4/5:
Dust off your shiny spandex jumpsuit, because City of Heroes is the most original MMORPG of the last few years. --[Yahoo! Games]


8.4/10:
Old pros of the genre won't find City of Heroes quite as exciting and probably should invest their time elsewhere if they are not that excited about the game. --[Game Zone Online]


8.8/10:
This is a highly recommended MMORPG, and the first of its kind. --[AllRPG]


4.5/5:
City of Heroes ranks among the most original MMORPGs we've seen. --[PC Magazine]


3/5:
it’s repetitive, at times it’s very counter-intuitive (mostly because you don’t get any information beyond 'do this'), it has little-to-no sense of community, and honestly, I think it’s over-priced. --[File Front]


4/5:
The game is addictive but not horribly so. It is fun to play and not terribly difficult to stop playing. --[Frictionless Insight]


4.5/5:
With so many EQ-me-toos out there, it’s refreshing to play something new, and to have it be this good is like finding a cooler of lemonade in the middle of the desert. --[Game Pro]


4.5/5:
And unlike many MMORPG’s it is very simple and can be played by even a role-playing neophyte. --[Game Shark]


33/50:
. City of Heroes is a jewel of a title if you’re seeking casual or hardcore gameplay across a massive scope. --[Gamers Pulse]


80/100:
While CoH seems a little less ambitious than other MMO games, but it just means that Cryptic has spent the time to really make their game work right. --[Telefragged]


90/100:
SITE AWARD - While some are not happy that the game is not EverQuest in spandex, due to the lack of crafting, no PvP (at present time) and no player housing, City of Heroes stays true to the comic books that inspired its creation. --[ActionTrip]


8.8/10:
The game is very accessible and despite some of the repetitive nature of the game I had a lot of fun playing it both solo and with groups of other players. --[Gaming Nexus]


4/5:
But underneath its shiny surface, Paragon City turns out to be as paper thin as the comic books that inspired it. It’s a really nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there. --[Game Revolution]


90/100:
It's one of the best looking MMORPGs out there, with massive levels that are truly multi-tiered and the NPC enemies you have to fight are impressive looking and even the power effects are cool to look at. --[HomeLAN Fed]


5/5:
SITE AWARD - When all is said and done, every session leaves you feeling like you’ve just read the latest issue of your favorite comic book. I can think of no higher praise than that. --[Adrenaline Vault]


9/10:
This game's the most fun I've had for the last couple months, and it looks like it's going to stay that way. --[NetJak]


8.4/10:
It's exciting, it's colorful, it's cute, it's brutal, and it's a great realization of comic books in MMO form. --[IGN]


8.8/10:
In short, City of Heroes is an awesome MMORPG ... , CoH is just a better US$16 spent every month, if you have it to spend. --[Game Axis]


4/5:
City of Heroes isn't deep, but it's balanced, creative, and fun. --[Game Spy]

RecommendedMaybe it's the new topic, maybe it's the oodles of women in tights, but I love this city even at $15 a month. --[Gamezilla]

Recommended...City of Heroes is a great MMORPG to start with if you never done so and for veterans a nice, fun change from grind-centered online titles that feel more like work than play. --[UnderGroundOnline]


8.4/10:
It's a refreshingly focused online role-playing experience and is an entertaining, polished game that, unlike so many others, manages to deliver on the underlying promise of an excellent concept. --[Game Spot]
