Another review, the website is not in english though.

Verdict Translated:

"inFAMOUS 2 is a compelling game with improved and pretty graphics plus a perfect control system that is greatly integrated with the entertaining gameplay. It's a pity that the game lacks the perfect balance between action and platform sections like the first chapter and that it looks like Sucker Punch didn't put the same attention on the game design like we have would expected."

8.8/10

Wesrcks13

wait...what? if anything, inFamous is a bit repetitive and they said in inFamous 2 they've changed everything for the better.

action and platform sections? the whole inFamous 2 map is a platform in of itself.

[QUOTE="adamlovesu"][QUOTE="rumbalumba"]

pros:

"Lots to do"

ROFL. what's with IGN and their use of "lots".

anyways, the graphics are at least a 9.0. i mean, it's an open-world game. lackluster melee? it's not a melee game like DMC or GoW, you know.

rumbalumba

But they try to emphasize on melee with a new melee weapon so yes if sucker punch is trying to enhance the melee Colin is going to comment on it if it's Not amazing. You haven't seen the graphics yet, none of us have.

they're not emphasizing on melee. they just added a weapon and some animations because the first inFamous the melee wasn't that great. it's there to make beating up people/monsters look great. if they were emphasizing on melee, they would have added something else besides a 'press Triangle when the combo meter is full' option. the fact is, they don't. what they're emphasizing on are the powers, not melee. it was just there to beat people up, not to produce combos like Bayonetta.

maybe i should comment on Mass Effect's lame melee system as well? even if melee is not what the game is about. it's like saying 'the magic mechanics in GoW is lackluster' when in fact it's a melee game to begin with. see what i did there?

also, the graphics are great. best graphics on an open-world console game no doubt.

Funny because mass effect 3 is doing exactly what infamous 2 is doing . Emphasizing on melee by creating a class about it. Sucker punch has said themselvesnthat actually want melee to be effective in this game so their emphasizing it itsnclear you have no ideanwhat it's like to make a game people won't hate. Why would they changenthe controls for a single mechanic? Instead they emphasize upon it by adding new melee moves and a weapon( which is also upgradeable) see what I did there? And no sir red dead has a map nearly twice the size of infamous and keeps it's graphical wonder. As does crysis 2.your logic behind melee is false at every turn ... In your logic you say it's there too look good if it was why would the dev themselves say they want to expand upon melee systems and make people actually want to melee including a weapon , moves and the ability to upgrade all of them.

[QUOTE="rumbalumba"]

[QUOTE="mD-"]

They don't really go into detail about enemy types. For an open world game, graphics should be at least a 9.0. Red Dead Redemption is basically a 10 for open world graphics..

UGC is definitely going to a bigger feature of the game than he's suggesting since he doesn't talk about it much. He doesn't mention the new variety of powers or traversal moves. Basically this review was pointless, lol.

PAL360

psh. Red Dead was buggy, glitchy, and had a ton of framerate dips. in screenshots it looked great, but in motion it did not. graphics was an 8. inFamous 2 looks and runs much better than Red Dead. graphics isn't just about what looks pretty, but also how well it runs.

Cant tell about InFamous 2 yet but RDR graphically is incredible, especially in motion.

Hands down a graphical marvel for rockstar to make suc a wide open world and still manage to have the game look as it does.

Exactly. The amp isn't meant to take over from the powers or have an in depth controls system, it's just meant to look COOL. It's sort of like in Assassin's Creed (except less in depth than that). Sure it makes combat ridiculously easy, it's not very sophisticated and it's extremely hard to die, but it makes you look BAD ASS, and that's all that matters.

I like Infamous 1... but I'm quite sick with all these Shepard look-alikes. Was disappointed when they reverted back to the shaved head hero.

Why does that even matter? You're getting the same game regardless of the boxart. Might as well go with the better looking one.

It's not that bad. It's just hard to imagine such a thing passing through layers of scrutiny. There was even an alternative version of the same picture that looked better, and they said "Nope, it's got to be this one."

Unfathomable.

Little worried about the 9 IGN score... since IGN tends to overrrate. But then again, they tend to underrate too... it's almost like they just don't get it. But then again, i'd say they are pretty brave since they're always the 1st review out.

9.0 @ GS, i'd be happy. Hoping for a 9.5 though... I'm pretty sure it will be if the story is amazing.

great thread, I'm hyping AAAe 9.5 and I'm betting either this, zelda skyward sword or uncharted 3 will be the game of the year. :)

theuncharted34
Nope skyrim or witcher 2. This game has **** graphics, and you can choose only 2 paths,which means no choices throughout the game. It's not a question of whether or not it will be goty, it is a question of whether it will suck or really suck.

Wait a minute... so 2 (long) paths isn't enough? :? And since when did graphics determite if a game sucked ot not?

It's not an RPG. 2 choices is plenty, Mr. PC gamer.

There's another review up for this game on Metacritic

Meristation gave it a 9/10 as well

so that's two 9/10s and an 8.8/10

Just over a week away from release! in Europe that is. I am 100% certain the game will get AAA on GS, I think 9.5 is very possible. I will get the game regardless of whatever it scores, definitely looks like a title I am going enjoy for months. Good thing the store is back online today, will download the demo later.

Kick the beast's ass.jman1553

i wanna say something but it might be spoiler-ish. ahahaha.

anyways, i loooove the game. best open-world game on consoles. what i love about it are the graphics and performance. i jsut love the colours. Empire City was like Killzone 2, very unpleasant in the colour deparment. i also love how smooth it runs.

what i really hate is how they removed recharging when grinding on rails. but it felt like cheating on the first game. ahaaha.

at least they did not remove the "spam a metal object with lightning bolts and then recharge from it" thing. :p
