[Anonymous]

A boss review (preview, ramble, epiteph, what have you) of city of heroes

Strangely enough, the guy lambastes their other MMORPG offering, lineage II.

Here is a snippet


The new, T-rated online games for the PC each cost about $40, plus a $15
monthly fee. The similarities end there. While "City of Heroes" features
teamwork and hours of engaging play, the medieval setting of "Lineage II"
suffers from boring, repetitive tasks, creating an effect that gamers call
"treadmilling."


Any comic book fan will instantly recognize the story behind "City of
Heroes." The sprawling virtual world of Paragon City has been overrun with a
host of evil menaces, including the Rikti aliens, the superpower-enhanced
Freakshow gang and a shady corporation.


Your job? Eradicate the bad guys.
