it gets good amount of TV ads.

 Yeah true it wasn't hyped a whole lot except internet really (even that wasn't a whole whole lot).  Watched the video review and it looks impressive, still gonna be a rent since sandbox isn't really my style (except GTA).  I'm sure anything lower than an 8 would be a crime :P (unless you really don't like the game I guess) :P.

 

If it recieved less than an 8 then somewhere within the review I would expect to find valid reasons why.

It isn't my type of game either but it looks very fun, much like Prototype, which also looks like a lot of fun.

If Killzone 2 shows the marketing skill of Sony then i wouldn't count on it. It's hype is also a lot smaller.

P.S:  Am i the only one who finds it looks a like Star Wars with the blue and red energy. A lot actually.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

I'll read there full review, see if the hype is what got to them or not.

 

This game wasn't incredibly hyped to begin with. How would you know if "hype got to them" anyways? Is that the case if the reviewer says positive things about it?

Just asking because whenever a PS3 game gets a high score we usual hear the same old song and dance.

I guess you didn't see the thread on here about IGN really excited about this game then, 'cause they were.  I didn't say I knew the "hype got to them" either, I said once I read their full review dude.

 


oh no... i see a slew of 'didn't live up to expectations' comments incoming. with comments like those and bad modding its no wonder i stopped coming here
