As part of an MMO gaming experience, "Marvel Universe Online" players will be able to interact simultaneously in a truly unique atmosphere featuring all their favorite Marvel characters, creatures and villains.
Außerdem find ich es bisschen blöde, dass es nur auf Windows Vista laufen soll.
Naja mal abwarten, Cryptic hat ja bis jetzt immer gute Arbeit geleistet siehe City of Heroes / Villains.
