  inFAMOUS Demo Hands-On

  A word of advice: GIVE INFAMOUS A SPIN!

  I was teetering between inFAMOUS and Prototype. Both games look somewhat similar --- free-roaming city (like recent GTAs), mysterious super-power main character, parkour abilities. But after playing this inFAMOUS demo, knowing the developer's experience in free-roaming games (Sucker Punch is known for the awesome Sly Cooper games) and the Metacritic compilation of the early reviews, I am convinced that inFAMOUS is the one.

  As for the demo, it's a shockingly (*rimshot*) great demo. You get to play 4 missions. That's right, FOUR! This is the longest time I ever spent on a demo. You get to experience some of the earlier abilities that the main character has. You'll also see the different sides of the "morale system" (kinda like Jedi and Sith). All in all, I'm convinced. The graphics are tight. The controls are great (whatever you want to climb or crawl or whatever... the game detects it flawlessly). Camera play is great --- not a liability at all.

  5 minutes after putting down my PS3 controller, I preordered this hotness. If you're not convinced, check out some gameplay on youtube.

  PEACE!
