City of Villains is the second release in the "City of..." franchise from producers NCSoft. City of Villains allows you to wreak havoc as a supervillain, complete with special powers, stunning graphics and an engaging storyline.

As a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) you start out as a gifted criminal, breaking free from the maximum-security prison in Paragon City to escape to the Rogue Isles.

Playing as one of many different "archetypes", each with their own strengths and weaknesses, you work your way up in a dark and shadowy world ruled by the enigmatic Lord Recluse. Gaining special powers, arcane equipment and, if youy want, colleagues to team with along the way, you can become a force to be reckoned with that has the power to control not only this world but others in the universe!

Thoroughly recommended for people who like engaging storylines. Unlike other MMOs, this game can certainly be played by the occasional gamer, however with the mind boggling array of things to do, the more time you put in, the more you get out of it.
