Awesome concept carried out decently. The combat is good and is mostly fluid, and PvP is a lot of fun. The quests can get a bit dull, but they break the regular MMO grind by throwing in boss fights every few missions and lots of rewards for exploration and story completion. The story itself is decent enough, especially in Gotham where you take on Bane and Scarecrow. The only major flaw in the story is the HORRENDOUS voice acting for the Brainiac characters and most of the cops in the nightclubs and police stations. The voice acting on those characters is so laughably awful it completely breaks immersion and sometimes actually makes me laugh aloud. However I will say that the voice acting on the hero and villain NPCs (Joker, Superman, etc.) is fantastic. It's really awesome to fight alongside Batwoman to take down Scarecrow, or Superman to take down the Brainiac horde. There are also some annoying things that should be addressed:

1) When flying/running near enemies, if they attack you just once it slows your movement speed drastically, making navigating the city below the rooftops nearly impossible.

2) Sometimes stun abilities just won't work on certain enemies with no explanation as to why. There was a boss fight in which we fought Power Girl and she was regular size, no outstanding special abilities, but was completely immune to being stunned or knocked down, which was annoying because my character was control and that's the entire point of my build.

3) The flow of melee attacks can be awkward at times, mostly due to desync between players.

4) Enemies that have stun and knockdown use it CONSTANTLY, and you have to sit there spamming shift to get out of it.

Overall I give the game 7.5 out of 10, and would give it an 8 if they patched some of the player desync issues.

ALSO, forgot to mention, the game has a decent community and a lot of older players are helpful to new players.

This game is a brilliant MMO-RPG.Not like Marvel Heroes you can make your own hero or villain.You can help Superman or Lex Luthor.It's your choice to help who, if you love batman,joker,superman,lex luthor,green lantern.sinestro and many more you will love this game.It's free to play and the updates come out weekly.Every special event like Christmas or Easter DC Universe online makes the game look like Christmas and Easter.Well i don't know what else to say but to day it is a brilliant game and should be played by more people and many you can even play it.there are some bugs but they get fixed so quick!

9/10 Great game

Great Game would reccomend to anyone who likes DC Super Heroes.

Do you like dc?
Do you like creating your own hero or villian?
Do you like paying monthly for the "AWESOME STUFF"? I DONT

Yes i reccomend this game but, in order to get all DLC's ("free") and unlimited in-game cash and unlimited characters you need to pay $14.99 a month or $120 year.
In my opinion this sucks BUT!!!!
AMAZING GAME! heros villians facing each other! fighting cool and uniquue bosses and enemies! PVP! dueling! LOOT! AMAZING CUSTOMIZATION! AND FINALLY... FREE!! (not including monthly payment)

I woud like to add more

::: 3/19/2014 Update:::

The game has a Kinda short story and multipiple endings (batman, supes, wonder woman) each with differet quests and rewards) Along with that once lvl 30 (max) you are weak. REALLLY WEAK. So you need to improve somthing called combat rating by doing duo or single challenges. BUT!!! in order to do tier 2 to unlock t2 armor you NEED dlc's. WONDERFUL! yea not so much.

I only reccomend because it is still an amazing game for free

hope that helped! i basically review everygame that i think im ready to review

Awesome. One of my favorites. As a lover of DC and Video Games, I give this a 10/10.

One of the most fluid combat and movement systems in any MMO to date. A remarkable balance between gear dependancy and flexible, action-based combat makes the game progressively more interesting as you fight your way through a variety of well designed maps and boss mechanics. However, the skill system may seem rather simplistic at times.

Content is plenty, often you may find yourself re-running certain raids and instances for marks and specific gear but the polished combat system makes this experience anything but a grind.

There is a good amount of character customisation and an impressive amount of clothing items ranging from casual, iconic to just plain wacky. This combined with a wide range of power sets allows you to make a character specific to you.

A caveat: The free to play model of this game is severly limited. Bank space, inventory, money (all of which necessary for a comfortable progression) are restricted to a point of frustration, especially as you enter harder raids, where a single potion (soda) can entirely drain your bank balance. While it is possible to individually increase these assets, doing so, and buying the many content DLCs, will cost upwards of $100 or a $15 a month subscription.
