This was followed by one of the chase sequences that were so common in the first game. If the melee combat ends up being a large part of the game, let's hope that it gets a little deeper as you progress.
INFAMOUS 2 CHARACTERS SERIES
Simply mashing one button resulted in a series of impressive-looking attacks that easily cleared away all of the enemies. This scene provided the opportunity to test out Cole's new melee weapon, which was disappointingly simplistic. Whereas the first game had us fighting gang members who liked to wear trash bags, Infamous 2 put us up against foes that look like they were ripped straight from a Guillermo del Toro film, with blade-like limbs and twisted, vicious-looking faces. There was little set-up to the demo we were simply thrust into a battle sequence with one goal in mind: destroy all the swamp monsters. Though things still felt a little rough around the edges, Infamous 2 is a game that will let you wreak some real havoc if you want. But aside from getting a look at the main character's makeover, the demo also gave us a chance to play around with some of the new abilities set to be introduced in the sequel. He has been retooled once again, however, and our latest hands-on time demo with the game revealed a Cole who was sporting the shaved head, rough beard look that is just so uncommon in the gaming world. When we first checked in with Infamous 2 protagonist Cole back at E3, he was barely recognizable, sporting a brand new look that was quite different from the character introduced in the original Infamous.
