Surgical masks, hot flowing magma or pachinko arcades.. hmm what caught my attention first.  I think it’s when I saw Ray Spheres shattered down to earth and breaking into shards, that I knew inFamous was going to be a great title that didn’t need help from the Uncharted 2 Multiplayer Beta to get attention.  Your choice to become a force to be reckoned with or the lovable noble hero of this metropolitan city is completely up to you.  Good or Bad, the choice is all yours…

Many are claiming inFamous is a mixture of Spiderman: Web of Shadows and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed in a Grand theft Auto world and with good reason.  The similarities of jumping atop building to building, hanging from ledges or the fact that you wield a force like electrical power through your body can contribute to the comparisons.  But instead of playing the role of Peter Parker or The Apprentice, you play Cole in Sucker Punch’s first title for the PS3, inFamous.  The story begins in Empire City, a city resembling NYC of course, which was struck by a cataclysmic blast that left civilians in survival mode with a plague spreading and the chaos surrounding ground zero.  The city is  quarantined and taken over by the gangs, most notably the Reapers.

With inFamous being released in less than a month, Sony has released a new trailer for the game in order to remind us that we indeed need this game.

The trailer shows Cole performing a number of moves to move around the world or to dispose of an enemy or two.  If you watch the trailer closely, you’ll notice that the movements Cole is making from scene to scene are linking together.  Whoever put this trailer together needs to get some kind of recognition.

Needless to say, between Cole’s electrical powers and the ever changing environment, this is going to be a game PS3 owners need to experience.
