Never played 2, but the first InFamous was pretty cool. It was nice to get a superhero(or villain) game where you weren't playing as an established, spandex-clad Marvel or DC guy. Cole certainly had his own thing going on, the electrical powers were really satisfying, and the way you could get around the world was a lot of fun too. I think the only annoyance was how aggressive enemies were at a long, long distance, and that was getting easier to deal with as the game went on. Never got around to finishing it(don't own a PS3 anymore) but doing that all over again with a new, fire-based dude? Sounds good to me.
