City of Heroes Preview

GameZone Online has put together a preview of City of Heroes, Cryptic Studios upcoming superhero-themed MMORPG. A snippet, as usual:
NPCs often talk with chat balloons above their heads, keeping a comic-book flavor to the game. But don't expect that to mean you will see words like biff!, pow!, or crush! pop up when you hit an opponent. This game does not go the way of campy cartoon action.

Graphically this game is wonderful, joyful and fun. The effects are terrific and the animation is smooth. This game was based on technology of three years ago, according to Cryptic's Michael Lewis, which make it the type of game that almost any PC owner can play (there's that accessible word again), but this game would stand up to any MMP on the market.
