Interesting story, gonna guess PS3 game, likely trying to be a rival to Infamous. Story was interesting, albeit you could tell they were just pulling images and trying to sound serious. Gameplay, the combat was interesting, felt more like a Hulk smash game than some power person game trying to be like Infamous. Thats where things majorly diverge. With some figuring combat isn't too bad to figure out, albeit...it really is basically a Hulk game in that enemies will just continuously spawn to go at you, and of course lots of random missile guys that will ruin your hp and ability to do combat. They'll just spawn right behind you at times so that's fun. The game is one of those cheesy not super developed combat games. You begin to notice it as it gets more into the story. The story does intrigue you cause of course you want to know, at least, what the story of this game is to, like the main character, but...once you get to your first major boss fight you realize...the directors of this game thought "well adding more and more of the strongest enemies that become more and more difficult is the way to go." *Shakes head* Very smart, same logic as a bullet sponge = fantastic boss fight. You'll find this makes the game worse very quickly. The first boss fight makes for an invincible boss outside of when he tries to shoot at you, which, if you don't hit him before he shoots, or you cross his aim line, you can't hurt him and he can hurt you. Also if you cross his aim laser you automatically get shot for a good chunk of your hp. One of the stupidest boss fights I have ever fought.
It gets better though, as you enter a section where you lose your powers. Normally in these sections in games you may be challenged but you can use stealth or wits to achieve victory. In this game: nope. None of that. It expects you to do the same thing you always have EXCEPT: MORE ENEMIES! You remember that pattern the devs chose thinking "this makes the game better," yep.
Finally after finding my health being erased over and over within seconds, after refilling my health entirely (I literally had every upgrade in the game unlocked, so not exactly weak or little health, with 500,000+ points sitting), combined with being unable to get away at all to gain any health...I rage quit.
I will never play this game again and I regret buying both this and the sequel. If I learn the story I'll watch it on youtube. That's all these devs have earned from gamers
I can see some gamers like this game, and I'll be honest looking at the reviews its cause they played it at the time during that era. And...I'll be honest, I think it was just an at the time thing where gamers felt the urge to slog through it, cause that was the game style that was used. We can look back now being in 2026, but back then what was was. So it probably was exciting. I'll be honest though, I think gamers, for the most part, that are a fan of this game are only fans because they played it then. Cause looking at it now, seeing all the issues compared with all the other best titles of PS3 and later, it's a suck game in context. Interesting story, combat with potential, handled by devs that just threw things at you and thought you'd find that exciting and wonderful.
This falls to one of the lower ranks for PS3 era games. And yes, it is entirely an Infamous wannabe. You can tell in how it tries to do the story the same way, and mirrors Infamous.
I will likely never play this game again and honestly, I'm happy with that. Whilst I hate that Infamous seems like it'll never be brought to PC, I guess I'll pull out my PS3 and PS4 and play all the Infamous games now to wash out this bad taste
