2008-08-19 03:57:41 by Cameron Sorden in Random Battle
 
...gameplay sequence, but put side by side next to even the better Champions videos, DC Universe just looks hands-down more exciting and awesome.

...game, because it doesnt do the combat justice. As usual, seeing the actual game being played was far more enlightening than the promotional material Combat is much faster and more active than it appeared at first, and there seems to be a lot of movement on the part of both the characters and the villains.

...game, I havent played it in months and havent really dug into a new expansion since LDoN. When I do get on, I mostly just revisit old haunts and try to play the game I remember instead of the game thats there.
