Cole MacGrath's sophomore outing deserved more than a standard case, and Sucker Punch agreed. The inFAMOUS 2 Special Edition on PlayStation 3 wraps the electrifying sequel in an HD 3D lenticular cover that makes the box pop on any shelf, giving collectors an immediate visual upgrade over the standard release without going full premium tier.

The lenticular cover is genuinely eye-catching. That 3D depth effect on Cole was Sucker Punch flexing their visual design chops right on the packaging, and it's the kind of detail that ages well in a collection. You pick it up, tilt it, and it still impresses. Beyond the cover, the DLC voucher code unlocks a trio of meaningful additions: the Electrocution Grenade for chaining electric damage through groups, the Original Cole Skin for wearing his jacket from the first game, and the Gold Amp, a gilded version of Cole's signature melee weapon.

For collectors who played the original inFAMOUS and carried that investment into the sequel, the Original Cole Skin hits a particular nostalgic nerve. It's Sucker Punch acknowledging the journey. The Special Edition sits in a comfortable middle ground for PS3 collectors. It's more distinctive than the standard release, more accessible than the Hero Edition, and that lenticular cover gives it a display presence that flat artwork simply can't match. A clean entry point for any inFAMOUS collection.
