Benny Burnsalot, doing what I do best #5. DC Universe is fun.

You ever wonder what it'd be like if I was a super villian? Here ya go.

Just look! It's a bird! It's a plane! No! IT'S BENDO, FIERY ROCK MAN OF GOTHAM! Hopping from building to building with the grace of a fiery bag of rocks, searching the city for his next destination of villainy, which just so happened to be a district of Gotham where Mr. Freeze had begun to cover the buildings and streets in frost with special snow machines!

Lost, I flung from rooftop to rooftop, wondering if I'd ever get to my destination. To my relief, I Finally arrived at the scene, I vigilantly looked over the frost covered streets and buildings from a rooftop. "Oh man this is cool. I'mah kick Mr. Freezes ass SO FUCKIN' HARD!" I exclaimed, Hopping down from the building and into the wintery wonderland.

"The Hospital!" I exclaimed. I had to steal back the diamonds Mr. Freeze had stolen from me, which I stole from a police station. "Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left! So fuck that guy." I thought, entering the hospital, where Mr. Freeze was hiding and conducting experiments.

"Game on!" I thought, bolting quickly towards the back of the hospital towards a computer, guarded by a rather fat guy in a anti-freeze suit. I beat his ass, and proceeded to send the joker some info about Mr. Freeze's plans. I begin to bolt back outside, being stopped by Mr. Freeze, who looked pretty pissed. "OMG, WUTCHOO DO TO MAH WIFE?" he exclaimed. "Oh, Joker needed these diamonds for money and stuff. Sorry about your gal." I said before beating Mr. Freeze into a pulp. A man named "Calculator" called me on my communicator, expressed his thanks and apologized for the rough situation concerning Mr. Freeze. "You think I had a rough time? Go back and re-read the first word of every paragraph!"

I haven't heard too many good things about it, but the idea sure sounds awesome. I wish there was a demo.

@wombat  Sorry I gave away my only 10 day trial.   @Dom  Here is my review so far.   The graphics are nicely done.  They are pretty solid and nice to look at.  The down fall of the graphics of the game is there is alot of cut, copying, and pasting / renaming.  It is kind of repetitive.

The sound...  The dialog is 100% crap.  I turned off people talking <npcs you kill mainly> really really really fast.  Music > .  The game music however is isnt to bad. 

The controls...  They are really nice once you get used to them.  Something seem a bit sluggish at first, but the combo system in the game is nice.  Mouse = different attacks that you can preform by clicking and holding.  Powerful attacks that do special abilities </w skill points spent.>  Your 1-9 are for your special abilities. 

Game runs almost perfectly.  The controls are extremely smooth and the gameplay it really good.  When you first start playing the game it will seem like there is a extreme ammount of CC in the game..  Hitting shift will break cc.  <4th spam cast = immunity for that cc..  So you switch..>  That reduces swiftly though when you start to build durablity.  The pvp is fun dude.  You have a 3d area with random encounters ranging from you are dead to ownage.  I have had some pretty intense fights with people towering over me in levels and come out standing over him.  You will get killed by 30 the whole way up on 1 of the 3 pvp servers. 

Ok here we really go.  The char creation is well done.  You really dont see 2 heros that look the same.  You make your guy the way you want at first and the whole time you lvl up you are getting new items that you can change your look with.   That includes your wpns/armor/gear/skin/hair etc.   So your dude gets to look pretty custom and sick to how you want.  You can play with the colors but only a little bit.  You can only switch 3 differen t colors.  The colors you can pick are not bad however.  They are slider bars and you can get pretty crazy looking colors going.  Kinda disappointing but not a horrible aspect. 

The skill trees are done pretty nice.  I have been able to wreck pretty much anyone with in 9 lvls of me at lvl 12.  You can go into multi trees <which is 3>  with your power points.  So can you come up with some pretty nice specs.  I do like that part of the game alot.  Balance isnt 100% in the game, but shit for just coming out and not having alot of time to hear about it..  The game is insanely smooth. 

I would have to say the 1 thing that really really appeals to me is the pvp of the game.  I enjoy stalking in a world rather then a box.  You can get away from people but if you are good about cc it is hard.   Over all I dont think it is a bad game.  I will see what end game pvp has in store for me.   If pvp end game is run around and gank people with raid gear I wont pay 15 dollors a month.  But if the world pvp is active with a side order of some bgs I will be vary happy and definitly give them my 15 dollors a month.  It is fast paced.  You have to keep your eyes open in a major way cause someone can drop in on you going 1000 miles per hour.... 7/10
