Like Batman's Joker or Superman's Luthor, NCSoft's extraordinary superhero MMO City of Heroes has found its perfect foil in the amazing City of Villains . Read more
- PvP is incredibly fun; base-building adds a whole new level of gameplay; improved costume design system; great new MasterMind class; superb art direction.
- Some class imbalances; arena system needs to be overhauled; needs more missions; not solo-friendly.

In City of Villains, you can strap on your evil attire and cause destruction throughout the city, destroying any measly citizen that dares cross your path. Read more

When it comes down to enjoyment level, if you enjoyed City of Heroes then I don’t see any reason for you to dislike the dark side of the force. While the missions are repetitive and linear, all you need to do to spice them up is play with a few friends, whether you met them in or out of the game. The graphics and sound aren’t anything to praise the Lord for, but they do their job. Read more
