City Of Heroes: MMO Blogger Van Hemlock's review of City of Heroes

Having spent most of the weekend actually out of character creation and playing the game, I'm now starting to get a much better idea of what City of Heroes is really like. Mind you - still couldn't resist making up another couple of heroes with the outstanding My-Little-Superhero Dress Up Playset they've tacked on the front of the thing.

Compelling stuff, and it's just as well you get so many character slots really. Clearly both CoH and CoV are an Alt-o-holics nightmare, and a certain degree of focus is needed to actually pick one and get on with it, but as mentioned before, I've only two weeks, so from here on in, I shall be continuing with The Tundra Templar, my magic tanker, described previous.

A quick run through the side-street tutorial and it was off to Atlas Park, and the beginning of the real game. This saw me arrive at a large plaza with a big statue of Atlas, complete with globe-on-shoulders, and into a quite remarkable scene. All about the place, below the statue, the plaza is vibrant with Superheroes. Most standing about chatting, some dancing or playing music via the quite elaborate emote system, a few training up levels with Ms Liberty, some buying and selling Enhancements at the other superhero trainers.
