I was screaming at the TV as Cole would hug a lamppost while being pelted with bullets. The climbing mechanic often worked against me however, much like in Assassin's Creed where you’re trying to drop to the ground, move forward or do something other than climbing and Cole just latches onto things. The climbing mechanic in this game is not bad, not too frustrating, just a tedious bother. The game comprises of 3 islands much like Grand Theft Auto but there’s not really much about them that sets them apart from each other, all 3 are just New York style environments. You can however complete side missions to get rid of the enemies out a certain area but I’d find myself still coming across them in areas which I had cleared.
InFamous is an “open world” game however you can never sit back and relax enough to explore as you’re constantly being shot at by enemies. Due to this I just ended up running on the ground from one point to the next, ultimately taking longer but I just could not be bothered climbing a building. What you’re meant to do is travel from one marker to the next using electrical lines but I found it very frustrating to climb a building to start travelling rather than just starting fast-paced travel from ground level. The travelling around in this game is something I found very annoying. A person with super powers jumping about a city, fighting villains, while using the city’s infrastructure to travel at pace. The gameplay of inFamous feels very much like the precursor to Spider-Man on the PS4. If I’m not mistaken, Moya Jones the FBI agent was introduced in a very short “so now there’s this FBI agent….” and that’s it? It was a very abrupt and short way of introducing a main character. I wasn’t a massive fan of the comic book style cutscenes but I realise there are going to be a lot of people who are so into it that’s just a personal preference. Zeke, Cole’s friend’s running animation was absolutely bonkers but I’m putting this down to “this animation is of its time”. Right off the bat I thought the movement of Cole was actually too fast in comparison to other games such as Fable II which I had just played prior. Among my small collection of PS3 exclusives was inFamous so I thought it was about time to give it a go. After excitedly buying a PS3 Slim last year I thought it was about time to play something on it.
