This is the game we've been waiting for since the day we learned we could pull on tights, don a mask and fight crime with powers we could only dream of! Now, we get to finally let our dark side run rampant through the streets!
All the joy of "Heroes", with sinister eyebrows and crooked hats. [Christmas 2005, p.100]
Those expecting a wildly different gameplay experience will be disappointed. Those who expect to play City of Heroes with a darker setting, evil looking characters and a meaner narrative will love it. It's good to be bad.
It might not be the super-villain game of our dreams (that was probably "Evil Genius"), but given the nature of MMOs, it's probably the best we're going to get until someone decides to really push the online genre to its very limits. [PC Zone]
I was looking at City of Villains to fix many of the problems that plagued last year’s City of Heroes. Unfortunately it was not able to do so and as a result, many of the positives and negatives of that title transferred to this.
A competent massively multiplayer online RPG, but not a radical departure from "City of Heroes."
The game definitely takes its place in the halls of infamy as one of the single most thrilling MMO experiences out there now. The raw catharsis of robbing banks, kidnapping innocents, and basically acting naughty in a virtual world while dressed up as the result of getting Jack Kirby and Stan Lee stoned-- there's little out there that beats it.
