City of Heroes review

Evil must be smited! Smitten? Aw, screw it - just blast the bastards

Why you can trust 12DOVE Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.

As you might expect from a game that runs 24/7, there's always something happening somewhere in the city, whether it's randomly generated or tautly scripted. True danger is found in the player-vs-player zones, where interlopers from sister game City of Villains cross the border for some voluntary life-and-death struggles. Since the forces of good and evil constantly clash on the streets of these special areas, you'll never have to look far for a fight.
