There are villains and cops, but not much in the way of civilians to terrify - at least not in this opening area. Gotham definitely feels like Gotham, complete with Batsignal up in the the clouds, with the only real missed opportunity being that the streets feel deserted. Again, it's tough not to compare the city to City of Heroes/Champions Online.

(Depending on your mentor, you could also start out in Metropolis, although I've yet to visit there). Īfter killing roughly a billion robots and helping Lex take out the ship's main weapon, I was immediately dispatched to Gotham to start my life of crime.

Much like City of Heroes, the most notable thing about the combat is that it lets you feel like a badass right from the start, taking down rooms full of robots and fighting alongside Lex Luthor in a mission to save the planet from Braniac's first world-conquering attack wave. Went with Tech? Expect toys like Sentry Turrets. Opted for Stealth? You can assassinate people, or lay down mines. With guns, you unload from a distance or do pistol-whips up close, pulling off John Woo style moves like leaping backwards while firing by punching in simple combos. With melee attacks, you flip from goon to goon in huge flashing arcs of pain.

On the plus side, it's very easy, very short, and gives you plenty of time to play with your new combat moves.ĭC Universe feels a million times more kinetic than most MMOs - more like a (very, very stat-driven) God of War than the usual click-to-auto-attack style. Go Team Joker!Įveryone gets the same training mission, set aboard Braniac's ship. Joker has Harley Quinn's cellphone number. Lex has incredible intelligence and the resources of a global conglomerate of evil. As one of the newly-formed supertypes, you get to not only choose good or evil, but who you want to train you. Unfortunately, it works just as well on jerks, and the biggest jerks of all - his present-day self, along with Circe and the Joker - promptly set up their own mentoring program. The repentant Luthor steals some of his technology and heads back in time, releasing nanites capable of turning anyone into a superhuman powerhouse, with the idea that the heroic Justice League can train them up to be an army of righteousness and fight the incoming armada. Almost as soon as he lands the killing blow, Brainiac appears in the skies with a full warfleet and promptly steamrollers the now completely undefended Earth. DC Universe Online is set in a timeline where Lex Luthor finally manages to beat not just Superman, but all the world's greatest heroes.
