Let me start this off by saying I can not really appreciate a new MMO after playing one for so long and loving it. Everything else I criticize to much even though World Of Warcraft was not perfect.
(I Dont recommend watching the full video skip around)
So basically in this came I can customize EVERYTHING about the character. The height/weight, body style colors of everything, which I thought was insanely cool! You can ever customize the colors of the spells and moves.
After creating your character you are launched into the "world" and this is where you begin with some tutorial missions.
This is where I began to hate the game. Normally my computer does not "lag" at all on games even when play WoW. So I was surprised to find how slow the game was running and I was getting extremely frustrated.
After finally being able to move around and get used to the controls, another thing I did not like, I made a few friends in the starting area and we ran around completing the missions.
The missions were fairly simple but getting over the lag on the server was the hardest part. After completing the tutorial missions you are thrown into an MMO area in which you are in a group and have to defeat this monster type thing.
The group playing was a bit too easy and confusing since I did not know much about the different types of playing abilities. I myself was a Ranged casting DPS and the moves were cool but also confusing. I did not like the setup of the screen and you could not customize it.
After you defeat the monster you are brought back to the starting area where you have a "MORAL" choice. You can help a NPC or kill the NPC. Doing so causes you to be a "Hero" or "Villain". I wanted to test out the Villain aspect of the game so I chose to kill.
After you are brought to a terribly confusing land of villains where you must complete objectives.
After playing for over an hour in this territory I had to stop. I did not understand the missions and the game was filled with glitches and bugs.
Maybe it was just my experience but I disliked the game ALOT. The only saving point was the character customization.
The MMO I first chose to do was Everquest but I was having trouble with it and found out City of Heroes was a FREE download! This excited me because I actually wanted to test this out for the longest time but never had the chance to play or buy it. Instead of going into great length of the MMO which I did in my paper Ill offer an "at a glance" review of it. Since the game was so large I was not able to run a screen record at the same time so ill be putting in videos and pictures instead from the internet.
First off City of Heroes is an MMO where you can fully customize the player of your choice.

Well, the mmos were free. Customizing "everything" is interesting. But doesn't make up for bad gameplay. A lot of people complain about the lag time on the mmos, even with desktops. Good description
