Not only did such decisions have an impact on your present situation(s), they also impacted the future in your game. Rather than just hand you a set of powers and set you free in a world to do as you will without repercussions, the game added in not only the struggle(s) to develop your powers but also the moral and personal dilemmas that stemmed from their usage. There is something “special” to the inFAMOUS formula of a superhero video game. Here we are, nearly 2 years to the date of the first game’s release and inFAMOUS 2 has launched for Sony’s PS3. Considering the success of the first game, the idea of creating a sequel was pretty much a no-brainer. The game received praise from both critics and fans alike and has earned a spot as one of the PlayStation 3‘s best titles to date. The game was about more than just having powers but the struggle to understand those powers and to relate to a powerless world around you once you receive that “gift”. Instead of putting the player into the shoes of an already established super-persona such as Spider-Man or Superman, inFAMOUS chronicled the story of an ordinary man who became extraordinary. Superhero video games are / were nothing new, but inFAMOUS was different of game. That happened with Sucker Punch’s inFAMOUS back in 2009. It makes sense that a videogame which allows you to do just that, become more than a mere-human and become an actual superhero, would strike a chord with the masses. I have been there myself and I am sure may of you have too. For some reason I cannot explain, there is an inherent draw in every child’s imagination to be “super”. Let’s be perfectly honest, who hasn’t dreamed of being some sort of superhero at some time or another? I think that we all have everyone has tied a towel or blanket around their neck like a cape and take off running, just to feel the wind hit your face and blow the cape into the air, at some point in their childhood.
