Now let’s be honest, at one time in our lives we’ve all dreamed of being a super hero. Pulling on a cape and flying around saving helpless humans from the peril caused by those who choose to wreak havoc.
Fortunately for us budding heroes, the people at Sony Online Entertainment have teamed up with comic giants DC to produce what they are calling the next generation of MMORPG.The aptly named DC Universe Online let’s you suit up and take control of your very own super hero, or villain. Choose your allegiance wisely though, as your character will fight alongside, or against, some of the most famous and feared faces of the DC universe. Fan favorites Batman, Superman and The Joker will appear alongside a cast of over 80 classic DC characters. The game, however, is solely about you and your character, so all DC characters are non playable. You choose everything from the looks of your character, to what powers and weapons they will battle with throughout.

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."
