What Gamespot Users have to say about Champions Online

  • Rating:6.5

    What starts out great, quickly becomes monotonous and dull

    I simply could not get beyond the 10-day trial because the game failed to catch my long term attention. The initial options of having almost an unlimited costume and character design, ability to fly very early on, and mu... Read Full Review

    A very fun game. Fast-paced action, great graphics and customization.

    I give this game a generous 9 out of 10. Cryptic needs to do some balancing still, and expand PvP, improve the social and grouping UI. But the pieces are in place for this to take off. Take some of the low ratings on ... Read Full Review

    A great CASUAL MMO.

    Let's get one thing out of the way here: if you're looking for a new game to do some hardcore raiding and pvp: save yourself the time and money by looking elsewhere. You won't find that in Champions Online. It's simply n... Read Full Review

    Early travel powers and costume design are cool, but they don't compensate for the terrible social menu.

    The costume creator is likely what first drew you to this game, and if that's all you require of a game you won't be disappointed. Creating a character concept, a costume for that character, and then a power set is fu... Read Full Review

    Cryptic didn't deliver a valid successor to their previous game.

    (A word of warning, I stopped playing this game before christmas 2009, so some things may have changed. I keep myself updated on the game progress, but until now nothing has captured my attention and given me a valid rea... Read Full Review

    My excitement for this game turned into total disappointment. =(

    Let's get one thing straight, I LOVE super hero MMORPG's. I have really high expectations of MMORPG games, and if it involves super heroes, I have even higher expectations. When Champions was announced I was giddy with e... Read Full Review

    Not a "Wow Killer", but doesn't need to be.

    Overall, I am really enjoying my gamble on this game. I signed up for the early lifetime member option, and was worried I might have made a mistake going in. I was really not a fan of City of Heroes or Villains when I ... Read Full Review

    Champions is a ton of fun... for a few months.

    An ambitious big brother to City of Heroes, Champions Online tries to go more in depth with higher detail and more freedom and in many regards succeeds. The new powerset system offers total freedom, obliterating once and... Read Full Review
