In order for Cole to use his powers, he must have stored electrical power, represented by a node meter on the player's heads up display (HUD). Infamous is an action-adventure game set in an open world environment and played from a third-person perspective where the player controls Cole and primarily interacts with the world of Empire City through Cole's newly gained electricity-based powers these are used for movement, offense and defense in combat, and either for better or worse in dealing with the citizens of Empire City. The player can use Cole to extract electricity from nearby power sources for later use. The game was followed by a sequel, Infamous 2 in June 2011. The game was offered by Sony as a free download as part of their 'Welcome Back' program, after the 2011 PlayStation Network outage.
Infamous was compared to and contrasted with Prototype, a video game released the following month which had many elements similar to Infamous.
Reviewers commented on the repetitive nature of combat and enemies, limitations of the Karma system, and technical aspects in the graphical display. It was praised for many of its elements, including the implementation of Cole's powers and climbing ability, and the game's mission structure. The game was well received by the gaming press. Amon Tobin was among the artists that helped to compile its soundtrack, which aimed to reflect the environment. The desolate urban atmosphere was inspired by comics such as DMZ and Batman: No Man's Land.
The game's pacing in the introduction of new super powers and ease of movement about the city by unconventional means were critical factors during development. Sucker Punch developed Infamous as a change of pace from their earlier Sly Cooper series of stealth-based games, but using a similar comic book-inspired origin story to help the player become more connected with Cole. These choices ultimately affect character growth, the reaction of the city's populace towards Cole, and finer elements of gameplay and the story. Though the game's story follows Cole using his new abilities to restore some semblance of order to Empire City, the player is given several opportunities to use these powers for good or evil purposes in the game's Karma system. The explosion sends the city into chaos while Cole finds himself with new electricity-based super powers. In Infamous, the player controls the protagonist Cole MacGrath, a bike messenger caught in the center of an explosion that devastates several city blocks of the fictional Empire City. Infamous (stylized as inFAMOUS) is an action-adventure video game developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for PlayStation 3.
