City of Villains Collector's Edition (DVD) review:
1 stars (Too many bugs to enjoy) - I like the idea of playing a villian and playing with better graphics that WOW has too offer. But the main and only two problems are the constant disconnects and half the video screen which is barbled (or tearing) on my laptop. Now I have two systems one is an alienware with a nvidia card and the laptop a dell xps with a ati mobility. I made sure everything is upgraded and tweak too work with most games. But there is nothing I can do if COV is having compatibilty issues with the ati mobility card as stated in their website (still being worked on). The tech support technician states that the problem is with my system and and ISP. I play other online games and I will definitly know if there is a problem with my ISP (not) so I decided it is best to cancel my subscription since I cannot enjoy the game and have next to nil on getting any help from tech support. I do not know what high end system is needed or what else must be tweaked. All I can say COV is a nice concept and nice graphics but I guess it all depends on what high end PC system you are using. I wish you better luck in enjoying the game.
5 stars (It's good to be bad!) - 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.
