City of Villains Reviews

Both Game Chronicles and SciFi.com have kicked up new reviews of NCsoft and Cryptic Studios' City of Villains. Game Chronicles gave the game an overall score of 8.2/10:
The solid gameplay found in City of Heroes hasn't changed much for its trip to the Rogue Isles, but new classes ease the similarities. Strong PvP aspects add a lot of extra value to the game - if you don't mind getting yanked left and right from time to time. And the newspaper mission procurement system is pure genius. Although it doesn't fix all of the problems City of Heroes had, City of Villains definitely puts a fresh new spin on the formula. It's a good choice for both casual and dedicated gamers, and should provide most people with entertainment for months, if not years, to come.

And SciFi.com gave the game an overall score of "A-":
All in all, CoV is a terrific MMORPG, whether it is played as a standalone game or as an expansion of CoH.
