Fun game, especially for playing 1-2 hours at a time I've tried out several online multi-player games since I got dsl and I've never felt like playing them for more than few months due to the massive time investment and studying they seem to require. City of Heroes breaks away from that routine. I've been playing since April and I'm still having a great time. They've stripped away all the resource gathering and economy simulation stuff and just left the player to concentrate on foiling the schemes of villains. I went ahead an d bought 6 months of subscription time up front and got the price break on the monthly fee. The game adds new places, new bad guys, and new interesting things every 2-3 months, so the game keeps on getting better. There have been some wild stuff that the company has been testing on the "Test Server" that a prior reviewer referred to. Those experimental changes have already been tweaked back and aren't going to be transferred to the Live servers where it counts. Every online multi-player game does tweaks on character abilities from time to time as the game evolves, and the designers for this game have been doing a good job of communicating with the players before changes are implemented. I feel like a buddy is running this game for me. There is another major update to the game in January coming and the testing reports from players have been intriguing to say the least. Anyway, give the game a try if you're interested in playing your own superhero. I wound up shelving my Playstation for this puppy. The first month's subscription comes with the game.
