Sucker Punch Productions

inFAMOUS Officially Launches Reviews Are Rolling In

inFAMOUS is now on store shelves, and the reviews are rolling in.  Also, the demo is available to everyone as a free download on PSN.  Thus far, everyone seems to think that the game was well worth the wait, with Joystiq calling it "the greatest superhero game I've ever played," and Marc Saltzman of USA Today deemed inFAMOUS an extraordinary PlayStation 3 exclusive writing, "The high-definition and destructible environments, smoothly animated characters, impressive lighting effects and graphic novel-style story sequences all help to create an extraordinary fictitious world." 

Associated Press states "Sucker Punch Productions started from scratch, creating an epic story that's not at all familiar. Without a back story to debate or previous editions to parallel, everything about "inFAMOUS" feels fresh. From the moment players first hit the start button, there's no reinvention, just imagination."  While 1UP proclaimed, "Simply put, inFAMOUS is the kind of game that when I'm not playing it, I'm constantly thinking about doing so."  Obviously, we're a little biased when it comes to inFAMOUS, which is why we've created this handy index of the reviews the game has received.  To read any of them, simply click the link.  We'll do our best to keep this list up-to-date.
