Who says good guys never go bad? In Villainville, the newest expansion to Marvel's kid-friendly Super Hero Squad Online, players can do just that. Situated beyond the borders of the pleasant Super Hero City, Villainville is home to Doctor Doom's Lethal Legion and his evil minions, and within the dark city's walls and sewers, players go beyond merely fighting the bad guys -- they can become fallen versions of some of their favorite heroes, like Dark Surfer, Red Hulk, Iron Patriot, and Red She-Hulk. Players can also explore the all-new game world and jump into new missions like Abomination Obliteration and MODOK's Mo' Problems.
SHSO, which released last year complete with housing and a trading card game, is a F2P browser-based MMO that's heavy on the comic mischief and perfect for a quick superhero-flavored dungeon romp.

The problem with the game (aside from the lack of anything to do) is they should let free players grind for any hero they want with Silver. Instead, they lock free players out of them completely, so free players have no reason to stick around. If you want free players to become paying players, you have to encourage them to stay with the game.
i thought it was released this year? its a kids game, something for kids to play around with until they get old enough to play the marvel game they're making right now. free players (or parents) have to pay to make the game worthwhile though. by the time its ready to pay, a parent will know whether their kid(s) like it or not.
this expansion seems to be a good step to get kids to familiarize themselves with the villains.
