Meta-Review: Infamous

Here at The Electrical Outlet, we love ourselves some Infamous. After what was a horrible drought of Playstation 3 games, we're finally treated to some shockingly good gameplay wrapped in a fun Comic-style presentation. Here's what other (More distinquished) gaming media are saying about the game.

IGN(9.2/10) "Cole's powers are cool, the graphic novel cutscenes are stunning, the story is intriguing, and the city is alive."

Gametrailers (9/10) "Thanks to its fluid, genre-crossing gameplay and action-packed scenarios, inFAMOUS has established itself as an electrifying new addition to the PS3library."

Eurogamer (7/10) "There is more charm to inFamous than Cole's face and voice suggest, but basking in the glow of the end credits, there are also a lot of painful memories to recall; of too many missions that funnel you into shooting galleries, of difficulty spikes and enemy-spamming, and of staring at the upgrades page rather glumly, aware that for the most part you're only being invited to make things strike harder or across a broader range."


Games Radar (7/10) "InFamous shows huge potential, but it’s ultimately held back from greatness by too-sticky controls and its surprisingly bland ruin of a city. It’s still fun, but there’s a lot of room for improvement in the strongly hinted-at sequel."


Remember, I posted an Infamous Review a while back. Look it up interwebz!
