Both games are good and both do things well. I do prefer being a bad ass hero or villain with super powers a la infamous second son but am playing sunset iverdrive and am enjoying that a lot too. Can't go wrong with either game. I've seen the hardcore lemmings come out of the wood work tonight claiming sunset is better but I doubt they own a ps4. You know who you are.

Exactly. I could never understand why people feel the need to subjugate themselves to a specific gaming console and kneel before Sony or Microsoft's simply because it happens to be the platform they purchased. It's so childish and anyone over the age of 10 acting in such a manner should be embarrassed. That being said, I agree both games are good. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Infamous is a little more controlled and linear while SSOD is pure mayhem and more non-linear. Having played both, I can't say that either is "better" or more fun because there are certain things I liked about one that I may not have like as much in the other. For instance, I like the character customization in SSOD better but find the amp and overdrive system to be unnecessarily obfuscated compared to the more straightforward shard upgrades in Infamous. The humor and jokes in SSOD are much funnier than the painfully corny attempts in infamous. As far as action, SSOD is pretty much a nonstop frenetic pace. Infamous sometimes gives you opportunities to plan a more strategic attack whereas, you pretty much have to constantly stay moving and shooting in SSOD to survive. Both worlds are vast and fun to explore. SSOD's world seems more colorful and fun than the mostly dreary city of Seattle in Infamous. However, particle effects, such as smoke, sunsets, neon, water and fire are much better rendered in Infamous. Fact is, Infamous is the best looking game graphically that I've seen on either system to date. If you mean fun in a lighthearted jokey kind of way, then SSOD is definitely more fun than the sometimes depressing tone of infamous.

Both games do have the same annoying flaw... a nasally sounding protagonist. Even when I created a hulking olive skinned dreadlocked character in SSOD, he still had the same annoying high-pitched voice.

So like the other unbiased person said, you can't go wrong with either. If you have both consoles, both games are worth a look.
