INFAMOUS 2 MISSIONS SERIES

The four example levels showed the variety of what is possible with the tools, and we're promised that players can create something very solid in a matter of minutes. In another, we had to disarm a bomb before it went off. In another mission, we guided a tank of propane to enemies standing on floating platforms to try to take them all down. In an amusing twist, the bad guys danced once they got past us, but we were still able to blow them apart. One level had the character standing on an overpass, using bolts of electricity to try to keep enemies from getting past. We were able to play a few such missions during our time with the game.

'This is definitely a matter of ' Now how much would you pay for it?'' Zimmerman said, when I expressed my pleasant surprise at this feature. We were able to speak with Chris Zimmerman, the development director of Sucker Punch, about this new feature. You'll be able to test drive this new feature sooner than you think, as a public beta is coming this April, and the best levels created during this beta will be available when the game is released on June 7 for the PlayStation 3.

Would they use those powers for good, or evil? The second game in the series looks like it will expand upon those ideas in many ways, and at the 2011 Game Developers Conference, Sucker Punch unveiled a huge selling point for the game: players will be able to create their own levels and share them with the world.
