City of Heroes

 

Game Description and Comments

City of Heroes has been a leading super hero MMO ever since it was launched over 7 years ago.  Although not a monster success similar to World of Warcraft, City of Heroes has been a solid star in the MMO universe over the years despite competition from the likes of Champions Online and DC Universe Online. In fact, City of Heroes has been a mainstay on GameOgre.com's Top 10 MMORPG List.

City of Heroes continues to move in the right direction. First the addition of City of Villains was a big success. Not only did this stand alone sequel add playable villains, but it also added a whole dimension to the game with PvP. This success was followed by the Mission Architect system where players can create their own missions. Very few major MMOs allow for that much creativity. The game already has one of the best customization systems in the entire genre. For example, I was able to easily create the mythical Ogre King that is used in GameOgre.com's Ogre Wars. If that was not enough, City of Heroes rewards loyal players with special bonuses the long they stay with the game. Now City of Heroes will enter the free-to-play arena soon. If the F2P change goes as expected, don't be surprised to see considerably more super heroes and villains than ever before.

Comment: Ok, lets start with the basic ratings and explanations.

Graphics (8/10)- Graphics are good, crisp and polished, good effects and amazing ability views. For example, the view when you are flying through the air is jaw-dropping. You will need a decent amount of RAM (2GB is enough) to play this game without it lagging though.

Character Creation (10/10)- You cannot beat NCsoft here, they have made the character creation absolutely amazingly. Creating a costume, this actually makes your character unique. Your character is guaranteed to look nothing like anyone else in the game. I wish more games had this amazing array of character customization.

Gameplay (9/10)- Ok, some quests can seem a little repetitive, you go in a base, you beat up a few people, you collect something, you leave. But once you start building a story arch, things get a bit more interesting. Once you get to a decent level, you can choose ability powers, which is basically main Superhero abilities (Flying, super speed, super jumping, etc) this is very very fun when you get into it, imagine creating a character with steel claws as a superhero ability (Like wolverine from x-men), being able to jump 200ft into the air and running as fast as a plane can fly. This game is unbeatable and has kept me interested for over 2 years now. There is just too much to do, so much to explore and THOUSANDS of character ability combinations to choose from, let alone costumes.

Give this game a try, you will not be disappointed.

Comment: Character customization is a strong point for this game. There are many, many options for character designs and when you get skills, you have several choices and can use individual enhancements to make each character's skill set unique. I was very pleased with all of this.

Game play was pretty typical for MMORPGs and map use/finding things was fairly easy to do. User interface wasn't as intuitive as it could be, but I didn't have any major troubles with it.

The biggest problem I had was that you'd better really enjoy the view of your character's backside and you'd better have no issues with motion sickness. The reason is that each time you fight, the camera automatically skews so you're facing your target-- meaning the world spins dizzyingly around you and you're looking at your character's butt again. The game gave me horrible headaches after very little play time because of this.
