Teaming up with other heroes is virtually required, as solo playing is basically nothing more than getting assignments and beating up the requisite number of villains. Interaction with the city itself is minimal, and the cars and citizens walking around are only window dressing. With the territory cut into relatively small zones, Paragon City is more of a giant habitrail than the living, breathing world other MMOs try to implement.
But once you join a super team, the game makes much more sense, and the missions become much more involved. Make no mistake about it, Other than maybe Planetside, this is the most combat-oriented MMO on the market.
