The best in the world...
This game provides you with the opportunity to do all that and more. You can fly through the air with the greatest of ease, run faster than a speeding bullet, and shoot fire and ice from your fingertips. The gameplay is superb, the graphics are spectacular, and the continues to edit itself. It's not a perfect city you're trying to protect, four of the original zones in the game have undergone some kind of drastic change over time. And with City of Villains coming out and the birth of two PvP zones (where Heroes and Villains can strut their stuff against actual thinking people who can come up with their own tactics and adapt). The addition of Bases and Base Portals gives both Heroes and Villains a place to form up their supergroups and coalitions.
This *is* the best MMORPG on the market. As long as NCSoft and Cryptic keep doing what they've been doing (revolutionizing the game and producing an enjoyable, artistic, adaptive gaming atmosphere).
