Synopsis

We join our hero perched atop a granite gargoyle high above the city of Gotham. His eyes squint as he monitors the streets below, searching for crooked criminal conduct. From afar, he hears the alarm from Gotham National Bank and he dives from the darkness into the illumination of the streets. He soars through the canyon of skyscrapers, hearing the buzz of the citizens below that he has chosen to protect. He sees the bank is only a block away — just then a burst of red passes him to join in the fray. As the two heroes approach the crime scene, they hear the creepy cackling of The Joker. This will not be a run-of-the-mill fight for justice, but then again — what is, in the DC Universe?

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Fun, but Gets Repetitive Quickly, January 27, 2011
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: DC Universe Online Collector's Edition (DVD-ROM)
I wasn't a beta tester, and I'm not a MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game) expert.
When I play a game, it comes down to how much fun I had playing. The graphics, the music, the controls are all a part of that, but ultimately, it comes down to the experience.
In the case of DCU Online, it becomes very repetitive very quickly. Nearly every mission is "beat up generic bad guys before beating up iconic bad guys." This isn't necessarily a bad thing if the fighting is fun (which it is, at first). But even with the unlocked skill sets that allow for more complex combos and flashier moves, the lack of variety in the fights eventually takes a toll, and it becomes a chore.

Also, while the interface is usable but clunky, my main gripe is that it makes it difficult to team up with other players. The reason I choose to play MMORPGs to begin with is because I enjoy playing with others (or seeing others run around when I want to go solo: it makes the in-game world seem lively). In DCU Online, it seems that I'm only able to team up with people in the immediate vicinity, and am only able to communicate with people who are on my (hero or villain) side. As such, the game feels surprisingly dead at times.

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the fight mechanics of this game (for anyone who's played Batman: Arkham Asylum (great game, highly recommended), it's similar: melee attack, distance attack, block, and a variety of special skills 1-8). I appreciate the fact that the game is updated nearly ever week with improvements. I appreciate the thoughtful, intricate level design (the developers must have hired architects from detail in the two in-game cities). I appreciate the fact that they got Mark Hamill and Kevin Conway to do the voices. The music could be better, the graphics are nice to look at, and I don't mind paying $15 a month to continue playing provided that a game is really fun.

But DCU online starts off strong and within 10 hours (a very short amount of time for MMORPGs) becomes routine. If it was possible, I'd like to have rented this game.

On the collectors edition: you're paying more for a plastic statue, an in-game item (a mini joker blimp or mini batmobile that hovers by your character's shoulder and shoots at your target), a small sized comic, and a poster. I'm on the fence as to whether these things are worth an extra $30.


-------

Update: 2/3/2011

After 20+ more hours of play, I'm sticking to my original 3 star rating: the missions are nearly identical, but there is player vs. player (PVP) either in the arenas or in selected servers to vary things up a bit. For the PVP arenas, however, there is often a wait before you're able to enter and the time you spend waiting seems to be random (from as little as 5 minutes to over an hour).

Also, the interface isn't the most user friendly. You can make a group with people by typing: "/invite" and their name, just as you could privately message people with "/tell". It's functional, but I would have preferred to do these same things by selecting people off a server list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Literally one of the best MMORPG's I've ever played in my life. Action, Adventure, Story, this game has it all. A+++!!!, April 24, 2011

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: DC Universe Online Collector's Edition (DVD-ROM)
I have dreamed of something like this game all my life. Going back to the day when I'd play the Marvel board game (Like D&D but with Marvel.), and we'd make up DC character sheets to go with it. LOL Some video games have come close to capturing the magic of the DC Universe, but most allowed you to take control of and BE Batman and Superman, etc... This game, instead, allows you to make your OWN hero, and then fight alongside with and work with all your favorite DC heroes and heroines or villains. And it's not just the action which is good. And it IS good. Incredible powers to choose from (And they'll add more all the time.), combined with weapons and movement abilities that all do their own things, all that combines to make a unique and action filled game play experienc. But it also has, at it's heart, a GREAT story, with adventures written by some of the best writers in the business.
Short and sweet, bottom line, it's a great game. As they're working out the bugs that ALL games start with, the game is just getting better and better, and that includes additional content, which will be steadily and continuously added. I love this game, and have been able to play, and most importantly, ENJOY playing, for months now. I haven't gotten tired of it at all. I can't play as much as I like because I'm sick and motion makes that worse, but when I can play, I LOVE it.
I'f you're a fan of MMO style games, then give this one a try. It's one of the best. In addition, this Collector's Edition is LOADED with extra goodies. The Batman statue ALONE is worth the price! It's gorgeous! And there are several comic and art books to add to your collection about the making of and back story of the game. If you love comics and the DC Universe, do NOT miss out on this game. Give it a try, I don't think you'll regret it.
Thanks sincerely for your time folks. R.A. McDowell

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game, Collector's edition excellent quality, January 27, 2011
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: DC Universe Online Collector's Edition (DVD-ROM)
I've bought and played lots of MMO's and this one was amazing from the time I opened the box. The packaging was very high quality, what they added to the collector's edition was well worth the additional money. Over all the game is fun, easy to pick up, and engaging. It's well worth the investment. The only think I would caution about is to make sure you got everything in the box that was supposed to be included. The collector's edition is supposed to come with a buddy key inside the packaging and mine did not. Not critical, but it is disappointing when you'd like to get one of your friends involved. Apparently this is not an uncommon issue with purchases from Amazon if the Sony Online Forums are to be believed.
