...I've had more fun watching educational TV.
User Rating: 5.7 | City of Villains PC
Now, I'm a diehard fan of City Of Heroes with a character on freedom server (@takingbackthelife, Hit Me Up) but when I bought City Of Villains I thought, "Wow, City Of Heroes, but EVIL". The sick reality I found was crushing. In the words of a certain evil docter, this game can be considered, quazi-evil, the diet-Coke of evil. One can only commit so many crimes with a T rating. Despite the myriad of new and awesome costume options that actually made the game semi-worthwhile, I found everyone followed a similar character design. Yuo were either the devil, a ripoff of one of the NPC gangmembers, or a hooded guy dressed in black. And, as with all evil counterparts, this was swarming with obnoxious kids who said things to make a copyright infringement lawyer weep. Also, there are so many low level player that drop out of the game early that it is incredibly laggy, and impossible to have a smooth fight. And don't get me STARTED on the powers. There is NO originallity othe rthen masterminds (which are cool), the rest of the powers are boring counterparts of their heroic origins. Ugh, buy it only for the superbases and cool costumes. This game is a LETDOWN.
