You wont WANT another game for a long long time
User Rating: 9.7 | City of Heroes PC
I have been playing City of Heroes (CoH) since its conception. I have seen most if not all of what this game offers. If you need further evidence to add validity to my review please visit my site AbyssLegion.com I have read through few reviews and found it very concerning that others have purchased the game and quickly make judgments based solely on what they THINK they know of CoH. Please don’t listen to the statements made by earlier reviewers about the game having “no depth” and being “monotonous”. They have come to this conclusion because they have not played the game through. The game starts you out as a weak hero, still learning the ropes and struggling for a place of honor alongside the great heroes of ages past. In time you gain credibility with city officials and are assigned progressively more important missions of greater impact on a citywide and eventually global scale. You are never bored due to the ever changing landscapes and missions based on your heroes’ power and influence. From fighting thugs on the street, to destroying huge mutants, to taking down alien threats on their own mother ship, to taking on intergalactic foes in alternate dimensions. That’s pretty cool, but that’s all… right? WRONG, every 3-4 months a new patch adds new exiting features like new landscapes, new costume options, new powers (on top of the 300+ already available), new villains lairs to destroy, new abilities (last patch added the ability to shape shift to a gigantic energy beast) and the list goes on. All in all, you’ll thank yourself for spending that extra $15 per month, because you won’t WANT another game for a long, long time.
