We love superhero comic books for their striking artwork and relatable themes, but mostly we love them for their outlandish storylines and colorful characters. Encouraging players to try multiple heroes gives the game some variety, too. The gameplay is a little more intuitive and much faster-paced.
Marvel Heroes comes out ahead here, if only by a little.
You can build up your character with a variety of different skill trees, and there's plenty of equipment to be had, although managing the inventory can be a pain. The combat system strikes an agreeable balance between action and statistics, putting some weight on how well you play and some weight on how well-equipped you are. Once you're all set up, you do battle with a few enemies at a time, using a combination of light, heavy and special attacks. You'll create your own hero with a fairly generous variety of options, from gender to costume to superpowers to weapons. Which one you prefer depends a bit on what you're in the mood for, but each game is enjoyable, polished and faithful to its source material.ĭC Universe Online, on the other hand, is much more akin to World of Warcraft, or any other third-person MMORPG out there. Luckily, both DCUO and Marvel Heroes deliver on that count. If you're going to sink dozens of hours into an MMORPG, it had better be fun to play. But they're generally similar enough that they can go head to head in a crossover event that will shape the fate of the world for years to come - or at least your gaming schedule for the next few months.
The games target somewhat different audiences (DC vs. While both offer wholly original stories starring iconic heroes and villains, Marvel's game is an action/RPG in which you play as an established hero, whereas DC's is a more traditional MMORPG in which you play as an original character. Marvel Heroes and DC Universe Online take somewhat different approaches to immersing you in a well-known comic book world.
