After having played the demo for Sucker Punch's Infamous 2 several times (it is currently up on the Playstation store - gasp! It works now!), I have decided to create a guide to help those still on the fence trying to figure out whether or not to buy this game (warning: this may be biased by my undying love for people with superpowers). This is not a review - just added information for people still unsure.
Did you love the first game? If you did, then this game is absolutely for you. It sticks to its strengths and seems to have improved on most, if not all, of its weaknesses.
Do you love throwing cars like guided missiles? Honestly, who doesn't? But even though that is the only new power of Cole's shown during the demo, it is absolutely awesome and worth the price of admission. Melee has also been tuned up to actually be fun in this game (although I did love the kick-to-the-face backflip from the original).
Did you play the first game? Although the opening cutscene explains a lot of what happened in the previous game, if you still have yet to get around to playing the original, maybe you should get that first to get your feet wet (from a story standpoint - combat is fairly straightforward).
Do you like sandbox games? Games like Grand Theft Auto are "sandbox" games - games that allow you to explore the environment instead of guiding you from mission to mission. If that is not your type of game, then Infamous 2 will not be for you. For those of you who love them, myself included, you will enjoy this.
Do you have a soul? Well, do you? If you do, get this game. If not, get this game so you can suck the souls and life energy out of pedestrians and street performers (yeah - you can do that in the game).
If you answered "yes" to any and/or all of the above questions, then this game will be for you - look for my review of the game the week after E3!
