PI writes, "Well I have had a few days now in the Universe to get acquainted with some of the heroes as well as quite a few villains. From what I have been experiencing I can tell you that I am hooked. This comes as a pleasant surprise to me seeing that in the past I was not much of an MMO fan until this title hit my console....
...I hope you enjoy the first installment of This Week in the DC Universe. I will be bringing more from the MMO everybody is talking about from week to week and appreciate any feedback that comes in. Let me know what it is you want to see and hear about in next week's edition."

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."
interesting
Definitely one of the better MMO games out there....
This game is really good and to see a console MMO with an action gameplay style is great, let's me know we will be seeing a new breed of MMO.
I'm thinking weekly guides of this game from reviewers like this will get deeper and deeper each week.
I felt the same way, very hesitant going in, but now I'm hooked also, I can see myself playing this kind of MMO because it's catered to console gamers, I enjoy playing with a controller as opposed to a keyboard and mouse.
Hopefully DCUO is properly embraced by MMO and action fans alike. It will be a shame if it becomes a failure because it has a lot of potential.
