Opinion: City of Heroes Can Take On Champions

With the release of Champions Online for the PC only a month away, comparisons to City of Heroes are going to be made. If you're only going to play one of these two superhero games (until, of course, the DC and Marvel MMOs are launched), which one will it be? Well, MMOsite has published an opinion piece by Cecil Adkins, an active City of Heroes and World of Warcraft player, that suggests City of Heroes has nothing to worry about from its upcoming competition.

Adkins lists five reasons why City of Heroes will be able to take on Champions Online. He says Cryptic Studios, the Champions developer that originally developed City of Heroes, hasn't learned much from CoH. For example, CoH has instanced missions, while Champions' missions are open-world. Adkins also doesn't believe Champions will succeed on the Xbox 360 and thinks the game can't compete with CoH's five years of content. He's not impressed with Champions' graphics, either.

To be fair, MMOsite will have an article in the future explaining why City of Heroes might have something to worry about when Champions Online launches. What do you think?
