As a conversion, Villains doesn't feel finished. As a sequel, it's simply not enough. But judged alone on its gameplay and design merits, it's a rip-roaring blast.
The second is at The Gamers' Temple with an overall score of 86%:
OK, so maybe City of Villains doesn't make you feel totally evil or villainous. This doesn't mean that it's not a lot of fun to play. Even though there is repetition to the missions, you'll still look forward to jumping into your next one. Building a supervillain and carefully configuring his or her power set will keep you logging back into the game again and again. If you tried City of Heroes and did not like it or really do not enjoy MMORPGs, then City of Villains won't appeal to you. If you've enjoyed MMORPGs in the past, then it is worth your time to give it a try. Finally, if you're a City of Heroes player then it is hard to think of a reason why you wouldn't want to complete the experience with City of Villains.
And the third is at The Bovine Conspiracy with an overall score of 7/10:
Even with all of its shortcomings City of Villains is a fun game, mostly because of the atmosphere and the experience of being able to be evil. It is a one of a kind game and the huge amount of character options make it so that you can create just about any character you want. But in the end it comes down to grinding out the levels and the lack of endgame really hinder things. On the other hand you do have the new PVP experience and the new missions and new areas create some variety, you also have some epic battles with heroes and other arch villains during missions which can be fun. So I say give it a try for what it is. Just don't plan to be playing it a long time, unless you like creating a lot of different characters.
