Erstes InFAMOUS Review vom OPM UK:
PROS / General Quotes :
- The ultimate superpower is given on the last stretch, which, depending how deep you go into the side missions, comes after a good ten or so hours of gameplay.
- The game´s not just a looker, it´s also structured really smartly, which sounds like a dull thing to be good at, but is actually crucial and brilliant.
- You start off with the basics, such as a simple ´lightning bolt´, draining electricity and climbing, REALLY good climbing. (They say later on it sometimes makes Uncharted and Assassin´s Creed look dull in terms of the climbing).
- It´s good in two ways: It´s super-powered, for one thing, so Cole can drop from any height without hurting himself, catch any ledge without finger-tip slipping, and scale just about any building (or giant industrial crane) in the city. And it´s also good because it FEELS brilliant, a lovely balance of speed, fluidity and looseness on the one hand, and path-finding challenge on the other.
- It´s basically a big win, moreish and addictive wish a ´one more, mission, one more power´ appeal that saw me complete the game twice over a four day weekend full of ruined bedtimes.
- The combat´s deep and spectacular, the climbing is slick and intuitive, and the story´s got enough depth behind the flashy hero/villain hook to fully merit that all-important second playthrough.
- There´s genuinely nothing else like InFamous on Ps3, and it slots in very nicely alongside the machine´s other big-name exclusives. People, we have another must-buy
CONS :
There are occasional frustrations when the game wants to lock you onto the wrong piece of scenery, but it´s a muscular and liberating experience that makes Assassin´s Creed seem clumsy and Prince of Persia feel like it´s running on autopilot.
Overall score: 9/10
