Arstechnica game reviews are always great reads.

Arstechnica Review

The demo was good, and the full game is a powerful experience in what it is to be a hero, or a villain. With strong characters, beautiful graphics, and a good selection of things to do and see, this is one of the best open world titles in recent memory.

There is something about inFamous that's decidedly adult and satisfying, and not in the "OMG BOOBIES" way. This is a what-if story about a city with no hope and a man who has been taken out of his life to do something about it. An absolute must-buy.

The good

• Detailed, living city to help rebuild, or continue to destroy
• Brilliant writing and character work
• Fun superpowers
• Cut scenes set the mood of the game very well
• Much to do and explore, this isn't a game that will be over soon
• Be a hero, be a villain, it's your choice
• Fresh take on the genre, Cole is a unique and compelling hero
• Solid variety in missions

The bad

• The enemies can be repetitive
• Sewer sections are annoying
• Combat can get frustrating in places

The ugly

• We live in a world where dreck like X-Men Origins: Wolverine makes it onto the big screen, and something as good as inFamous is created in a medium barely respected for its storytelling

Verdict: Buy

D+Pad Review - 4.5/5

But you have to hand it to Sucker Punch. Irrespective of the game’s superb exploration and combat mechanics, it’s arguably the hardest part – the narrative - that’s the star of the show. inFamous is, after all, a comic book game first and foremost, and Sucker Punch has done a remarkable job in capturing the spirit and character required in both its hero and the world around him, beating even the ‘real’ comic book titles at their own game. It’s a euphoric example of tight, well-constructed narrative and strong game design, and ultimately a title that won’t only be remembered as the best superhero game to date, but also as one of the PS3’s finest moments.
