This game is beautiful. A few things I want to mention:
- It has the most elaborate and satisfying character customization system ever. I thought SWG was good (and it does have the edge in terms of facial detail), but overall, COH gives you a lot more possibilities. No hero need look anything at all like another.
- The environments are beautiful and detailed. Bits of trash float by on the breeze, monorails go by overhead, the streets are full of cars. The interior of buildings puts every other mmo game to shame. The architecture looks real and legitimate, not boxy and repetetive (like SWG). There is a scyscraper-tall statue in one of the starting areas, a statue of Atlas holding the world. The first time I flew all the way up there and sat down on top of the statue was pretty friggin sweet. There is just a level of polish that is really impressive.
- The combat is fun! You can choose to hover above the battle and blast fireballs down on the enemy, or wade in like Wolverine and kick some ass. The classes (or "archetypes") seem to be really balanced, and I've never seen a group looking for a particular class over another.
So far I love this game. I would highly recommend it.
