GameSpy Writes:
Last week at E3, Sony Online Entertainment talked some big talk about DC Universe Online, but it wasn't available for play. That honor was saved for the guests of Comic-Con, and by the looks of the crowds piling into Sony's booth, they weren't disappointed.
DCUO is a completely action-based online game for both PS3 and PC. Unlike traditional online RPGs, which require you to target an enemy and then calculate your chance to hit based on the stats of your character, DCUO is all about player skill. You aim at targets on the fly, as in a first-person shooter. And because of the game's physics engine is so robust, players have a lot of options when it comes to manipulating the world. Want to freeze your enemy into a block of ice, slide him down a hill, then throw a bus at him while he's pinned in a blind alley? Go for it. The gameplay encourages heroism.

WTMG's Thomas Medina: "As far as I’m concerned, console MMOs have always been in a weird place. PC is where the main game is most popular. MMOs were born there, work best there, and have the vast majority of titles. Mobile is then next in line, with touchscreens and portability that adds something new while functioning well. Console gaming, on the other hand, is not portable (for the most part). Plus, it uses a controller, which is not the best instrument when your control scheme requires a thousand buttons and a cursor. That being said, there is an audience, and where there’s money to be made, publishers find a way. So here we are with some of the biggest console MMO games and how I feel they handled 2021. "
From Xfire: "A lot of video games are designed to make players feel like a superhero. However, very few actually feature superheroes or have players take on the role of a superhero. What makes this even worse is that there are even fewer superhero video games that can be considered good."
