Most people enjoy City of Heroes and City of Villians. At least for a while. I own both games, and both games play pretty much the same. The classes are virtually identicle, except that instead of the "Defender" you have the "Mastermind". The game has added features since release, from bases and lairs to unlockable classes and the ability to store several costumes. But overall, this great concept falls short of expectations.
The game is basically an action RPG. You do various randomly generated missions, get experience and influence (which is money) then get more abilities. Do this a few hundred times or so and you've built your character as powerful as it will ever be.
Honestly, this game will show you everything there is to see within the first few days. Though it may sound harsh, there are plenty of single player games out there with more replayability. Even with the newest additions that help the game, there isn't enough depth for an MMO you pay $15/month for.

Consider my rating 4 1/2 stars.
The character creation is still the best of any MMO despite being 3+ years old and gives COH unlimited replay value on the character creation alone. But the best part of COH are the devoted developers. I have never played another MMO that had as devoted developers as City of Heroes does! They constantly come out with free expansions and are always doing things that improve the game. Honestly, COH was only a 4 star game when it came out but because of the devoted developers it has gone up to 4 1/2. The reality in the new MMO world is people play many different MMOs now and very few exclusively but which ones do they keep going back to? There are only a few games that people keep going back to and City of Heroes is one of them, especially when you get an inspiration for a new character.

I got this game around November/December last year, and although I enjoyed the game, I wished someone had warned me about a few things before I bought it, so I decided to write a review to do just that. Note that this is just MY experience, yours might be entirely different.
Let's start with the good. The character creation is simply wonderful. It's one of the (in my opinion) most fun aspects of gameplay. I love creating a character, shaping their origin and powers, etc. Oodles and oodles of fun, a veritable barrel full of snazzy monkeys. The game itself is a lot of fun as well, letting you live out childhood fantasies of flying about and being adored by the defenseless populace as you take down hordes of nefarious villians. The evil you face is varied and creative, and the missions are usually pretty interesting (although I get the urge to throttle someone the second I hear the words "bank mission"). The graphics are fantastic as well - I once thought about playing in "safe mode"
