Has anyone played Infamous yet?

Just curious. It looks like an awesome game, but I prefer to read reviews before dropping $60 on a game. [RollEyes]

Hmm, haven't heard of it?

[Bear6360]

I'm not sure if it's a PS3 only game or not. I was just wondering. I didn't expect a ton of feedback on here anyways. :)

Ditto, never heard of it, so obviously haven't played it.[Tongue 2]

You are a regular guy who gets super powers (lightning based)...and I think you can choose to be a hero or villain. It's your standard 1st/3rd person action game. It looks really sweet.

I played the demo at Toy 'R Us last night. The game is really fun to play. Also, it's pretty easy to die. The first mission has a train with hostages. You take down the two terrorists, then you need to move the cars off the tracks so you can move the train out of the "danger zone" and unload the hostages. I used my electricity power to glide down off the top of a building, I neutralized the two threats, then I had to move the cars. I stood too close to them when I used my electric pulse power (or whatever it's called), and one of the cars slowly rolled onto my guy and killed me. Seems pretty lame, but that's what would have happened in real life. For a fiction game, they tried to make it life like as well. I only killed myself three times. ; )

The two minute video for the game makes it look wicked sweet, and the music is awesome!

One last thing, it's for PS3 only. Sorry XBOX guys (and Nintendo girls).

Here's the video I mentioned above - it's the coolest of the three:

Here is another cool video that explains the story somewhat:

Here is a third video that I found that's just fun to watch:

Enjoy! [Tongue 2]

P.S. I tried to embed the youtube code so you can watch the videos from this thread, but I couldn't get the embedded code to work correctly. [Hrm]

I purchased this game online. I was able to find it brand new on Amazon for $38 (it was $57 at Microgames and $59 and Worst Buy). Also, I downloaded the demo last night while I'm awaiting shipping. I can't wait!!

I played it for the first time on Wednesday! The demo lets you play a few levels, but you don't really need to work through the XP system to upgrade your powers. So far, I really enjoy playing it. It reminds me of the HULK game that was out on PS2. You run around in a city looking for things and electrocuting bad guys.
