Infamous sets its core on the premise of one thing: What would you do if you woke up and had superpowers? Would you go about life doing as you please, making sure no one would push you around or would you try to use those powers to help others and make things better? In the game there's good reason and good fun in doing BOTH! (though I highly recommend you chose one path at a time, you actually can go back and forth on good and bad with the karma system they've developed, but if it's your first time, I suggest picking one and going with it all the way through.)
You play as Cole, a bike messenger who awakens after an explosion tears through Empire City and is standing on the only area that seems untouched, somehow alive and, while wounded, wanting to get the heck to safety! As the game goes on (I won't spoil anything if I can help it), you can get more and more powers, upgrade them to be more dangerous or precise, and find new uses for them. Cole was already an urban explorer so he is very good at climbing and getting around, over and just going anywhere he needs in the city, and the controls are very good.
This game, again, is a MUST OWN in my book, but more than that, it has a very great method of pulling you in and letting you get away from things by simply letting you chose what you do as Cole. The sub-missions and sub-plots inside the game also make for some good fun that you can lose yourself into and I am happy to have this game be my first suggestion for those that would like to get away from it all by saying..."Go and get yourself quarantined in Empire City!"
Overall view:
Rent? If you don't own it, yes!
Own? If you can afford a game and even mildly like hero style games, this is one you'll want to own.
Personal Rating (out of 10): 9.6
