I just finished my first playthrough of inFamous and decided to go the Evil route. I have not yet done the "Hero" route, so please do not post any spoilers for that.

- I chose Evil Karma the entire way through. So if you chose otherwise, I'm warning you that there may be spoilers here.

- WOW. Amazing story. Some VERY good twists at the end.

- Moya is lying. Zeke stabs you in the back. Trish dies. And Kessler IS Cole from the future. Kept me on the edge of my seat and it's no wonder why inFamous may be turned into a movie. Great writing.

- I loved the cities. The part that you start out in at the begginning is good, but the shanty-town ghetto with the Dust Heads really blew me away. It looks great and is designed perfectly.

- Another thing I really liked about the game is how it takes you through the different days and after you finished a certain amount of missions, Cole goes to sleep and then starts off new the next morning. It makes the game and city feel even more immersive. You feel like your playing Cole's life and story.

- This game reminds me more of Ratchet and Clank than any open-world sandbox game. It's really R&C in an open world setting. The shooting, the upgrading weapons/powers, the platforming. I think it's unfair for anyone to compare this to Crackdown or GTA.

- What is the deal with Sasha? I didn't really get that part. She's the leader of the Reapers and was messed up by the plague??? She's Cole ex-girlfriend and is obsessed with him. But she is alive and never dies in the game. Everything about her part confused me because I wasnt paying attention to her storyline at first.

- How do you find Evil Side Missions? I was only able to find one and therefore did not unlock that power which requires 5 evil side missions yet.

- Answer with a simple yes or no (because I dont want to read any spoilers)... is the story identical if I playthrough as "Hero" ??? A simple yes or no, please.

I forgot to add:

The story takes a lot from the classic tv show HEROES season 1.

-Explosion in large urban environment.
-The First Sons = The Company
-The whole idea of "giving" people powers through the raysphere is eerily similar to how in HEROES they give ppl powers through an injection.

I'm not knocking it. I loved HEROES first season and it was one of the highest rated shows back then. InFAMOUS was obviously inspired a lot from it as well.

1.) Did you play the good side missions ? If so then you will cancel out 1 evil mission per good mission played. If not the evil side missions should just be located on your map.

2.) No, it is not.

I've been playing through a second time as evil (I did the first time as a hero because I like to be the good guy) and it makes me feel like a horrible person. I feel so dirty when I'm sucking the energy out of someone, or forcing people to do my dirty work... But I need the trophies!

Since you haven't played the other half of the story, I won't go into specifics but I will say that I really enjoy the story. The karma moments are really a good part of the game and they really help you connect with Cole.

WARNING! The black box contains spoilers from the GOOD storyline! Don't read unless you've beaten the GOOD story!

I'm thinking of the part when you either have to save Trish or the 6 doctors. I chose to save the doctors. It was really sad when Trish died, but I felt a bit better after finding out that she did still love Cole...

Why would you feel horrible playing with Evil karma?

I found that the distinction between Good and Bad was a thin line. Alot of "evil" decisions aren't really that bad.

For example: Keeping for food yourself when you're the one who clibed up to get it, or giving the food to everyone and possibly starving.

Hmmm... in a D Day situation where food is scarce, I think a lot of people IRL would choose to keep the food for themselves.

Well, I try to be a good guy. (in real life, obviously not when I'm playing with Evil karma. ^_^) I think that zapping people and keeping the food to myself is very selfish. If I have to go a little hungry to help other people, I'd rather do that. Granted, I don't know what I'd actually do in that situation, but I don't think I could bring myself to hurt anyone to get food. 

I also feel bad just sucking the life out of people. There's this person lying on the street, dying, and I can help them. But I suck the life out of them. I'm not saying it isn't fun, because it is, but I just feel bad about some of the things I have to do.

EDIT: I should say that I love the powers. They look really cool, and I love causing lots of explosions. XD

From what I read from you, it seems like it's exactly the same.

I played purely good, and baisicly SPOILERS

Kessler, I'm guessing, was trying to be pure evil and become hated by Cole, so that Cole will do the opposite of what Kessler did, which is not act on emotion and act for the common good.

So I ended up losing everything I had, and became the perfect hero. Ruthless, unfeeling, and utilitarian. It's kind of tragic for Cole, one way or another.

I'm gonna give inFamous a good break, and play the U2 beta when it comes out, and catch up with other games. Then I'll go for all the good powers, and then I'll play evil.

insomniac, im actually doing the same thing you did, I felt the same way, I felt like an asshole because Cole had become... an asshole...

But after being about 5 hours in to the evil campaign imo you just begin to get numb to it and your just like "Eh whatever".

I now enjoy running around and blowing shit up like a crazy bastard hahaha, much as it seems you do too.

Cole doesnt become an asshole, he just chooses to take care of himself first, instead of saving complete strangers.

No... he def does... play farther into the game as evil, especially the end... and he becomes a total asshole. lol
