DC Universe

I started playing this when it went F2P I tried a little of it at beta but my old computer kept crashing it so I had to stop.

It had a few bumps in the terms of lag and bugs. Lag was due to all the people attempting to play it and only 2 servers being up to try and handle all the people. So I figured that would smooth over soon. The other was bugs that should of been fixed a long time ago but were apparently still there and after it went Free to Play did they bother to fix them.

The game plays a little different then others, it's level based of course; but your attacks are based on what weapon you have equipped and that weapon gives your character stats or moves depending on where you put your skill points. You can at least add a new weapon to play with after level 10 plus.

You select from a small list of powers that have two branches you can put points in depending on the role you want to play. Some have different versions of a role in either tree just different ways of doing that role with them. Light was released near the time it went Free to Play but you either had to buy it or be a subscriber to get it; just recently Electricity was released which is a new healing power.

Hero creation was not as extravagant as City of Heroes or Champions where you had a decent amount of costume pieces to use. City of Heroes (in my own opinion) had the best costume creator. You can build up a nice selection in Champions or DC universe but you had to either find or buy the costumes.

You will have some fun with this game if you liked the other two hero games, but which one you choose in the end is up to you.
