CoH - Review @ GamersInfo.net

GamersInfo.net takes another look at City of Heroes and City of Villains.

With the recent resurgence of the superhero genre, and the release of the Good vs. Evil edition, it is perhaps time to take another look at the City of Heroes/City of Villains games. Almost 3 years have past since upstart developer Cryptic released their comic book themed MMORPG; let’s examine how well it stands up.

Visually the game still gets the job done. The added details from City of Villains, as well as the addition of ragdoll effects for enemies, are nice touches, and the semi-stylized comic book look of heroes and villains remains fresh. The costume creation system in particular still shines as the absolute best in the field, with new additions appearing in each Issue lately. The new content added in Issue 7 and the upcoming Issue 8 promises more exciting visuals executed with Cryptic’s standard of excellence maintained.
