City of Heroes - An MMORPG that is fun!
July 31st, 2007 by Shenron
The thing with MMORPGs is once you first get the game you’re addicted. There seems to be limitless things to do and plenty of people to play with. But that feeling passes, quickly.
With City of Heroes you are brought to a new game entirely. There is no complex system of game play. All you need to know is this: Find enhancements, use them to make your powers stronger, now kill. That’s it.
While leveling up may seem hard past 15 rest assured it’s not WORK at all. I gain levels so quickly because I’m not even thinking about it! I’m just killing things all day! It’s FUN. You’re a Super Hero, with super hero powers.
Another unique element this game brought to MMORPGs is Pool Powers. Once you reach level 14 you have a set to choose from: Super Speed, Super Leaping, Teleporting, and yes, flying.
One unique aspect I thought was the diversity in missions. In many MMORPGs, you find yourself doing the same boring mission over and over again. But in City of Heroes each mission links with one another, and the best part of it, you are part of the story. I was hunting some Robots and when I got to the boss I found out he was PROGRAMMED to terminate me. Pretty cool!
All in all this is the first MMORPG that is actually a game instead of mental labor. Even if you hate MMORPGs give it a try. You’ll be ultimately impressed.
