Cons: Monthly Fee, Annoying System of Debt, Annoying Players, Long Time to Reach Higher Levels
Summary: I was going totally insane when I heard about this game. I thought that Freedom Force from a while back was decent, but it didn't give you a lot of freedom. Umm, no pun intended. Anyone who ever collected comic books, this is your dream come true. I ... read more
