damn my parents and me being not 18.....

and i have a theory about how there are no PS3 flames

The fanboys dont give a flying fuck about teh InFamous comparison because they're too excited to shred the hell out of all of manhattan as Alex Mercer.
:D

9 for this. 7 for infamous. bullshit. and in comparison all you wright is maybe one is better. poor guys. show some site continuity.

Thnk you for giving this game a good review. You guys did it justice. Although Gametrailers also gave it an 8.6, this is the best review. IGN's is just pitiful. thank you!

i was able to play this game for about 2 and a half hours at a friends house and all i can say is its AMAZING. the graphics are top notch and the "imprcise controls" will be in the back of you mind if your not reviewing it like gamesradar (not that i dont like you guys, u guys are awesome!) the story is very imersive but nothing we havent seen before but it still a 10 in my book and the action is the best iv ever seen this game is very innotive (spell check GR?) with its disquise system and what not all i can say is this game derserves a 90 out of 5 and its worth for anybody to pick up just plain AWESOME

Played this game for about half an hour at GameCrazy. I really wish I could see what all of you see, but I just don't. At 30 minutes, I really didn't see why I needed to play it any longer than since the second 15 minutes was simply a repeat of the first.

Great review as always, I gave it a 7.5 though. Definitely liked it better than inFamous, but I think they could have had longer story cut-scenes. Everything is a 30 second conversation, reminds me of Bum reviews on Nestalgia critic's site.

Half the time Im wondering why I should care about a character and the other half Im trying to remember who the hell a character is. Its like if you blink you might miss that an intrigal character even exists until you're hunting them down. I think with a little more character developemnet this could have been one of the greatest games of all time, they certainly had the story, they just forgot to tell us what it was...

summary of IGN's review: "I can't do a cannonball because my fingers can't push two buttons at once and I wanted to, 7.5"

I love this game. I just bought it yesterday and I am loving every minute it is so hard to not stop and slice and dice pedestrians instead of going to the next mission.

I'm glad that Mikel didn't let the PS3 fanboys get to him and gave this game the score it deserves. I always trust Mikel with game reviews.

This game fuckin rocks, I do agree that the boss battles can be a bit hard(damn you elizabeth, damn you! >.8D

@ EvoAnubis:

Well of course you're not seeing what we see, you only played 30 minutes of it and last time I checked, video games weren't only half an hour long XD
LieutenantCipher  - 5 months 17 days ago 
dude wtf, it cut out the middle part of my comment :/ well either way I like killing civilians without consequences, morals are for n00bs - Prototype FTW! >8D

i absolutely LOVE this game. I bought it 3 days after it came out and it's all i play.

I think all games should look up to Prototype.
It's like an orgasim for my eyes to rush past huge skyscrapers. while I'm barely just pressing a trigger, It makes me feel like I'm doing so much more.

This game is amazing, just when I start getting bored of free roam, I find something new to do, then get enough EP to unlock a new power, and its a whole new game. Flying through Manhattan, ripping zombies and the military to shreds during the three way war, and hijacking tanks and helicopter alike and destroying some buildings, this game never stops to amuse me. Oh and I love turning into a soldier and blaming another soldier for being Alex Mercer, and watching his friends shoot him to Swiss Cheese, then calling an air strike and demolishing a military base and running faster than a car to escape the strike team and super soldiers after you.

BUY THIS GAME.
