Whatever path you choose, most of the missions will be the same but their outcomes will be slightly different as a result of you decisions. As some you might know you can choose to be a good boy and follow the path of a hero or be naughty and eventually become infamous. GAMEPLAY: This is an area where Infamous excels, the game is just pure fun. Cole’s voice is rather deep though, we wonder if the voice actor he took his inspiration from Christian Bale’s Batman! The sound effects are also really well done, gotta love the sound of those huge explosions blaring through your 5.1 speakers! Oh and although some might not notice it, there are occasions when background music is played as you roam around the city, it’s quite subtle but certainly adds to the overall tone of the game. The voice overs for all the characters are not the greatest ever but they fit in with the whole comic book/superhero theme of the game. SOUND: The use of sound throughout the game is very good, nothing really feels out place. That said though, there are some really good effects and explosions, especially in terms of the electricity but hey, for a game based around that mechanic, you would expect that! Some minor negatives would include the occasional pop-in and frame-rate drops but that would be just mindless nitpicking. There is not a great amount of graphical detail around the world but everything just comes together so well. The city has the look (and feel) of a place that has been ravaged, the buildings are half destroyed, the streets are dirty and the civilians look scared. GRAPHICS: Visually Infamous isn’t the most stunning of games especially when you compare it to other “open world” games but it is by no means ugly either. Infamous is very much a story driven game and what a story it is, fantastic. The rest of the story is told through the in-game narrative and it is executed really well as it keeps the game flowing without any major interruptions. The main parts of the story are told via some brilliant comic book style cut-scenes, they are superb and really add a layer of slickness to the proceedings and suck you into the story. Each of the three boroughs that make up the city have been “taken over” by different gangs and it is down to Cole to bring them down whilst finding out what has happened to him. Anyway the government quarantines the entire city and basically all hell breaks lose. When he awakens he come to the realisation that he has mysteriously ended up with super powers, which are all electricity based. STORY: Infamous tells the story of Cole McGrath, a messenger who while on his way to deliver a package gets caught in the middle of a massive explosion.
