inFAMOUS

Shockingly Aggravating

Platform: PS3
Completion: Platinum
Graphics: Decent
Sound: Great
Story: Great
Bugs: Many
Frustration: EXTREME
Replay Value: Low
Verdict: Rental

inFAMOUS is a great game ruined by game flaws and bugs. One second you will be enjoying the game, which should be excellent, the next you want to smash your controller.

Getting the Platinum is a real pain for this game and imho required for a actual review. Bad climbing, annoying ai, aggravating missions and fights just ruin the game. The enemy's try to shoot at you through buildings with unlimited ammo and accuracy and will run screaming around chasing you even if you are not close by. The radar doesn't even show things close enough to be much use in combat. Dying and failing rarely feel like its the players fault, but the game does help by not making you redo everything when you do (huge plus).

Overall the game is great and is worth playing both ways, but its one of those games that make rentals, used games and piracy important.

Rent it or buy it bargain used, then play the sequel.
