A long-time fixture on the Windows MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) front, City of Heroes (CoH) has finally flown to the Mac.
CoH Hardware Requirements
CoH requires an Intel based Mac running Tiger (10.4) or later with 1GB of RAM and a proper graphics card - MacBook and Mac Mini owners with integrated graphics will be unable to play the game. For this review the game was tested on a 2.2GHz MacBook Pro with 2GB of RAM and an NVidia 8600M.
In most cases, the game ran fine on this setup: framerates stayed high except for particularly frenzied combat sequences, particularly during group play. At the same time, the computer's fans were running at full and notebook users may wish to use a cooling device such as a Chillpak.
