City of Heroes and City of Villains for Windows

Has anyone here played City of Heroes or City of Villains for Windows? Does
it play well on Vista? What did you think of the game overall? Thanks.

CoH and CoV is celebrating their 5th anniversery this week, it's a really
fun game, little bit of a learning curve, but it's a lot of fun.

I've played it off and on for 5 years, mostly off, but I was playing this
week and the game runs just fine in Vista. You can download the client
online, might have to run it as admin, but it has no problems that I
could see.

If you have a nVidia 8x00+ video card the game supports physX physics
acceleration, so cloth effects look really nice.

Best part is just making super heroes, their costume customization
options are amazing, and really fun to play with. You can make your own
Missions now and players can rate your mission, give feedback, etc. it's
really amazing.

Champions ONline is coming out soon, it looks to be good as well (same
company designed/created both, but has long since abandoned City of
Heroes to NCSoft, but NCSoft has put a lot of support into CoH)

Thanks. Are they offering anything special for the anniversary?

I bought the game, but are you saying it's free now?

Do you have to have finished the game through before you're allowed to
design missions/levels?

Thanks.
