IGN: InFamous Hands-On

IGN: "Infamous is awesome. Period. End of statement. I know a lot of times we at IGN get railed on for over-hyping games — we tell you a game looks great during the preview period but then crap on it when review time comes — but I’m willing to put my reputation on the line right now and tell you I can’t see that happening with this game.

Infamous is a blast, and you’re going to need to buy it come spring.

Infamous was already one of my most anticipated games of 2009, but this hands-on has propelled it to the top of that list. Since Spider-Man 2, I’ve been waiting for a developer to capitalize on the formula that combines an open-world adventure with kickass comic book storytelling. Although my taste was way too brief — I have no idea how side missions will play out, how smart the NPCs on the street are, etc. — Infamous did nothing but impress when I played it. If you dig superhero stories or the idea of a good guy in GTA gets you all warm and fuzzy, it’s going to be a very, very good spring."
