All of whom end up becoming familiar to the player and you care about their fate. The story is surprisingly good and it builds upon the relationship between Zeke and Cole, as well as the new characters Kuo and Nix. Monsters also pop up in the city, so in addition to The Beast looming closer, Cole has to deal with Bertrand as well. At New Malais, he meets Bertrand, who is against people like Cole, otherwise known as conduits (i.e.

Cole was not powerful enough to defeat The Beast and travels to New Malais to gain more powers. It has arrived and proceeded to destroy Empire City, which kind of made the ending of the first game somewhat redundant (since you end up either being the protector or the dictator of the city and now it was all for moot). The story commences soon after the ending of the first game in which it teases Cole's nemesis, The Beast.

However, once unlocked, you need to fulfill certain conditions (such as defeating enemies a certain way a number of times) before you can use your XP to purchase it for use. Abilities will unlock as you complete sidequests and progress through the story. They're fun to use and there are variations such as picking up and hurling objects, various types of electricity blasts and grenades, and a new simple melee system which helps with close combat. Of course, there are plenty of new abilities that will gradually unlock over the course of the game. A neat thing is that it plays on Cole already being somewhat adept at his powers, so that a few of his abilities are now already available from the start such as Static Thrusters (hovering), electric grenades and shockwave. Cole himself has also been redesigned and his voice actor changed, which can take some time to get used to as his voice is not as gravely now.

Upon starting the game, you immediately notice an improvement in the graphics compared to the original. It is a superhero game in which the player controls Cole MacGrath, who wields the power of electricity. Infamous 2 is the sequel to Infamous, and exclusive to the PS3.
