Infamous 2

I am a big fan of the first game, and I've really enjoyed the second. It doesn't do any major overhauls; just improvements. I'm almost done with my first play through with collecting all of the blast shards, completing all of the side missions, and finishing off an important main boss. I decided the Good Karma path because of the demo. I liked how Cole's main lightning attack was a machine gun while holding down R1. There are some interesting attack ideas, but useless when facing more than 2-3 enemies. I do miss the sewer and timed racing missions. Also, there aren't any areas for the developers to show off some platforming like the garbage tower from the first game. Can't wait to finish to immediately start the Evil Karma path.

I finished the Good path a few days ago, and overall I came away from the game satisfied and found the Good End-Game and Ending well-done. There are some nice refinements on things from the first game, and overall this game is so much more polished. Judging by the Good path ending, Sucker Punch may be ready to be done with this franchise (honestly, there's not much they could really add to this franchise formula at this point), and if so the series ends on a high note.

I still have to play the game on Hard on the Evil path to get the Platinum, but for some reason I just don't feel like doing that for the time being.
