    Taking in to consideration I hate the typical Hollywood cheese, this game really pulls it off. It is fun combat. Pretty much a variation of Mortal Kombat. The story mode **** on that sack of **** Batman film that somehow manages to loiter around the IMDB top 10 films. Injustice 2 works on every aspect.

Fun to play, engaging story due to the fights integrated, good mechanics, good roster. I just tried a bit of the DLC today and the TMNT one is pretty good. Great that the story blurs the lines between the good guys and the bad guys. Don't get me wrong, there's no depth to the story but it doesn't matter because the fighting brings the excitement. Again, think Mortal Kombat.

    For a while **** ton of franchises I can't stand, I really enjoy this game. Great fighter.

    A unica coisa que achei boa nessa cópia de Mortal Kombat foi a história, além de ser uma cópia ruim pra caralho esse lixo ainda tem uma coisa que ao meu ver é repugnante um sistema que se constitui em você evoluir as armas e vestimentas do seu personagem para torna-lo mais forte, ESSA PORRA É UM RPG OU UM JOGO DE LUTA CARALHO!?

    What a terrible game. I created a profile just to submit this. I understand what it is the free game of the month. The game does not keep up with your inputs, you try to string a special together and it uses the basic form instead. The only saving grace is the story, which is good for the hour you play it. Spend your money elsewhere.

    (Story mode specifically)
    Injustice 2 is DC at its best, with complex and rich characters, fun game-play and a story that pushes different icons throughout DC history on paths that would almost never be explored for their characters.
    Game-play is adequate and feels really good when you find a knack for it. With a few minor issues such as the general overwhelming nature of the game-play

    Shortly behind MK11 this game is one of the best beat‘m up which was ever made. Technically it is amazing to play this game in 4K HDR at 60 FPS, the textures and the stages are gorgeous. I was missing the story mode for every char like Tekken, so I left one point out of my score.

While it is not the first fighter to introduce a gear system, it does it in a great way by allowing players to use it to their advantage offline, then giving the choice of playing with or without sets online.

    While Injustice 2 might be the best Netherrealm game yet, at least from a technical standpoint, it also suffers the most from WB's scummy business practices.

    The core gameplay is still a ton of fun, if a little slow, and the campaign looks and feels great. The Multiverse, a refined version of MKX's Living Towers, is a great addition, and provides consistent PvE content when you don't
    While Injustice 2 might be the best Netherrealm game yet, at least from a technical standpoint, it also suffers the most from WB's scummy business practices.

    The core gameplay is still a ton of fun, if a little slow, and the campaign looks and feels great. The Multiverse, a refined version of MKX's Living Towers, is a great addition, and provides consistent PvE content when you don't feel like getting brutalized online. So what's the issue?

    Netherrealm Studios have churned out ten additional characters since the game's release, and you have to pay for ALL of them. Some of them are crazy good and can counter popular strategies, but if you don't fork over the dough to buy them, you're put at a disadvantage. This doesn't even factor in "gear", stat-altering cosmetics that unbalance casual play, or "source crystals" a premium currency used to change the color of your character's costume. Even those who waited for the full-priced edition that includes all the DLC characters have to deal with the economy of a mobile game, and it's depressing.

    It pains me to give this game such a mediocre score, but the core mechanics, as solid as they may be, are bogged down far too much by WB's penny-pinching. If you have to play it, I recommend you buy a used copy of the Legendary Edition to ensure you get the most complete experience without directly supporting these practices.

Sure the graphic looks great, many characters to play and story cinematic looks amazing but the combat itself is not good at all. I am veteran in fighting games, my favorite one is SFV, I would say Injustice 2 fail miserably in this area, and it is critical area. In short, Combat mechanic is very difficult to play. Instead of creating combo by yourself, you need to look at the list the devs provide, and you have to memorize and do just that. There are many combos for one character, but in the end, people will just spam 2-3 combo they are used to. If you try to mix and match by yourself, let say spam some button, your character will just pause itself. It was a bad design and if you look at the competitive esports, Injustice 2 is dying.

    Story is also not good. It is just a script that allows characters to fight each others. Many scenes are irrational. (stupid I would say). I only played for the sake of finishing it, that's all.

    In brief, Injustice 2 is only good for fans of superheroes. It has great animation but bad gameplay. If you are looking for a solid fighting game, I would recommend SFV, Tekken, Mortal Combat, or Dragon ball Z. Those games have stronger foundation. Injustice is only for those who just want to play as Batman or Superman and get through hero's story. Also, It is not suitable for casual or kids, because game mechanic requires you to remember combo, you can't button mash. You can't just grab controller and ready to go. The button sequence also has to be put in fast and in correct manner only.

    It is sad because the graphic looks so well, but gameplay and story are more important than graphic. I deduct 4 points from gameplay alone, 1 point from story so the final score is 5/10. Gameplay needs overhaul seriously. Don't buy this game for kids. It is not designed for kids, both gameplay and story.

