Today we are reviewing inFamous the long awaited sandbox action game for the PlayStation 3. The game starts off with the main character Cole, who has just survived an explosion that demolished six blocks of Empire City causing him to gain superpowers in the process, and now local gangs are taking over the city and it is your job to find out what caused the explosion.

This unique sandbox game is all about choices, and there are a lot of them. Not only do you have multiple options in the main story path, but there are also even more choices when it comes to the side missions as well. The basic side missions range from protecting civilians to preventing gang wars. I have had just as much fun from the side missions as I have with the main story missions.

Another choice presented to you early in the game is whether or not you are good or evil. During the game the player will be presented with a choice whether to use your powers for good or for evil. To help influence the character’s good and evil karma level the player can also choose good or evil specific side missions. There are also various “karma moments” in the main story that develop whether you choose to be good of evil. Depending on how you play the game the environment also transforms with your karma level. If you choose to be good the city will eventually clean up and look like a regular city, or if you choose to be evil the city will eventually become run down and very ominous looking.

The graphics for the various buildings and overall city design are very well done; the character models look amazing as well. Overall inFamous is a very good game it has a great story and great gameplay the only issues I have seen with the game is slight pop-in during gameplay.

Pros (+):
- Great story and graphics
- Smooth gameplay and easy controls
- Lots of mission variety

Cons (-):
- Slight pop-in during gameplay
- Same type of enemies for each gang, just different skins
- No multi-player

Overall:
I give this game a 4/5 due to lack of enemy variety and no multi-player, this game has moderate to high replay value.
