Who doesn’t want superpowers? What if everyone hated you
because of those powers? Cole McGrath can relate to that in what is one of the
best exclusives for the Playstation 3. Cole can manipulate and generate
electricity, but this time around, he has super-powered friends to help him
out. Traveling to New Marai (which isn’t like New Orleans at all), he seeks to
amplify his powers in order to take part in a prophesized battle against The
Beast. Ominous enough for you?
As the story goes on, we learn that Cole’s powers are
growing, and that he can absorb parts of other powers to become stronger. Players
essentially have a choice between fire and ice, and each choice leads you
further down the paths of good or evil. Actually, the more deeds (good or evil)
you do in the city will determine whether the citizens praise you as their
savior or revere you as a demon. There are two different endings for each side,
and it’s worth playing the game over to see how the other pans out.
