Playing out random events are fun for a while, but one thing that annoyed me was that one of these events (a random bomb placed on the street) would start whether I wanted it to or not. Players can build up their good karma by healing wounded citizens, stopping muggings, and defusing bombs or boost their evil karma by murdering protestors, hindering the police, and beating up street performers.
The random events are also dictated by good or evil choices. Some of these side missions, though, may be closed off, depending on Cole’s Karma ranking. New Marais is a wide-open world of opportunity, filled with side missions and random events. This aspect alone makes the game worth playing more than once, just to see the difference between Cole’s ice-based or fire-based powers. Siding with Nix or Kuo will also determine the progression of Cole’s electricity-based powers, either turning him into a frozen force of good or a pyro-kinetic badass of evil. These choices end up affecting more than just the narrative. The player must then decide who to side with and that choice affects their Karma ranking. At several points in the game, cutscenes will play out the dichotomy between the compassionate Kuo, who wants to minimize collateral damage and help as many people as possible, and the chaotic Nix, who wants to wreak as much havoc as possible, consequences be damned. Much like the first game, the big draw to Infamous 2 is player morality (displayed as the game’s Karma ranking) and the way Cole’s decisions ultimately shape the narrative. For the most part they are there to help move the narrative forward. They only occasionally factor into the playable missions, though. He’ll have the help of his allies Zeke and NSA agent Lucy Kuo, along with a fire-based conduit he meets along the way named Nix. Wolfe, stop the militia, and quell a sudden uprising of mutants from the nearby swamp before stopping The Beast, once and for all. Bertrand has the entire town on lockdown and a heavily-armed militia backing his every move. Sebastian Wolfe in New Marais, but Cole runs into heavy opposition from a southern politico named Joseph Bertrand III. The only hope of stopping the rampaging monster lies in finding Dr. Empire City has been completely decimated by a destructive force simply known as The Beast, whose coming was foretold in the first game. Taking place directly after the events of the first game, Infamous 2 once again puts players in control of Cole as he ventures out to the town of New Marais. With Empire City behind him, Cole now moves on to a new adventure in Infamous 2. Gamers not only watched the story of a bike messenger-turned-conduit unfold, but they made the tough decisions that turned him into a force for good or evil.
Two years ago Infamous introduced Cole MacGrath, Empire City's electricity-fueled champion-or villain depending how the game was played-to the world.
