Online game: City of heroes

all the games ive brought u so far have been free to play, but today im gonna tell you about a great Pay 2 Play game called city of heroes.

City of Heroes is an online world where you can play as any hero you can dream up, then hit the streets of paragon city. The first thing youll notice about the game is its great graphics, wiht their smooth lines and great, very 3D textures. Another awsome aspect is the character creator, which allows you to create any hero you can possibly think of. the combat in this game is fun and engaging, and very rarely will it play out the same, the travel powers are cool, allowing you to fly , jump to magnificent hights, teleport yourself and others or run at super speeds. The only real complaint I have with this game is the lack of variation in the landscape as most of the fairly large world is identical city sections whose only real difference is their color and atmosphere. Also, NCsoft just released City of Villians, which allows you to play as a villian and defeat that hero who dumped you deep in a high level area last night. CoV ties into CoH nicely, allwing players to battle in special pvp zones. One final note, one of the best features of city of heroes is the sidekick system, which allows a lvl 1 newbie to team up with a friend who may be lvl 30 or 40 and still survive and gain exp. Although there are some dissapointments, tis game really does make you feel like a hero, from saving a pedestrian getting robbed, to saving the city from alien attacks.

Rating: 8.5/10
the good: blowing apart an enemy with a whole team of concentrated attacks
the bad: getting triple teamed in FFA arena
the Ugly: Falling 80 stories out of the air then getting pulverized by machine gun fire (ouch)
