MMOHut, "The new free to play MMO based on Cartoon Network’s Hero:108 show is finally opening its doors to the public on June 25, 2010. The official site has gotten a major update since the game was first announced, and advertisements have started to pop up across the internet..."
Bright Hub:
The upside for the game is that it plays out like a 3D beat-e’m-up title from the hey-day of the SNES and Sega Genesis era. The downside is that the game lacks a lot of polish that could have otherwise put it up in the ranks as one of the better licensed-property based games out there.
There's a certain charm that massively multiplayer online brawlers possess. For the older generation of gamers, brawlers have the ability to pull us back into the arcade days of our youth; for the younger gamers, the fast-paced action is better at grabbing attention and competing with popular offline action games. There's something primitively appealing about smashing buttons, dodging attacks, and using real-time tactics to bring down an opponent. Beating things up simply is a fundamental element of fun for gamers.
With that in mind, the combination of a popular cartoon series, the joyful action sequences of a brawler, and the social elements of an MMO should prove a recipe for success - and that's what Hero: 108 Online aims to prove.
MMOGames: Hero: 108 Online has been in Open Beta for months. When's the official release date? Will the release coincide with the new season of the Hero: 108 cartoon?
Hero 108: We officially started the Open Beta on July 7th, and while I can’t give an exact date for the opening of the item shop, I can say that we are getting all of our ducks in a row right now and should hopefully have an update for everyone soon enough.
