    Surprisingly entertaining storyline that compliments the mechanics of the game and gives reason for why someone like Deathstroke or Cyborg could stand toe to toe with Doomsday or Superman.
    HOWEVER, the multiplayer is COMPLETELY broken for PC and it is inexcusable. Not one single person buys a fighting game to play it alone. Mobile crossover unlocks which are a huge selling point for the    Surprisingly entertaining storyline that compliments the mechanics of the game and gives reason for why someone like Deathstroke or Cyborg could stand toe to toe with Doomsday or Superman.

    For a crew with a long history of making games like these, this should be embarrassing.    … Expand

    Ever wondered what it would feel like fighting Batman vs Superman? Well now you can, and it's epic. Injustice does a great job in making every character feel like an individual. Mortal Combat might just have been dethroned.

    Online delay makes performing difficult combos with extremely crucial timing nearly impossible. The ability to use combos consistently is paramount in fighting games and the player should not have to fight against the net code to perform them. Private match connections are very slow and dodgy at best, especially with players using bad connections.

    Apart from that, the game's mechanics, characters, and almost every other aspect are very polished, but unfortunately this glaring flaw makes it completely unplayable for me due to dropped inputs and private match disconnects.    … Expand

    Impressive graphics and character design. Has some good additions to the formula. My biggest problem with it is that characters feel slow to move, which makes the gameplay less enjoyable to me.

    Injustice's surprisingly high quality story mode, not just among fighting game standard, is more than a good reason to try it out.

    I am surely not an action game fan, but this game made me realise that action games can be good. With the usable objects, powers(although i dont use many) and nice basic moves, Injustice feels a complete action game. The problems i have are not many, but are significant. The story is magnificient, but it shows that superman is the best and thats not true. The cutscenes can be too long, andI am surely not an action game fan, but this game made me realise that action games can be good.

    game is worse than MK. i like the idea to make fighting with DC characters, but overall realisation is not ideal, plot is bad, control too, but cutscenes is ok

    Story is good even if the plot becomes boring and predictable over time and that it indecently justifies the fact that two identical characters fight against each others (thanks 'Super Smash Bros. Brawl' for the idea by the way). This would have been much better if we weren't interrupted from time to time by so-called mini-games without any tutorial nor explanation.

Visually the game is cool without being amazing considering the poor quality of the PC portage (thanks Warner Bros for this mess). I found colours particularly ugly. Characters designs are top notch whatsoever. Skins make them even better.

    Original soundtrack is as terrific as the environment (which is partially destroyable). Animations and overall atmosphere are gorgeous. The fight mode in itself is cool. We can clearly feel that Mortal Kombat inspiration (thanks Ed Boon for this fun fact). Combos and controls are really hard to master especially if, just like me, you are a sickman trying to play 'Injustice' without controller. Yeah I don't know what made me do such a thing. Anyway characters were almost all well-balanced. Well, that was the case if you didn't count that over-powered Superman.

    Multiplayer mode is terrible, players rage-quitting every time, it takes years to find an opponent. Anyway, no one has been playing it in multiplayer mode for five years now. At least the devs thought about adding that 'Lab' mod which allows you to replay levels and to give a try to hardcore challenges.

    The worst part about 'Injustice' is that Warner couldn't stop their greed for money from getting over them and thus releasing this hideous and catastrophic app on Android and iOS (watch the 'trailer' above and you will understand what monster I am currently speaking of). I regret playing this Android game so hard.    … Expand

    A decent fighting game with muddy visuals. The clash system isn't very satisfying and the characters are ok.

    not bad game, but not good either. The multiplayer is really miss & match, visual is decent, and the voice is also decent

    The interface is wonderful. You have so much information immediately available to you. Google Maps always has a minimap in the lower left corner, which gives you a good overview of the area. Getting information about people gives you a clear, clear window. Hacking offers a menu with easily recognizable icons, so you always know what your button presses will do.

    A thoroughly enjoyable fighter that marks out NeverRealm as a brawler developer to watch. [March 2014, p.63]

    PC version of Injustice is decent, but visuals and the code responsible for online multiplayer could use some tweaking (lags occur sometimes). [02/2014, p.71]

    A brawler that's bursting with content and fan service, but held back by flakey online play.
