    I just finished inFamous last night as a Hero, and immediately started a new game for evil. What did you play it as your first play through?

    Btw, story is awesome, I needs to know more!

    I playing good right now, on the third island so I'm guessing I'm close to finishing. I can't wait to play evil though, the powers look badass.

    I find it difficult to make consciously hard decisions, so the first playthrough was good and trying to make my second playthrough evil is really difficult.

    I'm good as well on my first run. Just like suneku I'm no the third island as of last night and I'm eagerly waiting to start the game over as an evil character with a wallet that says BAD MOTHER FUCKER on it.

    When given the choice to play either good or evil, I usually go with good first, more so than anything for the plot. It usually seems like the story is better when you are a hero.

    I normally would be evil. I started both Fable II and Fallout 3 as an evil character. Something about this games just makes being evil actually make me feel bad on the inside. Just walking around the streets seeing everyone looking so pitiful, it just makes me want to help!

    It doesn't help that so far for me at least, the choices have been the "kill a baby / don't kill a baby" variety.

    Moral choices are fun, but so far I've seen no redeemable factor playing evil aside from more destructive powers. Which would be fun, if it wasn't the fact that everyone inhabiting the game is either diseased, dying, or dead.

    I went straight evil and I'm at the end of the second island. I never really got to go pure evil or pure good in a game with a morality system I always find myself breaking down at some point because one decision or another will screw you over in some way but in this you can just keep on trucking after deciding to let tons of innocents die like nothing ever happended because no one would dare stop you.

    beat it good and then evil.  Disappointed to find that the ending was the exact same no matter what you chose to be.  The only difference at the end was the ingame monologue thing after the credits.  The good/evil things, to me, felt very tacked on.  You got maybe 2 or 3 cutscenes that were altered slightly, the npcs act a differently towards you, your appearance is altered (not in a very interesting way), and that's it.  Dunno, that aspect could of been done a lot better IMO considering how much of a big deal they made of it.  "Save what is left or destroy it all".....

    That being said, I did enjoy the game tho for what it was.  After 2 play throughs I'm a bit surprised it got as high of scores as it did tho.  Maybe I only have myself to blame for tending to rush through games so quickly.  At least I got the Uncharted 2 beta to still look forward to.  Think I may trade this in towards FUEL if it ends up getting good reviews.  Don't think I wanna get Prototype since it will just be Infamous but with more explosions and blood plus different powers of course minus one of the kewl aspects of Infamous (the climbing).

    My plan was initially to be Evil but I couldn't do some of the things required to be Evil and it starts you off tilted toward Hero in the beginning.

    Evil here.  It's not difficult to travel the path evil, but does seem the story is driven more towards playing as good.

    Evil, although some of the main story missions shoe-horn you into doing the technical "good" choice. But I suppose since Cole is being manipulated he doesn't have a choice in the matter.

    Some things I like to do while playing as evil Cole:
    Kick the sick people, Leach random civilians, beat up anyone who talks trash about me, help people then beat them, Cause random multi car + civilian explosion rampage...etc.

    Good on the first playthrough, and now on the second evil, although after getting nearly all the shards (the rest is there for the next weekend ;-) ) I'm kind of over it. I will probably finish the evil part too, just for the trophies, but :-/

    Good. The choices in the game are pretty ridiculously one-sided. The only slightly tough one was

    my first (and only, i dont replay games usually) playthrough shall be as a good guy, as always in moral choice games. that, and since Alex is pretty much evil in Prototype which ill play after infamous, i might aswell go full goody 2 shoes in this one

    edit: although im loving Infamous atm, so i might have to break my rule of not replaying games

    I'm playing as a good guy, but Cole doesn't seem especially noble or kind despite my continued 'Good Karma' choices.  He's still rather abrupt to his friends.  But then Zeke is kind of a fool.  (I guess I'm just too used to Bioware-style 'I'm a good guy and I want to give my entire team group hugs at every opportunity and adopt all the orphans!'-style good characters.)

    I just got the game, and right now I'm playing through as evil. I really like the focus on careless destruction :). But anyway, what did you guys think was better? Good or evil?

    I think the intention of the developers was for you to play evil and go good, instead of what most people do play good and go evil.

    The first time I played I decided to give the food in the first mission to the people, but when they proceeded to start calling me names I said screw and went on to go through the first island evil. I only got to play the first island since I cancelled my GameFly account but now that I have bought the game I started over and have picked every evil option available. This is the first game I have even done an evil playthrough on though, every other game I have played as the good guy.
