    If you mooch for free off only one MMO this year, make it this one. [February 2014, p78]

    The best super-hero MMO out there and well worth the free download.

    Three years after its initial release, the fight against Brainiac still is entertaining and probably the best hack&slay of some sort until the arrival of Diablo 3. Since it is free-to-play the only thing you would waste is hard drive space, so give it a try.

    DC Universe Online is a title in its own way unique, not only because it is now one of the few MMORPGs available on consoles, but also because it is perhaps the only exponent of the superhero genre to have discrete character.

    Artistically it's a bit gaudy. [Feb 2014, p.87]

    DC Universe Online lacks the ‘pow’ of the properties that it’s inspired by, but it’s a decent enough MMO with some solid ideas and a strong following. As a free download, it’s hard not to recommend – even if you only intend to give it a try.

I've tried a few different builds I do wish there was some sort of training area where you could play with builds without having to go through the into again but still fun. Lots of options when building from style, weapon, magic, etc. Still figuring out the stores and details of the game but the mechanics are good and its a fun game overall. True the graphics won't blow you away but as others have mentioned its a port and the fact that its free and fun make it worth it for me. Expand

The only reason that I can't give it a top three score is because they waisted this concept on an mmo. Should this game be a single player rpg, I could not bring bring myself to play any other game.

Legendary memberships have almost completely lost all value and the devs don't seem to care. Speaking of the devs they are completely out of touch with the players which leads to ridiculous problems that could have easily been avoided.

    Time Capsules and Replay Badges are their big money makers. The marketplace hasn't been updated in forever, PvP is a joke with flavor of the month powers ruling all. There's no need to level since you can just skip the whole story and end game is mainly running the same two raids over (this is where Replay Badges come into play) and over hoping that RNGeebus smiles down upon you.

    If really wanna play this game go premium and only buy the episodes you want that way you don't waste $15 on episodes you probably wont even touch. DC went from a fun game to a game that feels more like a job so if you want a game that feels like a job that you pay to work at then this is the game for you.

    I went premium 8 months ago and will soon be leaving once Stormblood goes live. By the way this is coming from a DC Universe Online beta player. Moneygrabs are this games present and future. Stay away and save your money.

I am talking, Superman 64, Aquaman 64 , E.T. bad. The only single redeeming "quality" is the top notch voice acting. And that's only good thing about this game. This game belongs , in the very same place they dug up those E.T. cartridges in desert. This game should have never, been conceived period. As a matter of fact , this game gives anything DC Comics related? A permanent "black eye" this also explains why the new 52 came and went, and ultimately failed. I wouldn't wish this game , on my worst enemy? Check that, actually I would. The worst thing is that you could ever do, is download and play this game. It's a complete and utter , waste of time. And that's the TRUTH! Expand
