We need a sweet spot for this; the main character is a bit of a sarcastic smart-ass, Buuuut, thats also because of his raising plus his age. Cole was a lot older than Delsin.
The main quest is closer to the second game than the first. Still a little shorter. The big thing is that the main quest is really all you've got going for you. There are side quests... sort of. Find the undercover DUP agent. Or chase the origami paper chick. Oh, wait, you can't do that because the website is down and it won't sync properly. Unless they fixed that since Saturday. At any rate, what made this game seem so short to me is that there is the main quest, spray-painting fixed locations on the map, finding the undercover DUP agents, destroying all of the cameras, finding all of the shards, and the mandatory showdown for each district. The only actual side quest is Cole's Legacy, and that's only if you preordered. Luckily, I did, and that 4 quest chain was kind of cool.

Each one sort of did their own thing and had their own play style and were powerful enough to work on their own. I'd have liked to see special enemy types that made you change, though. Like enemies that were heavily armored so you had to use the neon power to pinpoint shots, or enemies that you had no choice but to use the video power's stealth to take them down. Would have made it seem more versatile.
Val, that is exactly what I was hoping would happen with the powers. Sadly, the only real reason to switch powers, other than being forced to, is to fit your personal play style. Even then, there isn't much variety.
Anywho, I am still glad that I bought the game and I'm still having some fun on my run to beat the Infamous path on Expert (gotta hunt those trophies), I just wish that the game would have felt more imaginative. 7/10 for me.
