Is it still worth playing?
Irrational Games' 2002 real time tactical role playing game, in which you guide a team of superheroes defending Patriot City from villains and monsters. You control up to four members in real time to complete objectives, mostly combat based, and each character's actions are limited by a stamina meter, with stronger actions costing more. Characters level up with XP gained in missions, which gives CP to improve or add abilities. You can create custom characters, especially through mods, to recruit in the main story and use in multiplayer. Every character, custom ones included, has a Prestige rating from the number and strength of its abilities, which stops you recruiting overpowered customs at the start and balances multiplayer. Each team is still your own, built ability by ability.
