An online game that is as fast paced as the superhero world. Check out what powers this game posses.

DCUO is a an action MMO game that let’s you be the hero/villain. So many games out there are based on characters we know and love from the DC Universe, but that doesn’t let YOU be the hero. The player is experiencing it through someone else’s eyes. The creators of DCUO are changing all that. The player first decides what team to be on: superheroes or villains. Then you get to pick a character you want to emulate. As the game progresses, that character will give you special outfits, armor and weapons because they are proud of you and think you are doing a good job. This is who your character becomes the next legend. You get to play along side DC favorites such as the Joker (voiced by Mark Hamill), Batman (voiced by Kevin Conroy), Wonderwoman, Superman and more.

Whether a person is saving or conquering the universe, the levels are all places in the DC franchise world. I got to play in the Batcave which was fun. The overall graphics look amazing and crisp. I experienced the PS3 version since I am not a PC gamer. I did see the PC version next to me and they looked very sharp as well. Playing as Harley Quinn, I got to see just how fast the action is in this game. It is like fighting game, but as a MMO. We were capturing bases and beating the crap put of each other. The controls were easy to get use to and the different moves were endless. Seriously, Harley has some sick attacks. Actually every player had some wicked attacks. I would like to make my own villain and fit along with her though. That seems like the one of the biggest selling points for me.

The player can also embark on story-driven adventures created by famous DC writers including Geoff Johns and Marv Wolfman. It seems the game has many layers of fun to be had by all. The game will be available to purchase in the beginning of November. The game is for PC and PS3 and will cost $59.99 plus a monthly fee of around $14.99. I was a bit turned off by that because you don’t have to pay a monthly fee for Halo 3 or COD but then again, they aren’t just MMO’s. My guide Michael assured me that there will be many updates and DLC to keep you happy. I hope so. And of course there will be a store to buy merch for your character. Got to get that money!

It was a lot of fun for the ten minutes I got to play it and would be really interested playing with my own character. I did play against other people and that was enjoyable. The appeal is there and it might just be the superhero MMO we have been waiting for.
