Create a superhero - offline

Accompanying NCsoft's launch of City of Heroes in Asia, the game's character creator is now free to download for Korean players. One of the most fun toys in the game, the character creator in City of Heroes differs from most other MMOs in the fact that you can create pretty much any superhero costume you can think of, rather than sticking to one or two hairstyles and faces.

With games like The Sims 2 offering up their character creation module as a teaser before the game's release, we're surprised City of Heroes didn't pursue a similar tactic. The downloadable creator is in Korean, but 1up points to a site with instructions on how to run it in English.
