Typical, isn'tit. You wait years for a superhero-tinged open-world game and then twocome swinging from the rafters in tandem. Sony and Sucker Punchare pitting the launch of inFamous precariously close to that ofActivision's superficially similar Prototype, but from an extendedhands-on with the game it seems that Sucker Punch's game has the brainand brawn to win out in this particular comic-book duel.  
 
 

Cole's an intriguing lead, lizard-like in his movements.
Greg has already voiced his excitement for the game on numerous occasions,andhaving now witnessed inFamous first hand it's an enthusiasmwewhole-heartedly share – this is an action game with all thetrappingsof a top-tier first-party Sony title, and it's one of thefinestpropositions for the PlayStation 3forthe traditionally barren summer months. While Greg's previewshavenailed the details of inFamous, being able to play it from thecomfortof our own games room has allowed some of the finer points ofSuckerPunch's PlayStation 3 debut to sink in.  
 
Whilethe comparisons to Prototype will continue long after both gamesarereleased this summer, the most pertinent reference points lieelsewhere.Crackdown's an obvious one – the Empire City of inFamousshares theverticality of Realtime Worlds' Pacific City, and againscaling theheights proves one of the game's most thrilling pleasures.Greatsandbox games often deliver their best moments outside of thedemands ofthe main quest and inFamous looks no different in thisrespect, with thepull of exploration strengthened by the possibilitiesof Cole's uniqueabilities.
 

Cole's electrical powers are never short of spectacular.Roof-topexpeditionsare well served by some robust mechanics – no surprisegiven SuckerPunch's heritage with the Sly Cooper games – with the mainprotagonistCole proving suitably sticky when it comes to attachinghimself to thesides of buildings and propelling himself fromlampposts. While there'sa certain amount of auto alignment aidingCole's acrobatics, they dolittle to detract from the feeling ofvertigo engendered by teeteringatop some of the city's peaks.  
 
And what a city it is; EmpireCity is a teeming urban sprawl that findsitself rapidly slippingtowards dystopian chaos. Though the missionsavailable to us in theearly code are pulled from various parts ofCole's campaign, it's clearthat his surroundings reflect the storythey frame, with thebleached-out, sun-kissed city of the tutorialgiving way to forebodingdark skies and swelling storms later in thegame.  
 

Thedraw distance seems generous throughout.Indeed,it seems that EmpireCity also acts as a barometer of the player'scharacter, with an evilCole met with a metropolis that noticeablycowers at his presence. Avisualisation of the karma systemthatunderlies Cole's actions, it's just one level of feedback on whereourhero's heart lies: much like the anonymous hero of Fable, hismoralityis also played out on his skin, with the evil Cole we see atone pointheavily scarred with rippling red veins.  
 
Whether the moralitysystem is delivered organically or through binarychoices will beintegral to the success of the game's story, butunfortunately that'snot something we can ascertain from thescattershot selection ofmissions we've seen to date. It's certainlysetting its sights high,with the action prefaced by weighty citations:'The belief in asupernatural source of evil is not necessary' says oneparticularpassage pulled from the works of Conrad, 'men are quitecapable of everywickedness.' If Cole's player-determined voyage canlive up to SuckerPunch's literary allusions, it could be quite sometale.  
 

Itwouldn't be a superhero game without a helping of bosses.Cole'sstory isimpeccably presented, as stylised animated cut-scenes segueharmoniouslywith the action. Details are scant and our time with thecode raisedmore questions than answers as we were rapidly transportedbetweendisparate parts of Cole's chronicle, but the few crumbs thrownour waysuggest a game that's thick on intrigue and leans heavily uponits comicbook inspirations. Thankfully, our look at the full pictureis drawingever closer – expect a full review in the not too distantfuture.
