Fun:
Wow, where to start? What a wasted opportunity! As a long-time player of City of Heroes I was looking forward to this game immensely. But, man, am I disappointed.
Firstly... I have no objection to paying a monthly subscription fee for a highly polished, bug-free game, with an excellent online community and great character development.
Sadly though, this game has none of those. I will try to explain better...
Bugs. This game is riddled with them. Yesterday I attempted a mission where, as I soon learned, the enemies were invisible. I died. Then in the same mission (after a reboot to fix the invisibles), my character got attacked whilst interacting with an objective, and got stuck in that position. So could not fight back or move... I died again. That's just two quick examples - There are dozens of big bugs in this game.
And I resent that because I am effing well paying to play this game every month - even though it's not effing finished!!!
Online Community. This is, in my opinion, the biggest failure of this game. Having played CoH and other MMORPGs I was expecting to make some superficial friendships that would last hours or even days. Sadly this wasn't to be. I bought a bluetooth keyboard to make typing easier but this just wasn't the problem. The problem was the terrible chat interface. It is truly awful. Someone messaged me in-game to ask for help. I tried to make a team and invite them but I couldn't do it! So I tried to Private Message them back... And couldn't do that either!!! That really sums this game up - the controls are so counter-intuitive it's painful to play it. There really is a poor community spirit on here. CoH had a great community and most players played in teams. I can honestly say that teams in DCUO seem rare and so I have pretty much solo'd this game... maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I had played in teams more often. But, in all honesty, I seriously doubt it.
And a note on the above... The manual is awful (8 pages i think), and Sony expects you to go to the 'help' website to find out how to play it... Which is awful too! Tells you all the stuff you can work out for yourself and nothing about the stuff you really need to know! UNFORGIVABLE, SONY!
Sorry I'm going to stop here cos I'm typing on my phone so not ideal. I hope this review has been helpful as I would hate to think of others wasting their money on this poor game.
WARNING: update... Sony went ahead and charged me for the second month's subscription despite me writing to them to complain about the game and the quality of it! I emailed them regarding this and asked for a refund - seeing as I haven't played it for a week either and why should they even charge me if I haven't even attempted to play it during an unbilled subscription - and they told me where to go, basically. Sony. No Refunds. No Customer Service. No accountability.

Fun:
I Have to say going into this game I was very hesitant having played World Of Warcraft for many years and recently gave it up as was always sat at the PC and often uncomfortable and feeling unsocial with my family.
I decided to give this game a go based on the fact that it was available on the PS3 and thus meaning that I could sit comfortably in my armchair while still in the company of my fiancee and not be absent from the warmth of the living room. Not to mention repeatative caprol tunnel in wrists from trying to position wrists using a mouse and a keyboard.
The Download from PSN for free sealed the deal and after a lengthy lengthy install of game process for which i had to leave the PS3 on one night to get it to 50% until I realised that you can turn the system off at anytime you like and upon switching back on and reloading the save file it will automatically resume install of game and patch content from the point it was last at.
One tip i will give is that as a free to play member you will have slightly limited options such as not able to recieve items in the in game mail, limited character creation slots and bank/inventory slots.. However as soon as you purchase any of the DLC off playstation network you instantly get upgraded to the Premium member status which grants you more character slots, access to items through the mail and more inventory etc slots. AND!!! you will not have to pay a subscription..
Thats right NO Subscription! Subscription is only for the Legendary status which basically gives you it all and free dlc but personally Im sticking with Premium and just individually purchasing the things i want as i want them..
Thats right you can upgrade virtually every aspect you want.. want more charter slots.. buy it.. want more inventory slots.. buy it! and never have a monthly subscription.
Gameplay -
On playing the game via the ps3 controller I was immediatly happy at hw fluid and easy to use the controls are.. Triangle is weapon attack ie Long range attacks and Square fist, close range, weapon attacks.. As you level up you aquire skills and moves that are accessed by a simple hold of the R2 or L2 button while you press one of the face buttons from X to Circle. each button unleashing a mighty attack.
The first level runs like a training mode and is pretty much you on your own able to run the training mode so to speak at your own pace till you face a easy guardian and are then entered into the online universe with other players..
Wethere you a PVP or PVE style player each has its own rewards howver I have found that PVE allows you to play the game and enjoy it without having to get stressed about being attacked by enemy forces each mission.
All in all this game is a must or MMORPG fans as it gives you the fun of a MMORPG with the comfort of being able to relax in the confort of your livingroom/bedroom.. All you need is a internet connection and away you go and unless the free to play is ever recended then you have a free quality game for life.

good kids game
It's well put together with a nice flow of gameplay.
Not quite as good as I'd hoped (quite limited character choices) and becomes a bit repetitive after a while. Read more
