The graphics are a great advert for the power of the PlayStation 4, but in terms of gameplay and story this hasn't moved on at all from the previous generation.

Amazing graphics and the core combat is enjoyable and pacy; with a wide range of customisable abilities – even if a lot of them are very similar in function

Underwritten story where the moral decisions have no weight in terms of both characters and gameplay; Repetitive structure and enemies, as well as boring side quests and boss battles

Announced during Sony's Playstation 4 reveal conference back in February 2013, Infamous Second Son was one of Sony's benchmark launch titles alongside Killzone Shadow Fall. Sadly, developer Sucker Punch decided a short delay was required and the game missed the Playstation 4 launch last November,...

Stunning graphics; solid voice acting; fun gameplay and boss battles

Side missions are mundane; player choices could of had more depth

An action adventure game where surrounded by a society that fears them, superhumans are ruthlessly hunted down and caged by the Department of Unified Protection. Step into a locked-down Seattle as Delsin Rowe, who has recently discovered his superhuman power and is now capable of fighting back...

The main character from Infamous: Second Son , a superhuman being labeled in this universe as a "Conduit," has the ability to absorb the powers of other Conduits and use them for his own means. Sadly, he never unearths the ability to get the game running at 60 frames per second.

A good game overall.The graphics and attention to detail stand out,the combat system feels great too.The storyline is ok but could've been a little less straightforward. The only thing which disappointed me is the moral choice system.Once you chose a path,you just have to go along with it.No real...

Seattle is terrifically realised as the game's main playground. If nothing else, Sucker Punch use the PS4's grunt to build a richly detailed and vibrantly coloured facsimile of their own hometown.

Abigail "Fetch" Walker is a cosmopolite Conduit, capturing the eccentric beauty of neon absorption and using it to form beaming displays particle bedazzlement. She is free, pushed from society's stringent regulation due to her enriched differences, keeping solace in a makeshift home between elevated...

Every kid dreams of having superpowers. Hell, when I was five years old, I tucked a blanket into the back of my shirt, stood in the doorway to my parents' basement, yelled "I'm Superman!" and threw myself down a flight of stairs. Turns out, I couldn't fly.

Fun story and interesting characters; The presentation is magnificent; Creative powers and abilities

Side content not well-developed; Gameplay isn't as 'next-gen' as the visuals; A bit short for an open-world game

Second Son sticks too close to the InFamous template, and skimps on the next-gen trimmings. There are flashes of excellence, but overall it feels a little too familiar.

Delsin Rowe (Troy Baker) adds life to the story; Combat is often challenging and strategic; Cool visual flourishes

The concept should aspire for more; Poor application of side-missions; Seattle is soulless

Announcing the third inFamous game at the unveiling of PlayStation 4 last year, director Nate Fox got political. He mentioned that he'd been tear-gassed in 1999's anti-globalisation riot, the Battle of Seattle (an event he's been invoking in interviews for a while ). He attacked the police.
