Well spent like 3 hours playing tonight with some buds, and it was a most enjoyable experience. You are a hero 24/7, and paragon city has a billion bad guys, Mephex. All of them are just NPCs though, but if you are correct on them adding Villians and a bad guy faction, this game could become great, instead of just entertaining right now.
Basically you accept missions, go complete the missions, usually rescue some missing people from sometypeofbadguys. or find some stolen painting, or take care of gang problems in a park. The types of badguys we saw were your typical thugs, zombies, clockwork machines, and some Nazis. Seems pretty typical right now, the city seems quite large, we never left the zone we started off in/instanced dungeons connected to it.
The missions are usually in instanced dungeons, much like how LDoN works. Missions can be done solo, or you can group up with people, and the missions automatically increase in difficulty to account for your group, which I think is a pretty good idea.
Graphics are pretty nice, controls are nice and the gameplay isn't just hit auto attack and watch it do its thing. although it isn't that much more than that.
Character creation is simply amazing, every hero looks soooooo cool, and the chances of looking exactly the same as another hero are going to be pretty slim because of the number of options are just wow.
I suggest buying the presale box to get into the beta for 3 weeks for only 10 bucks, and if you like it you get 10 bucks off release.
