Reviews VideoGame / In FAMOUS 2

Not my cup of tea.

Here are the openings to both inFamous games: Silent Melody, and Fade Away.

I listened to both of these songs and realized: I really enjoyed the first game, and almost entirely hated the second one. I tried to compare how the ending songs capitalized the experiences, and arrived at, "Silent Melody made me feel awesome about how dark and twisted the ending and plot were, while Fade Away made me depressed that the game was pretty much a wrap-up". (At least until Second Son was announced)

I enjoyed the gameplay of inFamous 2, even though the introduction of ice and fire powers felt unnecessary when they could've just expanded on the applications of lightning and electricity rather than half-assing ice and fire. But the story, characters, and setting made me angry. They'd set up a non-conventional superhero tale in inFamous 1 and scrapped it to tell a blander one in 2, with Cole fighting the Mutant Registration Act, Morlocks, meeting an anarchist who wants to be special and ultimately sacrificing himself for the perceived greater good. The city I'd fought so hard to save was obliterated. The character I'd respected was killed off. inFamous 1 ended and left me with questions and bewilderment. inFamous 2 ended with Porky Pig popping out of a circle waving to me and shouting, "That's all folks!"
