Story-wise? no-ones played inFAMOUS 2 yet so its hard to tell... But the ending of inFAMOUS 1 meant there was always going to be a sequel and inFAMOUS 2 looks like it will carry on the end part of the story. You should be able to pick it up cheap so why not?

Yeah you should pick it up if you're showing interest in Infamous 2 this long before it's release.

You should buy it for the sole fact it's a great game. It will probably be helpful with the story, but we won't know until Infamous 2 arrives.

You should get it, because it's a fantastic game that is now very affordable to buy. Do yourself a favour and pick it up.

I personally found the first game un-playable and crap, I still need to force my self to complete the game. I hope Infamous2 doesn't leave off where 1 does due to me not finishing 1 and I feel like giving sucker pawnch a 2nd chance to redeem them self to me.

The real question is will infamous 2 start off differently depending on the save file from the first infamous. In other words, will you be evil or good depending on which path you took in the first game.

difficult to say really, no one any real details about number 2 yet but judging by the ending of the first I would say its going to be essential reading ;-)

I would guess that it would just start you over on neutral, but I guess that'll be a "wait and see" kind of thing. And to the OP you should definitely play through the first Infamous. Not only will it lay out the story for you and everything, it will probably determine if you are interested in it and would play the second one. I'm guessing you can find the game rather cheap, and it shouldn't take too long to finish through. I forgot how long it is to playthrough it once... I'm guessing around 15 hours or so, depending on how many side quest you do and whatnot.

If you're intrigued by InF2 then the answer should be "yes." At any rate, your mindset shouldn't just be to buy InF1 because of your interest in InF2; you should want to buy InF1 because it's a good game and is truly worth the price it's currently selling for. And of course, you'll also pick up on the story before InF2's release... unless of course Sucker Punch alters a little more than Cole's voice and appearance (he's the main character in case you didn't know).

I'd suggest you do otherwise if you played inFAMOUS 2 first and wanted to try the original it would completely ruin the ending.

forget about the sequel... inFAMOUS is a fantastic game and that's all the reason you need to get it. not to mention it's cheap too.
