    Wake up, true believers, and welcome to a new concept in online RPG’s, where pure enjoyment takes precedence over grind, and cool superhero powers overshadow unwieldy inventory systems and spawn camping. This is the worl... Read Full Review

    Granted, it's better then any MMORPG that I've ever played, but it's still missing something that this genre desperately needs. The great thing about the game is the action, of which there is plenty. Unlike most MMROPGs ... Read Full Review

    I played Ultima Online, EverQuest, Anarchy Online and Shadowbane. This game is very much like all 4 of those games, and unique in its own right. One thing I very much like, and I haven't seen many people write this, i... Read Full Review

    It is a blast to play if you are willing to fork out the cash for it. I find myself playing it for hours at a time looking up at the clock saying, "Hey I should really get some of the things I should be doing done now."... Read Full Review

    OK, I'll be frank: i almost wet my pants when i first read a big article about this game in PC Gamer about a year ago. It sounded sooooo cool to be able to make a hero and live out EVERY human being on earth's childhoo... Read Full Review

    Having extensively played Anarchy Online (plus all current expansions), Dark Age of Camelot, and beta testing Lineage II, I must say that City of Heroes has been the most fun I've had in a MMORPG. The thing that sti... Read Full Review

    This was my first experience with an MMORPG, so I can't compare it to others in the genre. While this may mean that my review is less useful for those with years of experience with this kind of game, I hope that other M... Read Full Review

    I've never been a big fan of MMORPG, the only title i played in this group is Dark Age of Camelot, wich was and still very good, but this one, City of Heroes, got me right in the bullseye. It is so addicting that even wh... Read Full Review

    City of Heroes can and will be viewed as an "MMORPG Lite" by a lot of people, but that doesn't make it any less fun. What you get with this shiny little package is a fast-paced superhero MMOG (a first) with fun, dynamic... Read Full Review
