Summary: 5 Stars
After many years and many game updates, this is still one of the best MMOs out there. For anyone who has never played it, I highly recommend it.Customer Review: The only game I have on my computer these days.
Summary: 4 Stars
I've owned this game for almost 4 years... I think. I took about a year off and just came back to it after my roomate started playing on my account and soon my girlfriend got hooked too. This is a great MMO and has the best online community I've been a part of. The challenge level really picks up in the mid-20's, but this has been relieved a bit lately with the XP smoothing they've applied to the game. You really should try this one if you're getting bored with your current MMO or just starting out in the MMO world.Customer Review: City of Fun/City of nofun
Summary: 3 Stars
Ok heres the deal. If you like comic books and comic book super heroes then you will probably like this game....for a while. The character creation is unmatched by any game I have ever seen. Every person I know that plays it and many that have never actually played the game enjoyed the creation process that often can take several hours out of your day. There are thousands of possibilities in creating your super heroes look which is exciting but daunting.
As for game play...I started playing CoH years ago because I wanted to fly. Its that simple. I loved the idea of going flying over the top of the city, swooping down, beating up bad guys and flying away again.
This is still the main reason I play. I love to fly.
Graphics wise, it is not bad, its not too tough on computers, its got some fun factor to it for the first 20 levels. After 20 levels it seems to become very repetative to the point of boredom. You will get tired of the same city zones and defeating the same types of villians and then you get a new city and its fun for 3-4 levels and then it becomes boring again and then you get to a new city and its great.
The story archs are often long drawn out reads that mean nothing.
In my opinion there is no greater fun than flying, except when an alien invasion occurs and you and 50 other heroes from around the world that you do not know are in the streets defending the city. It is an awesome battle and a really neat scene.
Grouping is easy, no matter which of my 20 characters I play I always have group invites.
The "missions" you do are ok.
The zones/dungeons you do your missions in are cool until you have done it them the millionth time.
Overall I reccomend it.
Customer Review: City of Heroes is a great buy!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I received the City of Heroes/City of Villains as a gift from some friends so that I could play with them. Unlike most peoples reviews I want to let you know what the game offers you, so you can then decide if you want to play it. I have never played any type of role playing/mmo over the computer before, but I LOVE this game. I have been playing now for 3 months and yes it is different from any other game out there, so it does take a few days/weeks to get used to all the commands and different styles of playing. The best part of this game is that it is PG-13, yes there is violence, but no gore or meanness, it is just good versus bad, so all my friends now play, and so do our kids (over 13 that is). The bad guys are very fictional, (computer animated for CoH), some include: zombies, nazi's, aliens, robots, and drug-dealing gang-members. The City of Heroes is fun, entertaining, and interactive. It gives you and your friends/family the ability to play together through teams and "super groups", it teaches the value of a team play and good strategies, but you can also play completely on your own or in PUGs.
The downside to the game is you pay every month, but it is simply [...], and you don't have to pay for updates! The good side of a month to month game is that when you don't have time to play, you just don't pay that month, there is no contracts or pressure to continuing play. Another possible downside, depending on your personal schedule, is the amount of time needed to get anywhere in the game. You need to gain experience and influence (money in the game) and you do this by spending hours playing: doing missions, task-forces, coalitions, raids, gathering badges, selling and buying enhancements, salvage, recipes, etc. But, this game will never bore you. There is lots of different zones, radio missions, contact missions, special zone missions, and tons of "temporary powers". There is two hero vs. villain zones and a free-for-all PvP zone. There are alien invasions and "story arcs" in which have special bad guys, like elite bosses and arch-villains. Super Groups have a Super Base's that you collectively create and use. The best of all, is you can create and play so many different types of heroes or villains! There are 5 basic types, but there is a near endless possibilities for primary/secondary/pool power combinations and you get new choices for powers, called epic powers, once your character reaches a high enough level. You can have 12 different characters on the same server and you get to make a whole new type of character, warshade/peacebringer, once you get one of your characters to level 50.
The veteran rewards, temporary powers, free respect's, free costume changes, and the rewards for completing stories are wonderful bonuses. NCSoft has great customer relations and there is tutorials through out the game to help you learn. There are also sites that help great deal as well, paragonwiki.com and youtube.com both have good information and videos. With the amount of information out there about the game, you should know whether or not you will like this game, however, I personally think the good vs. evil package can not be beat. Two games for the price of one, with a free month and only [...] a month to play both games. I hope you enjoy!
