Sounds like insufficient condenser flow, especially if it works well on the highway. My last hatch did the same. If the fan is working, it may just be that your condenser has too many bent / damaged fins. Try spraying water on the condenser with the car running and A/C on. If the A/C starts blowing cold, problem found.

There are a series of tests you can run on the A/C compressor to determine if it's in need of repair. They're outlined in the Honda service manual. If something is wrong with the A/C compressor, you can more likely than not fix or replace the faulty component. Replacing an entire A/C compressor when one component is bad is like replacing your entire distributor if your ignition coil goes out... i.e., a waste of money.
