Series description

The series follows the adventures of Cole MacGrath, a young man with electrical superpowers, who must decide his own destiny of becoming either good or evil. It is the first series created by Sucker Punch Productions for the PS3, and the third after Rocket: Robot on Wheels for the Nintendo 64 and the Sly Cooper series of games for the PlayStation 2 .
Gameplay in the inFamous series is primarily an action-adventure/platformer/open world type. Players control series protagonist, Cole MacGrath as he freely roams around the city, fighting crime or creating havoc, depending on the player's actions. Cole can use his parkour skills to jump and climb buildings throughout the city, along with his electricity-based powers to help him fight enemies. His powers come from a gauge which depletes whenever Cole uses various electric attacks, and refills when Cole absorbs electricity from nearby electrical sources and conductors.
Morality, known in-game as Karma, is a major factor in the gameplay and storyline. Players are able to control the course of the game by having Cole use his powers for good or evil. The choice allows players to have a different mixture of abilities, as both good and evil have their own set of powers. The game also uses a Karma meter which changes based on Cole's actions throughout the game and determines whether he eventually becomes a good or evil character.
