I love Superhero games. Heroic Visions is a cool, easy to learn and use game. There are a nice selection of "races" and powers with a stronger emphasis on psionic based powers. Everything you would expect is here, details on character creation (including near random creation), skills, power and how to deal with psionic powers. Like I said, everything you would expect but nothing exceptionally innovative. I would try it for a session, see how I like it. Not a bad choice for the price.

I've been curious about Heroic Visions for awhile. The Thanksgiving giveaway has satisfied that curiosity. The game is basically a cross between Marvel Superheroes, now the 4-c system, and the Hero System. The character creation body types and origins may well have been ripped from the hallowed pages of the Ultimate Powers book, not that there's anything wrong with that. You can generate characters more or less randomly within the confines of the character's alloted points. The Hero system parallels come in with the slew of attributes and the attack value, defense value application. Characters are customizable with various flaws, etc. The book's layout is annoyingly counter intuitive. Abbreviations are introduced before they are explained, etc. The art is passable, 100% digital. If you're tired of d20 and 4-c, Fate and PDQ are too rules lite for you, Heroic Visions might satisfy your four color desires.
