5.0 out of 5 stars It's good to be bad!, November 2, 2005
By Martin A. Shaffer (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
If you enjoyed City of Heros you will enjoy City of Villains. New Achetypes and powers, new costumes and new areas to explore all add to the flavor of being a bad guy. Many of the powers are duplicates of the hero's powers, but that shouldn't really be a surprise, what is nice is they are combined in different ways requiring different styles of play to achieve your goals. There are subtle but important differences to playing a villain which bring hours of fun. City of Heros also introduces bases which can be built by the players once they have gained enough influance. Putting your very own torture chamber into the dungeon is hard to beat. Another good point for this game, you only have to pay for one subscription to play City of Heros or City of Villains. So what are you waiting for, release your inner megalomaniac and join the villains in crushing those self rightous do-gooders and make a few bucks on the side.

4.0 out of 5 stars City of Heroes/Villains, June 13, 2006
By Mark A. Warren "NezziR" (Nashville, Tn. USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
I think that I fall in the middle of the previous reviews. I am a veteran MMO player starting with the Ultima Online beta test so many years ago. I haven't played them all, but I've played a lot of them.

The most popular game on the market now is World of Warcraft. Its smooth interface, superb art direction, and easy game play attract many players. But, like any MMO it gets boring after you reach the top and start grinding high end content. Enter City of Heroes/Villains.

City of Heroes/Villains is not quite the polished game that WoW is, but it has some very compelling elements. While the back ground stories and world may not be as rich, they are better than most MMOs on the market. I played CoH when it was released, then went to WoW. When I became bored with WoW I tried other games, but being spoiled by Blizzards production value I found them lack luster. Not so CoH. I can still play this game without feeling the grind too bad.

CoH has a quick mission (quest) system that gets you in the fight quickly. It has a group matching system that quickly easily allows you to find other players to do missions with. In my opinion this is better than WoW. No running around LFG (Looking for Group) to find players to adventure with. The interface makes it quick and easy and people use it.

Most missions are short and can be done quickly. You can usually be in and out in :30 to an hour. There are longer chained missions (called task forces) for those that like longer games and greater challenges.

There are no "Magic Items" to pick up. Rewards come in the form of "Inspirations" (temporary buffs), Enhancements (permanent augmentations for your super powers), and Influence (like money - used to buy alternate costumes and custom augmentations for your super powers).

The power sets are many and compelling. The travel powers are interesting. They are comprised of Super Jump, Flight, Teleport, and Super Speed. All are fun (particularly Super Jump) and get you places fast. Not only that, they are fun to use and explore with.

CoH/CoV has a lot to offer MMO fans. I would consider it the number 2 MMO on the market and I highly recommend it if you need a break from the fantasy genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars to gamer7, December 5, 2005
By mike (DC, Maryland) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
my computer had the same video problem when issue 5 was released. on the main CoH screen where u log on there was a message that said my vid card drivers were old and it may not function properly. i have a radeon 9800 pro and i downloaded the 5.1 catalyst drivers and everything worked fine after that :D.

anyways CoV is an awesome game. new maps, cool new missions, powers, archetypes, costumes galore! love it.
