In the making since - well, a pretty long time now, the "City of Heroes" MMORPG offers a nice setting in a comic book world. Bjorn3D has come up with a very detailed preview of this game, with six pages and a lot of screenshots. Here's their conclusion:
If you don’t like MMORPGS, don’t bother. If you think the best thing in life is to power level and gain phat loot from raids, forget about it. If you don't like comics, you might wanna keep away. However, if you want a meat and potatoes RPG game set in a comic book realm, come right on in. I’ve been waiting for a game like this to come along since Champions of vaporware fame. Sure, Freedom Force was a fun game, but I have found my Holy Grail, and City of Heroes is its name. |
