DC Universe Online

DC Universe Online is ground-breaking; it's innovative and downright addictive.

Accessible for console gamers and vital for the comic fan. If you're prepared to pay subs, get it. [Mar 2011, p.79]

Solid and captivating for old MMO hands. For new comers, not so much. [Mar 2011, p.90]

DC Universe Online is a good game, one that can appeal to both MMO and comic fans. On Consoles there's nothing better, and if you plan on playing it on a Ps3 it's well worth the monthly fee. Not so much on PC's though, where there's a lot of strong competitors, and Sony's title is a bit too repetitive and bugged to come out on top. Still, it's the best superhero themed MMO on the market and it has a lot of potential. If you love comics give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

An action-packed MMO, with some important flaws that must be corrected if Sony wants to appeal a vast audience. Controls can become an issue if you play it on PC and quests are a bit too much on the grinding side, but the combat system and the customization options are fun. With some improvements this game could find its own place in the MMO jungle.

But especially on the PS3, the menus and various engine bugs really make it tough to justify the initial purchase (with one free month of gameplay), much less the eventual monthly fee.

Thanks to its disastrous mess of a user interface, DCUO is unplayable for anyone lacking superheroic patience. SOE, SCE and DC Comics have colluded in an attempt to foist a dreadful and amateurish product onto comic book and MMO enthusiasts.

This game is great, the controls for the PS3 were great, easy to play and do missions, very good for that is not ultra-fan of MMO, the criaçãode character is a bit limited, but no more worlds are great and the skills and powers as well .. Super recommended

Open world is barren. Have to grind to get anything decent. Collectables are too difficult to get. The game lost the plot. Voice acting is pretty good. Roles are fun. Everything before reaching Level 30 feels exciting.

For this review I'm going to go through all the things that happened during my playtime in dc universe online. 1) Download The initional download was nothing extreme, about the same for most downloads. However the first time ou load up the game it does another download that took me 8 hours. Then I had to go through another 3hour update the next month. 2) Screen Size I first played the game on a small tv screen. This meant I couldn't see the text properly and had to either stand too close to the screen or refer to the wiki. I now have a much larger screen and no longer have this problem. 3) Combat The game is not like your standard RPG combat system as it revolves around combos and quick reflexes. This is perfect in a game trying to make you feel like a badass. To give yu an idea of this, one of the first powers you get on the gadget class Is the ability to throw a sticky grenade at enemies. 4) Charachter Customisation This is where the game really shines. So far my characters have been iron man, insane rich man in a neon green suit, guy from watch dogs and (my favourite) pink fat man with eyepatch and ginger Afro wearing a bongadge suit. Sadly most female Charachter look like they are auditioning for a wet shirt contest. 5) Mission Variety Sadly missions are just limited to kill *instert enemy*, collect *instert item obtained from enemy/ground*, interact with *insert some thing that goes away when you hold O* and fight *insert DC Charachter It gets boring after a while. 6) Teams NEVER JOIN A TEAM UNLES YOUR WITH A FRIEND. I teamed up with someone and we both ended up with each others weapons that were supposed to help us. Now we both have a useless weapon and one that is too weak for the enemies we are fighting.

Excited for a console MMO I gave it a try, along with a group of friends. None of us played for longer than a week before agrreing this is a **** a subscription game this is godawful. Level 30 limit is a joke, locations are empty and dull, quests are boring and feel like chores. Take the night-club bases as an example; no matter which one you are in, the layout is an exact clone of the others. Social features have also been poorly integrated imo, making this much, much more painful than it is worse. The only positive attribute I can find is the inclusion of many iconic characters and the voice acting, which is truly awesome. For a short romp it might be alright, but as an mmo with a high life expectation - FAIL (imho).

Pedazo de basura de juego. QUIZÁS en PC pueda llegar a ser entretenido pero en PlayStation 3? Una basura, repetitivo, con muchos bugs, la diversión se acaba después de crear tu personaje.
