  GameSpy: City of Villains Review
Really more than an expansion, but not quite on the scope of an original title, City of Villains builds greatly on City of Heroes gameplay, and is arguably the most fun "new" MMO we've played this year.
City of Villains takes place in the Rogue Isles, a legally independent archipelago somewhere west of Paragon City (the setting for City of Heroes).
Instead of defusing a bomb in an office building populated by the villainous Freakshow, they'll be planting a bomb in an office building populated by the heroic Wyvern archers.

He was on hand showcasing his upcoming sequel/companion title City of Villains, which, as the name implies focuses on the “other” side of the costumed coin.
The actual city in City of Villains is a chain of islands in the Atlantic Ocean outside of any territorial waters (particularly those of the United States — outside of the jurisdiction of the costumed folks in Paragon City).
City of Villains will have eleven zones that tell a story through the gameplay and it is this backdrop that provides the foundation of what helps to make City of Heroes different from many other MMOs today.

City of Villains will not require that you own City of Heroes to play, but some interactions between the two games will not be available.
The villains will live on the Rogue Isles, a group of seven islands that are controlled by the evil Lord Recluse, but which are considered a sovereign nation by the UN (making it illegal for heroes to just go and blow up, despite being a hotbed of criminal activity).
Villains tend to try and get hired to do jobs, or do things in order to increase their own powers, and the missions in City of Villains will reflect that line of thinking.

City of Heroes was a creative twist from the traditional MMORPG world.
The typical day in the life of a villain includes the type of nefarious deeds you would expect with missions ranging from kidnapping, bank robberies, and clashes with superheroes.
