4 out of 5 starsScore: 80/100

So far DC Universe online has been a pretty cool experiance.  the creation tools offer tons of options for designing your hero and you can make them look pretty much however you like.  Whats also cool is that you can choose to keep the heroes look or modify it as you take in new gear.  You can even have your charecter display gear they are not wearing.  The combat is a real time mix of mous clicking for standered attacks and macros fro powers.  It works pretty well and the quests are pretty fun.  So Far I have only played as a hero in mertopolis, but this game shows promise and is defiantley work checking out if you are a comic fan. 
 
So like I said this was a review in progress and I think I have enough now to say this didn't deserve the 4 stars I gave it.  The lack of interaction with major charecters and the quickly diminishing returns make this game pretty unapealing after a few days.  The enviorments really don't change at all and really other than the creation tools and some inital cool stuff this game really has very little going for it.
