Infamous 2

Superheroes are usually born by chance or accident. In the case of Cole McGrath there was an explosion. Rather than kill him, they gave him the ability to manipulate electricity. In the form of lightning or energy grenades he drove his opponents from now one of fear and terror. And because it worked so well, many now expect the continuation of high voltage.

True sequel rather than a simple remake
Unlike most sequels to superhero titles players start in "Infamous 2" are no longer remain from scratch - all in the first part of the skills acquired and are available from the start. Cole McGrath has thus already at the beginning of something on the box. Yet he manages not to do a giant monster that threatens his home Empire City. In the attempt, he suffered a bitter defeat and sets itself the goal to become even more powerful and more - to put it then re-open with the adversary.

The story leads him to New Marais, a New Orleans-inspired city on the southern coast of the United States. The site of action is just as extensive as its predecessor. However, the developers promise more details and even more variety. For all around the city there are vast swamps and forests in which the military hunt for mutated forms power. Cole often gets caught in the crossfire. Because the army of his super powers do not trust and monster after all, what do monsters attack: everything and everyone.

The moral of the story
As in the first part, you have again the opportunity to behave in a good or bad. If you will help pedestrians, strengthens your reputation. As cold-blooded killer and fears do you fight you. Depending on how you choose, the action takes a different course, leading in extreme cases even to a different end.

Mutants and other villains to fight as usual with electricity. But there are new opportunities for attack: For the melee Cole has what looks like a miniature power pole. He put a loaded opponents blow. With the so-called kinetic Pulsangriff he throws cars through the air. In the end, Cole is even able to cause a huge storm, which puts everything in the wider area to rubble and ashes.

Speaking of: buildings, trees, poles, bridges and objects are destructible. An impact can be in a wall collapse it into itself. Thus the action looks realistic. Therefore, dedicated game developers Sucker Punch also an actor who recorded all the body movements of Cole before the camera. As in the first part still seemed unreal, should now come over perfectly.

Even with "Infamous 2" a completely successful superhero story is to be expected. Actor Cole McGrath learned in the course of action, many new methods to make electricity to the weapon. And whether true or villain as a good person - he can crack. The main thing he is at the end strong enough to defeat the giant monster. And mainly, you are at the end strong enough to lead him to this goal.
