Take a look at this MMOG, its way way better than SWG, the environment rocks, you allways feel like you are taking part in everything that goes on, and in what other game can you wear luminous spandex and look cool saving old ladies from goons?

Well i kinda got bored of killing my 4,037,074 womp rat on tatooine to fill up a skill box.........

This is such a breath of fresh air compared to the other online games I have played, it has hints of Anarchy Online in it, but other than that it doesn't relate to any other game i have played.

Its setting feels very much like GTA : Vice City and the grpahics are like this alos, with litter blowing accross streets, thugs with baseball bats and guns mugging people, or breaking into cars and warehouses, this is where you come in as a hero incase you hadn't guessed ;)

Also you can go to a shady or police associated contact for missions and scramble your way around inside an office block to rscue a prisoner, or download stolen data off a PC, smash up an illegal drugs lab etc, all these environments are fully 3D and if you have flight as part of your superpowers it comes in pretty useful.

 

When you start out you can design your hero costume to your peculiar tastes, be it Rhubarb Man in Luminous Pink and Green, or Capitan America in his traditional outfit, its pretty much all do able.

I seen chars ranging from Dick Tracy to Dr Who to Indiana Jones to Commando, and then the more Marvel and DCtypes like Spiderman (there isnt actually a wall climbing power yet, its in the pipeline apparently) Superman, Action-man, bat man and robin toooo, but im sorry to say i havent seen a supergran yet, though i might make one after posting this.

 

Hope to see you in paragon city soon
