Famously fun, but misses the mark on weak good vs evil morality Infamous: Second Son is an important game for the PS4. It's effectively the first exclusive title to come out for the system post-launch.

Sucker Punch’s first game on the PS4 is filled with a lot of fun moments even though the story itself is a little on the light side.

Second Son looks incredible on the PS4 – so far I think it's one of the best games available to date. I guess I really started paying attention when one of the older characters had a close up and you could see the wrinkles on her face and it just looked so natural – then they go and contrast the realism with the new bright and shiny powers, plenty of upgrades and side missions, and a fairly decent story. My only complaints, without giving too much away, are that the scope of the moves is very limited, there are about five different special moves that just have a different look as you change your powers – and though the story is exciting at times and picks up towards the end, the main character Delsin is a bit bland, and they just kind of throw him into the thick of it without a strong backstory and the trope of helping a woman. That aside I still played it until the end and got a lot of time and enjoyment out of it, and you can always play it again and choose to be evil instead of good, with some pivotal points in the game put in your hands to decide.

InFamous: Second Son is the latest installment in the super powered action franchise featuring an all-new protagonist, Delsin Rowe, with all new powers, and set in a new city.

Infamous makes the jump to the new generation with a brand new character, but it may not be as good as the previous games. Find out why in our review.

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.

I couldn't care about the inFamous backstory, despite its status as a fan-favorite franchise among the Sony camp. I received inFamous and inFamous 2 either via PlayStation Plus or in an effort by Sony to make good on the PlayStation Network hacking attacks, and neither hooked me enough to see the...

Sometimes, it's arduous. At almost all times, it's underwhelming. The only innovation to be found is in its knack for being somehow less than the sum of its parts.
