The game itself is similar to Freedom Force in that it depicts the world in a third person isometric perspective. At the start of the game you are allowed to either create your own character or choose one of several pre-generated characters. Costumes, hair and skin color, gender and more are available and you can even accessorize your costume with masks and capes. You also type in your new character’s name which other characters in the game use when they talk to you (and those conversations can be quite hilarious depending on what name you chose). Regardless of whether you pick a pre-generated character or develop one of your own, you must pick three super powers to use for your super hero. There is everything from super speed, super strength, invulnerability and more to chose from for your character in the beginning and other powers can be acquired later in the game (more on that in a bit).
