Pick a costume and some powers, then hit the streets as a superhero! With the first expansion, you'll get to tweak your costume and powers, fight on rooftops, and battle the massive beasts and new crime syndicates: The ultra high-tech Malta Group, the wicked and freakish Carnival of Shadows and the deadly Praetorians. Then move on to the second expansion, where you'll earn badges for exploring the city and open up areas, new trial and new levels of adventure!

 City of Heroes -- still going after 5 years March 23, 2008

If like Heroclix, and all the special goodies this is the version of City of Heroes for you. It also has a rare badge that can only be acquired by purchasing and using the code with this copy of the game, and several costume pieces unique to holders of the CoH DVD edition. The game is the premier customizable superhero MMO RPG. It is moving towards it 5th year since release and is going strong. For more info about City of Heroes, check out http://www.cityofheroes.com

City of Heroes is a wonderful game. This product is the Collectors Edition, and the only thing it grants over City of Heroes is an in-game badge ("V.I.P." for hero characters, and "Destined One" for Villains), the "Prestige Power Slide" power, which is an alternate animation of a power every character gets, a few additional costume pieces, and bragging rights. I belive this product is also out of production, hence the price more than twice that of City of Heroes.
For die-hard fans, this product should be bought now before there aren't any left; the price will only increase as time goes on (as is the case with many collector items). If you just want to play a great MMO, buy City of Heroes or City of Heroes Good vs. Evil Edition. (Actually both City of Heroes and City of Heroes Good vs. Evil Edition cost $30, but the latter will give you access to extra costume options, a badge, some extra powers, and the whole Villain side of the game, as well.)

City of Heroes doesn't have a huge degree of depth. Its graphics are shiny and colorful, but there's not a large amount of interaction with the environment, either: trees are still trees after a big fiery battle, and fences and rooftops still need to be leapt over if you can't fly.
That said, there is an unbelieveable amount of fun to playing City of Heroes. It is a gaming experience that streamlines the essence of "fun". Load times are low, "traveling" from one area to another is really quick, and I have yet to experience lag. It's also easy to spend as much or as little time as you want: in other games I am pressured by people--"When are you coming back?" "Why can't you stay longer?". Here, I can be in and out in 15 minutes, and familiar faces are always glad to see me.
Overall, I am very happy with my gaming experience in City of Heroes. I haven't logged a thousand hours in it, but I always enjoy a chance to play.
Behind the scenes, the company that manages the game has done their best to make it hassle-free. I have experienced excellent customer service by phone or e-mail, I have yet to be unable to access a game server, and although the interface has a lot of different elements to it, it's very easy to get used to once you take the time to read the manual. I even enjoy the character creation interface--it gives you a lot more freedom than the other MMOs and RPGs I have played.

So I bought this game and it comes with a serial code. Which the company then refused to accept. So like an idiiot I bought a new serial code. Which the company refused to accept. So like an idiot, I sent a message to the help desk. Which the company refused to accept.
A NEW AGE FOR GAMING February 4, 2006

It has been very long time since I have seen something really exciting and really innovative in computer gaming. The scenario is plain and simple for those who play rpg's you create your character with his/her special abilities you choosing from different classes you dress him/her choosing from hundreds of options and making thousands of combinations and you are almost there. All you need is a story THE STORY of your newborn super hero and his unique name. After this the big fun is out there in the city of Heroes. Bad guys are in the streets and your task is known as an old computer gamer but soon you will find out that you are not alone in this magic world. Lots of other unique super heroes are out there ready to make teams super groups or even coalitions. You are unique in a world of unique colorful super heroes from all over the world ready to become your friends what else would you call fun? The price of subscription is normal accordingly to other on line games.
From all my games I think this is something exceptional and worthy to buy. The interface is easy and the chat options fantastic. I strongly recommend this title to anyone who can control his gaming addictions.
