In my view, there isn’t enough information on the web about some of the awesome free stuff Playstation 3 owners can download from the store, so I thought I would take this opportunity to jot down some thoughts and info, on the rather cool MMORPG (Massively multiplayer online role-playing game) that is DC Universe Online.
If you haven’t played this genre of game before, it’s basically an RPG (Play as a character, complete quests, level up etc.) but played in an environment with other players, these players can help you in your questing, or you can battle against them in PvP mode. There are numerous quests to complete, 30 levels to obtain for your character and you can explore Metropolis and Arkham City.
A few words of warning though, the file size is a good 16GB, so it may take many hours to download, and it installs a trophy patch but you can’t achieve said trophies, unless you are a paid monthly subscriber of the highest level.
In it’s defence, you can explore a large and familiar open world (familiar to comic book/super hero geeks anyway) and creating your own superhero is immense fun, yes even if you are a Man (It doesn’t have to involve Lycra, and yes you can fly!)
Look out for a full review when I have played this a little more…so addictive…be warned. Let me know if you give this a try, and the type of character that you create, in the comments section below.
