You create a super hero, design his costume and pick his or her powers. Then you're off to fight the villains.

There are numerous areas in the city the games takes place in. As you reach different levels, new missions open up in harder zones.

You can play as an independent superhero or join a team and at level 10, a supergroup.

Making believe. In real life we can't fly or shoot fire from our hands. In this game you can.

The fact that depending upon what background you pick, mutant, science accident, normal human, you get different missions to carry out.

You have to pay a monthly fee to use this on hte Internet and cannot use it without the Internet. My husband and I returned EverQuest a few years ago for this very reason. It's a scam to have you buy a game and then pay to play it. But my husband was drooling over it for so long and loves it so much, I'll continue to just grit my teeth.

I'm not done yet. I'm only level 9 at this point and there are people level 50. In other words, there's lot of game time possible.

It's a really fun game with lots of different possibilities.
