InFamous 2

 InFamous 2 the Shocking sequel to the game that almost every PS3 owner has been looking forward to is here and it's great. The game opens with Cole leaving Empire City with Zeke, why are they leaving, to go fight The Beast. Yes the Beast is here, after your encounter Kessler, and him telling you his life story, you must go to New Marais to get new powers, and fight The Beast.
 Unfortunately the original voice for Cole will be replaced, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t fit him perfectly. The voice-overs were even better than the first. The new city of New Marais was based on New Orleans, so expect that there will be a big swamp, and just like the first game water can still harm you.
 The character design of Cole has seen a lot of changes over the years, but what character hasn't. Fans of the original Cole were sad to see what Sucker Punch came up with, a character that doesn’t even closely resemble the old Cole. But eventually it was changed back to an outfit that looked similar to Cole's original outfit. Even background characters and enemies have a new look with a more detailed crowd, and reaper foot soldiers will be replaced ten-foot swamp monsters and a militia set to "cleanse" the city, but that's not it there are actually new conduits who you can fight or befriend, that’s right "sane" conduits will be found to help you in your quest to fight The Beast, and an army of ice super soldiers in the next town over.
 Gameplay has been made a lot easier thanks to "the Amp", which is just a giant electrified Tuning Fork, but it still makes fighting monsters much easier. But the thing that makes the game truly easier is the powers. Unlike the first game there are no substations to turn on, and turning on cities doesn't give you knew powers, but instead you have to find things called Blast Cores, which are giant Blast Shards that give you new powers.
 The game has a new feature UGC (User Generated Content) which is mini missions made by players just like you. So that means you yourself can make one at any time. And if you get tired of seeing them, you can turn them off at any time.
 The game was amazing and you should add it to your list of games to get but not before you get the first game. I rate this game a 5 out of 5, because graphics, voice-overs, character designs, and environment are all great, and is a must have for all PlayStation 3 owners..
