"Spandex and Super Powers, YAY!"
5 stars"

“Polished”. Thats probably the best word to described this game, with “fun” coming in a close second. Don't get me wrong, there are a few things still missing, but overall the game is well polished and a lot of fun.

They just seem to have gotten things right so far, and that starts as soon as you load up the game. The character creation has to be the best part of the game, from selecting your origin (mutant, natural, tech etc…), your role (brawler, blaster, controller etc…) and your powersets (which decide what powers are available), to the unbelievably customisable body/costume design. The choices are so varied and detailed that I have yet to see a duplicate costume ingame.

The gameplay to is well done. Gone are the downtimes and grind of previous MMOs. Granted, there is still the leveling game, but its fun to do (espeacially in groups) and with the range of super-powers on display its a treat just to wade into the bad guys and lay the smackdown.

Also look for City of Villians, the PvP badguys vs. goodguys expansion, which has been announced. I'd really give this game 4.5 stars, but its worth more than a 4, so 5 will have to do.
