Champions Online: Does Whatever a Spider Can

| 23 Apr 2009 14:00

While City Of Heroes/Villains is a great game, fans were always crying out for the one missing travel power, web-slinging. Champions Online has it.

With great responsibility comes great powers, and web-slinging has to be one of the coolest ways to get around town. So when the Cryptic was designing the Champions Online game, it was one of the travel powers that was a must have.

Like many games, it always "assumes" that there is something for you to latch onto, but for sheer coolness there's little that can beat swinging from actual buildings.

If they can have a mission which lets you dogfight between the skyscrapers, I think I may have found heaven.

Champions Online is due out sometime late 2009 for the PC with the Xbox version soon after.
