City of Heroes Review

Another City of Heroes review has popped up over at ActionTrip this evening, taking a look at Cryptic Studios' massively multiplayer online RPG. Here's a clipping:

Another thing City of Heroes does differently is that there is no equipment to outfit and upgrade your character with. Instead, when defeating enemies you receive 'enhancements' that boost the various aspects of your powers and 'inspirations' that grant a temporary boost to defense, chance to hit or damage you inflict. This means there is no crafting for players to take part in. Again, to some MMORPG veterans this is a handicap, but frankly I do not miss it. Sitting my super hero in front of a sewing machine to churn out countless pairs of tights to sell to other heroes does not fit my mental image of a crime fighter. This is not to say I don't enjoy crafting, it just does not lend itself to this game.
