GameSpy writes: "Comic book fans and gamers are often one and the same, adoring both mediums with equal enthusiasm. A few years back, the cape-and-cowl crowd got their dream crossover game, City of Heroes, a PC MMOG that allowed them to carve their own path to superhero stardom. While that title provided its fair share of utility belts and codpieces, it was missing one key ingredient: established iconic superheroes. Thanks to the dream teaming of MMOG masterminds Sony Online Entertainment and comic book juggernaut DC, we'll finally get the opportunity to not only customize our own personal crime-fighters, but also thwart henchmen with the likes of Superman by our side."
Spiffy:
+Craft your own hero or villain with an intuitive yet deep set of abilities
+Unleashing your homemade hero in DC's iconic universe
Iffy:
-Not enough DC flavoring could leave it feeling like a City of Heroes clone

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."
