Pros

Travel powers are fun.
Actionpacked combat is fun from the start, Both Metropolis and Gotham City look great, Beautiful comicbook cutscenes punctuate story missions, Changing gear doesn't mean you have to change your looks.

Cons

Very little content for an MMO; monotonous grind; wonky interface from top to bottom.
You reach the level cap and stop earning new powers incredibly quickly, A variety of interface and voice chat issues, Combat and missions get predictable, Not enough content to keep you invested beyond the free month.

Will you keep playing?Tom: Absolutely. Gladly. Enthusiastically. Even though character advancement for me has slowed and arguably turned into what you might call a grind, DC Universe remains a sort of comfort food action game. Log in, do a few short...

Many believe that passing judgement on an MMO at its release is unfair given that games of this nature tend to be expanded on by its developer on a regular basis. One that’s bad at launch therefore can be salvaged in time....

Judging an MMO within its first month on sale is a bit like critiquing architecture based on blueprints and floor plans. While Sony has laid the foundations, as with any MMO, construction is far from complete. If Sony deliver on their promise of...

Corporations know that some people will snatch up any piece of junk with properly branded packaging. Stamp a Star Trek logo on a box and the product inside could be, well, Star Trek Online... and a sizable number of people will still willingly dole...

DC Universe Online is a tough game to give a final overall score to. On one hand, the culture and history surrounding these characters and places is so well-established that stepping into their world feels like coming home in so many ways, such as...
