Video Game Reviews of City of Villains
Customer Review: One year later & the game is going strong!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really fun game if you want to play mmorpg without all the mid-evil stuff... lets face it every mmorpg game out there is stuck in the past!
This game is easy to play & understand. Its one of the few online mmorpg games set in modern times, & allows FULL costumization of your character.
People complaining about the time it takes to make a character are missing half the fun of the game, you'll find dressing your "toon" one of the highlights of the game. As you progress in the game you gain more costume options
Capes
Auras
extras costume slots (you can currently have 5 differnt looks)
Wings (after 15 months of paid/played game time)
etc....
lots of new content added every 6 months or so.
this is a game worth trying if you are still thinking about do so :)
I highly recomend it!

This game disappointed me. I downloaded it and finally set up my account and then I created a really awesome character which took me an hour and a half to look through all the details. [horns,masks,suits,claws,powers,origins etc.] and then I pressed enter the rogue isles and the bottom half of my screen just freezes and the light effects make the top all blurry so I try a couple more times and I never got it to work. I contacted the tech support for the site and they just want me to run a diagnostic test and i dont know what the heck that is so I still havent become a villain...Customer Review: Great

City of Villians is a fun game. You get to be a villian and fight heroes in a vst big land. There's lots of quests and a tutrial to help you. The only downside is u need to pay each month or 3,etc depending how much u payed. If u get a copy, u might get one month free but u have to activate it first.Customer Review: It can be good to be bad

"City of Heroes" is a good, fun online expierience... and "City of Villains", when combined with "CoH" tops that level of fun off. I have both so this review is only really relevent if you have both games as they play really well off of each other.
Let me start with the basics: character design. It is the same as CoH, yet there are more sinister costume pieces and as you progress further in level you uncover more interesting pieces like a larger variety of capes and such. Of course, with the new Veterans rewards comming out... capes will probably be replaced by the most anticipated wings. Still, the costume design is arguably my favorite feature of the game.
The hunting and missions are all rather decent although they are pretty much of the same vein as CoH... but the new Mayhem missions have a bit of excitement to them because you can destroy the surroundings to "alter" the area. You kidnap people... which actually equates to rescuing them but a small technicality like that equates to nothing big at all. The team ups can be pretty rewarding. Another fun aspect is that when a victim is destroyed, they fall like a real person would... as in dead weight.
The bad aspects of the game... the biggest being issues with lagging game play. If you spend too much time on, the game tends to get a little choppy and freezes. Also, the server for CoV tends to loose connection allot so that contributes to some frusteration.
Still, little things like that don't really detract all that much from the appeal of being a badder than bad guy. It is fun, creative, and sometimes... a little too adictive.
