Pros: Awesome game play, team ups, creating own hero

Cons: not enough hours in the day to play

This is an awesome game. I have played at every free moment for the past 2 weeks. I typically stear clear of the online games due to the pointy ear nature of them, but this one...man, is great. You create your own hero from costume design to a bas...ic package of powers and then you go out and kick bad guys around until you gain more power and capabilities.Since this is a new game sometimes something can go wrong. I only had one instance of this and a enemy was somehow embedded in a wall but could still attack me but I couldn't attack it to complete my mission. I sent the help desk a request for help expecting a reply in a day or so. Within 5 minutes someone was chatting with me about the problem, he then moved the enemy out of the wall so I could finish my mission. I couldn't believe they got to it so quick. not to mention that they could find me in the game and fix the problem in the first place.I highly recomend this game for first timers or online gaming veterans that need a break from tossing spells at mutant rabbits. The updates coming out in June will fix the only issue I see as a problem...that the hero's look is set in stone once created. Playing, you see a wide assortment of hero's and sometimes new ideas come into mind and no way to apply them.,...until June that is. Read more Less
