Civ III has it's moments, but it is a bit too labor intensive.

Freedom Force is excellent (if you like comic style stuff) and reminds me of the Diablo/Baulder's Gate style engine. You can make your own heroes, though it is a bit of a pain to make a fun hero that is a low enough point cost to recruit onto your team. The story line is cool and the community is almost as ravid as the SE community (there are hundreds of skins for heroes and already people are working on mods). I do wish there was a 'danger room' where you could test your heroes - would be a nice addition. However, in the user forum someone managed to edit the multiplayer game to add bad guys on command to fight, so I imagine we are not to far from seeing a danger room mod.

I was wondering about Jedi Knight II, anyone?
