im really hating inFamous (the underground water bits mostly but also how quickly you get killed even with reduced damage x3 and playing on EASY) at the moment - i was hoping this would be better :( REALLY?? i went through this on hard on my first playthrough and only got stuck on the final boss, i didnt feel the game was hard at all. Perhaps you are playing it with the wrong strategy? I usually find its easier to complete a mission by taking out the guys on the rooftops first and then wading in to the mobs below with a giant thunder punch :P |

Starting to wish I'd preordered the PC version instead of the 360 one, but I find games like this are often unplayable on a keyboard and mouse.
I need to get round to buying a wired 360 pad, since I still can't find PC drivers for the wireless ones via the usb lead. |

You need to take the fight to the rooftops in Infamous. Travel over the buildings and only on the ground when absolutely necessary. It's too easy to get killed without seeing who the heck is shooting you if you travel on the roads. When you get the ability, use the wires strung between buildings to both travel and charge up your health. Use static trusters to glide after you jump off the end of the wires and use the roofs to get to objectives. If you need to travel by land use the grenades to kill foes in the vacinity. Don't wate time trying to zap them as it rarely works until you are upto zap strength 3. Suck juice from cars too as you can suck juice faster than the villains can shoot you to death. hope that helps you mate. |

I didnt actually find it that bad playing as Evil either although i thought the move set was inferior. For good guy i didnt actually purchase the regen ability until after i had finished the game and side quests to get my platinum so it was a non issue for me :P |

I'm not a PS3 owner. I don't live for whatever is coming up in a year or two's time. I look at things as they are NOW. Right NOW the gaming press are saying that on average Prototype is better than Infamous. |

Back up one second. DaemonB, being the retard that he is, flamebaited. I stated a simple fact in response. End of story. |

If by USB lead your referring to the USB plug and play charger, your shit out of luck. MS don't have a driver for it. You could always by a MS USB wireless dongle though http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbo...

'I'm still surprised people thought this was going to be anything more than above average.'
What Yoss said. Nothing in it made it seem worth any real amount of hype. |

"Farti... no m8, you are so cock sure of yourself... just admit you were fucking wrong LMFAO." Imperical evidence proves me right at this point in time. I'll accept your apology when you are ready. "/orders Infamous from Shopto." Is this supposed to hurt me? Are you so childish that you really think I will be insulted by that? One day you will grow up and realise you have wasted a large amount of time and energy to achieve absolutely nothing. It will be a sad day for you. |

@penhalion and zuljin and designerheadache
Thanks :) I guess i do spend too much time on the ground... Is energy tied into health then? As that would explain a lot...Im always using my sniper shot and 3 or 4 uses leaves me drained. Im 33% in and just done the shooting down spyplanes bit. so i have the grind ability :) |

No, I don't think health and enegy are tied in that respect, except when you recharge, both get topped up. I'm currently on my second play-through on Hard and evil, and if anything I'm finding it easier than medium and Easy. Not having to worry about collatoral damage makes things much more simple and destructive :) Also, Farti & Daemon, you're both as bad as each other, so give it a rest. Although Fart, the point stands that we should discuss Prototype's average when all its reviews are accounted for. |

No no, let's be fair. Surely it's far more important to spell the words correctly than it is to interpret what is being conveyed in those words. Surely the meaning, the very essence of the statement, in the grand scheme of things, is irrelevant. What really matters, right here, right now, is the LETTERS. Yes, the LETTERS are what we should focus on.... ...or maybe the punctuation. God the internet is full of such depressingly stupid people. I'd like a large number of idiots on this site to commit suicide. Right now if possible. |

@Sunyavadin - I don't understand your dilemna at all. All you need to do is use the Xbox 360 wireless controller with the plug 'n' play lead. The controller will continue to work wirelessly (assuming you have the excellent wireless adaptor) and will draw power from the USB port. Better still use the controller wirelessly as I do. If you don't have the wireless adaptor it can be bought from GAME or Amazon for around £12, a bargain considering how wonderfully it works with the PC, i.e. exactly the same as the Xbox 360.
I've had no issues using mine with the PC and there are an increasing number of games that support it by default these days so you don't even have to customise the controls like you used to with third-party controllers. |

7? As I suspected, then. I am not worried by any of its shortcomings bar the story, or lack thereof. I had hoped there'd be something more to it, more depth. Oh, well. A fun, brainless game. I've enjoyed Clive Barker's Jericho, I'll enjoy Prototype.

No no, let's be fair. Trolling dickheads like Farticus are the lowest form of wasting bandwidth on the Internet. "Say something worthwhile or shut the fuck up" would probably be best directed at him. |

@farticus
There is no doubt Infamous will get a higher rating on metacritic. This review isnt even on metacritic yet and will drag the average down. So will almost every upcoming review i believe. This has nothing to do with the fact that the 360 is easily the best console on the market. Choose your battles wisely and your credibility increases. |

The ps3 version currently has an average rating of 91. By ol' farty's inbred logic that makes the PS3 version the superior version!
The comments section, if anything, is entertaining...thats for sure. |

@El-Dev
"I know, on this very site someone confused Imperical with Empirical and misspelt braindead." My my, you must be a really clever guy El-Dev. REALLY clever. You are so clever that you can miss the point of an entire conversation, simply because a couple of letters were out of place. Bravo. What an incredibly endearing trait that is. I bet your 'friends' just love having their conversations interrupted because you, a pedant of the lowest order, hear an improper inflection in one of their words. Now be a good child, go away and think of something relevant to bring to the discussion. Preferably something a bit more interesting than spell checking because frankly that kind of pathetic petty behaviour makes the bile rise in my throat. |

beckyh:"The game looks like it is going to be a lesson in frustration in hell."
I think NG2 is a lesson inf frustration hell with extra helpings of spam on top. If it's anything like that I'll never get this. NG2 was just brutal. I bought it for a friend gave it a go and wept inside as I realised just how crap a gamer I'd become since being able to clock r-type and gynoug on 1 credit... I was looking forward to prototype but don't want to go through the emotional trauma of outrageous difficulty and spam based annihilation all over again. |

Uh-oh, farti isn't happy!! This won't end well. He'll throw a strop and call someone he doesn't agree with a cunt!!
Could someone tell him that this is a games discussion so there's no need to get angry or upset, it really isn't important in the grand scheme of things Thanks |

El-Dev is being very polite to you. Your language and agression do not warrant any politeness. |
