GameCloud starts the day off with some impressions on Cryptic Studios' upcoming City of Heroes stand-alone expansion, City of Villains. Here's a nugget on the game starts out:

Now that you have your super villain character, the game then takes you to its tutorial program which appropriately puts your villain smack dab in the middle of a prison break. City of Heroes players can breeze through this but newcomers should also have an easy time of it as well as they learn how to use power, enhancements and more. That prison break in the tutorial was staged by super villain leader Arachnos and once you get through it you head to the Rogue Isles. Unlike the sunny and trash free intro sections of City of Heroes, City of Villains takes places in a bombed out dock city that really needs some urban development.
