The combat was actually the worst part of the game if you ask me. And the game wasn't free when it came out, so saying anyone's standards are too high for it is a little silly.
Anywho, I just got around to playing the demo for the second game. First I'll retract my statement about Cole climbing too slowly. Not sure why I had that in my head, but it has been a year since I played the original. My problem with climbing in that game was largely the very sensitive and frustrating inaccurate controls. And low and behold, those controls haven't improved at all in the demo. I'll give melee combat credit for being less of a pain in the add then before, but that was really the only change I even noticed. It really seemed like instead of spending the last two years tightening things up and really polishing the gameplay they decided to leave it largely unchanged on the controls front.
That may be fine for fans of the original, but the controls were one of my biggest gripes, with combat being up there as well. Neither has been improved nearly enough for my taste duo I doubt I'll keep up with the series. It's a shame since I liked the sly series and am a big enough fan of superheroes that I do want to like infamous more.
