Hi guys,
Jalgeh and I are in the beta and let me just confirm that this game is a lot of fun.
As a lifelong comic book collector it is a dream come true for me to be able to create and play my own superhero.
It is true that there is a levelling element to advancing your character and gaining new powers, but for me the combat and missions are so fun that it doesn't feel like a treadmill at all (more like a backpacking trip in the Sierra Nevada's).
The AI on the badguys is the best I have seen yet in a MOG (by far).
Also, it is the most three dimensional world I have ever interacted with in a game. They didn't just put things like flying and superleap into the game as an afterthought, the zone design was all carefully done with 3-d in mind.
Anyway, Jagleh and I will definitely be playing this game. Let me also say that the Beta has been remarkably stable. They have had 5000+ simulataneous users on a server, and while it was laggy, it was playable. There have certainly been server outages, but you can definitely see an improvement over time.
See you in paragon city,
Sesh/Zemach soon to be the great superhero Dark Kestrel
p.s. I will be the one in spandex...er..nevermind
