ActionTrip has whipped up a review of NCsoft's 'City of Heroes'. The score is a very strong 90% and here's the intro:
Super heroes have (finally) been getting a fair shake by the entertainment world in the past few years (ignore the Daredevil movie and this theory holds water). The argument could be made that this is due to the advances in technology that finally allow movies and video games to represent heroes in a way that equals or surpasses the images found in a comic book. Of course, the argument could also be made that it's not the technology that has made the dramatic difference but that the people using the technology are themselves true fans and, therefore, know what elements are needed to ensure a quality product. After all, look at what Peter Jackson was able to do with the Lord of The Rings series. While the movies were not perfect translations of the books, just imagine what the films would have been like if, say, David Lynch had directed them. Sure, the man knows a thing or two about dwarves, but personally, I cannot picture Kyle MacLachlan in the role of Aragorn.
