The most iconic superheroes and villains together under one roof
If your dream has been to fight crime alongside Superman, or sprinting behind Flash, DC Universe Online is the ideal game for fun online with the most popular cartoons.
As is tradition in RPGs, the first step is to create a hero from scratch, picking your arsenal and abilities. If you decide to fight on the side of justice, the iconic Wonder Woman will be your mentor in the virtual world; otherwise you will have to follow the advice of Lex Luther to turn your character around a villain.
DC Universe Online is a game with a great dose of action, and unlike World of War craft you can fire your weapon by pressing the mouse buttons. The superheroes are characterized by making special attacks and this game is no exception, just remember to be aware of the power bar on the screen.
The character animation, incredible visual effects and control of superheroes guarantee hours of fun online, however, sooner or later the game loses its initial appeal. As you increase your level you can spend points on new combos to improve your performance in combat and make every fight in a spectacular duel, however, to reach level 30 leave to gain experience.
It is very easy to connect blows with style, but the tracking system will become an adversary to defeat, and that allows you to freely select your next target. Every time you have to fight for justice or the forces of evil, will be necessary to press the attack button and hope for the best automated system.
To give a touch of variety to the game play and combat monotony, DC Universe Online allows your virtual alter ego uses six skills inspired by the most iconic superheroes and villains. The character voices are perfectly integrated into the virtual world, the heroes and villains from low range to the leaders of right and wrong. Everything is included with a pattern reminiscent of a comic book, with the difference that develops in high-definition consoles.
The missions of the heroes are not as spectacular as we’d like, and usually consist of going from one place to another following the orders of a complete stranger. On the contrary, the destruction that characterizes the activities of the villains to awaken your interest.
Whichever way you choose, you can visit the dark Gotham City and even amazed with the skyscrapers of Metropolis with your friends online. But if so solitary play, the characters of the opposite side does not represent a major challenge in combat.
Play on PC is a strange experience, as if the menus were designed to navigate using a traditional control, however, the version of PlayStation 3 is suffering some technical problems when the screen is full of characters. Voice chat is good when it works, and if you look carefully, you will notice that some textures take too long to load.
The virtual universe of DC Universe Online is not a place as vast as that of other online games, but it is an ideal choice for anyone looking to fight the most popular characters from DC Comics.
