Abstract: DC Universe Online is, in case you’ve been living under a rock without any access to comic books or technology for the last few years. The long-awaited MMO based on DC Comics. It was cobbled together by the online gaming experts at Sony Online Entertai...
Abstract: Sony Online Entertainment's massively multiplayer take on one of comic books' richest and most iconic backdrops has finally gone live, and it's targeting some vastly different audiences with its dual PC and PS3 releases. We've enlisted games journalist...
Abstract: Ever since Sony's announcement about their online division working on an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) based on the DC Universe, fans have had their spandex out and been ready to join the fight. DC Universe Online has finally ...
I wish I loved DC Universe Online, but instead I just like it. It's got a lot going for it -- a great license, some superb voice actors, a lot of well-crafted settings, fast action-based combat, and an entire market of people who, so far, have barely b...

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.
Fun combat and great looks make DC Universe Online entertaining for a while, though various limitations keep it from being a long-term destination. ...
DC Universe Online looks and plays as good as any MMO at launch to date, "DCUO" combines the very best of superhero action with MMO gameplay, Some of the best level design I've ever seen in an online game, very little "grinding", "DCUO" sports deeper story and interesting characters earlier on than most games, Pretty and flexible, "DCUO" is the ultimate superhero sandbox
Clearly PC designers were in charge of the wonky menu system, bigger text and less menus please, Communication needs work, voice and text options are confusing and difficult to use well, I know it's an MMO, but same console multiplayer (sidekick?) would have been grand, No cross platform play means you sadly won't be playing against PC "DCUO" superheroes and villains, No $199 lifetime subscriptio
Abstract: It's all the rage in the film industry: Take a prominent series of comic books (ahem, "graphic novels"), and give it a gritty reboot. Then, watch the money come pouring in. Well, DC Comics and Sony Online Entertainment see no reason this formula couldn...
