"During a recent visit to Sony Online Entertainment’s Austin Studio in Texas, El33tonline got to spend some quality hands-on time with DC Universe Online. Here’s our thoughts on how the game is shaping up.
When you think of an MMO the chances are that the name World of Warcraft pops into your head. That’s because WoW, as it has become affectionately known over the years, has become synonymous with the MMO genre, dominating it and making other MMO would-be developers quake in their boots. And so it was both brave and ambitious for Sony Online Entertainment to even consider this project, because venturing into a territory already dominated by another game must be a daunting task. Creating a game based on a popular comic book franchise is an even greater challenge, daunting in its own way because of the DC Universe comic book fans that would start an uprising if the smallest detail were found to be incorrect in this 75 year old universe."

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."
