Check out this developer walkthrough for DC Universe Online. You can choose to be a hero or a villain, customize your powers and appearance, and of course, since it’s an MMO, you can PVP and do quests.

I’m really looking forward to this game. I’ve quit the World of Warcraft probably for good, and I think this is the kind of MMO I really want to play. This footage isn’t that exciting, but at least we get to see a little bit of how the game works. I do like the way this game looks, and the idea of being a hero or villain, having epic battles with actual people, but I think I’d rather play Marvel Universe Online. Nothing against DC, but Marvel just has a lot more great characters and stories.

DC Universe Online is being released on the PS3 and PC. I’ll definitely be getting this one for the PC. I can’t really imagine playing an MMO on a console. The release date is not set yet, but look for it before the end of the year.
