City of Heroes Review

As a MMORPG the game has a refreshing approach, but its lasting value is in jeopardy as power players are able to get to the highest level in one to two months and after that there is not much content left unless they level up another character or wait for the upcoming expansions and content patches. In its defense it's a very young game, every MMORPG has started with limited content but these days players will tear through content much, much quicker than they did five years ago, especially through a game like City of Heroes which is designed as a less time-consuming MMORPG. But as a longtime player of MMORPGs myself, I love being able to log on for fifteen minutes and actually get a feeling of progress at any level. It is about time MMORPGs started to look at themselves as games, not time sinks.
