    Odds are this game will complete you. Spending hour after hour earning points to gain new abilities becomes a kind of subhuman mania.

    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.

    There really is minimal complexity to the game, no crafting for example, but yet it still has that addicting effect.

    I started playing a year ago and I am completely captivated by the gameplay. Exploring the city and finding missions I haven't played yet is very rewarding.

    This game is a sub par MMORPG at best. So you'll spend lots of time and have lots of fun customizing your character but the gameplay doesn't hold up at all. You'll spend all of your time running to contacts that give you the same missions over and over again, just worded differently or at different locations. I'd say this game has originality but lacks vision.… Expand
