inFAMOUS Demo Impressions

The demo for inFAMOUS dropped a few short hours after I was mentioning it here as part of my summer list and I had a chance to play it a little bit this morning. So far it looks to be exactly what it's been billed as, a lot like Crackdown, but with more of a superhero feel to it. The powers were a lot of fun to use, your character has some great freedom of movement, feeling a bit like Spider-Man with his ability to stick to surfaces on the fly and quickly move in and out of situations.

The controls feel a bit wonky, I'm not sure if this is just a result of my general (and longstanding) discomfort with the Playstation Controller's layout and analog sticks, or if the controls themselves could just use some tightening. I suppose time will tell.

I'm definately looking forward to playing some more.