I had played quite a bit online but I never took the time to sit down and play through the story of the game. I really enjoyed the story, it is a continuation of the first Injustice’s story. I really enjoy the story, I do wish the story of the game would be longer but it’s a fighting game so you can’t expect too much from the story mode.

    Whether you like the gameplay or not, this game needs to be the blueprint for all future fighting games. There needs to be content, when I think about everything in the game, there is so much I can do. I can go online, there is a well-written story, there is a tower system where you can fight AI, you can play locally.

    My favorite part of the entire game is the gear system where you can customize your favorite characters. You get the gear from playing the game, not to mention you also get loot boxes for playing the game. The game gives you so many loot boxes, it’s almost too much. Yes, you can pay real money for loot boxes but honestly, I don’t know why anyone would do that. Just play the game, you get gear, you get loot boxes and you can level your characters.

    In this day and age, the most important aspect of a multiplayer game is the net code. The netcode can make or break a game and for Injustice 2, the Netcode is near flawless. I have rarely had any laggy matches and there doesn’t appear to be any major input lag online.

    All in all, whether you’re into fighting games or not. This is a game that I highly recommend.

    In summary I'd say that Injustice 2 is a must have for fans of the fighting genre

    Although the story was a lot more boring and poorly written than the last game, the game-play is just significantly better. I actually got a lot more play time because I was completely invested in the fighting. Fun multiplayer and decent RPG type mechanics.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Injustice 2 is a fast-paced fighting game released by NetherRealm Studios in May of 2017. It is a sequel to the first game, Injustice: Gods Among Us, and it continues with the conflict between Batman and Superman on their morals. The main goal of the developers was to finish off the storyline of this game in which Batman believes that everyone deserves the right to live, even the worst criminals, whereas Superman believes that their enemies should be killed in order to prevent further troubles from them. They were successful in this as the game ended with the player choosing either Batman or Superman in the end, and their selection alters the ending of the game. If the player chooses Batman, the game ends with Batman defeating Superman and sending him to an alternate universe. If the player selects Superman, however, Batman will be defeated, but Superman will not kill him, as he finds Batman useful, and he instead turns Batman into one of his minions. The graphics of this game remain similar to the first game as they are both realistic looking, but at the same time, it is easy to point out that it is in fact a video game. They help the player feel more immersed in the story because of its realistic qualities. The music and sound effects also help with this, as the music is intense to match the battling and the sound effects are equally intense in order to convey the aggressive qualities of the fighting. The control scheme is partially difficult to memorize, but this is only because the many characters to choose from each work differently and therefore have different combo attacks. They can be difficult to memorize for multiple players, but once learned, they turn out to be not as difficult as they seem. As for camera placement, the view of the player is from the side, and it shows both fighters equally. It pans out when there is distance between them, and it zooms in when the two are close in order to accomodate for the distance. It is effective in keeping interest up because it is not a fixed camera. It moves when it needs to, and this makes it very well made mechanic. Out of 5 stars, I would rate this game 5 stars because of its great mechanics, vast character selection, and well made DLC content. All of these help to keep interest up for the players, and the game remains popular. Expand

    - Best story mode in a fighting game bar none. Great experience with solid narrative and exception cinematics.
    - Gear is fun and extremely varied in appearance and function.
    - Some of the best facial animation in the business
    - Fun battle system that is easy to pick up - although it does feel a bit limited after awhile
    - Flashy super moves, backgrounds, and animations are great for the flow of combat

    Cons:
    - Some characters look ugly and not what you would expect based on other depictions of them
    - Really not a lot to hook you after the relatively short story mode is over. While gear is fun to play around with, unless you plan on playing the game competitively (which I don't), there is not much else to do. Multiverse gets boring since there is no particular goal or end in sight.
    - Relatively simple compared to many other games in the genre
    - DLC characters in fighting games can really hurt the community - I don't want to pay more for extra characters than the actual game itself
    - Loading times are overly long
    - Projectile spam is a relatively big problem in this game

    Final Word:
    - Great experience that may be a bit skimpy for the price if you are a casual player - especially considering the high price of the DLC characters.

    True Score:

This one doesn't hit the mark as much for me, I like the new characters, but I felt like they popped up in the story just for the fun of it and didn't have much of a reason outside of just to be there. This happened more than once and I kind of scratched my head (when Hal Jordan shows up its basically out of thin air while you are in the streets...doesn't make a lot of sense.) Focusing on Brainiac as the pivotal plot point isn't as gut wrenching as Super Man going bad and Batman dealing with it, they get to that a bit more and there are some cool moments, but doesn't outshine the first game.
    The roster adds some nice new additions (Scarecrow and Blue Beetle among my favorite newbies) and all the redesigns seem to be better. The fighting is just as fluid, with some of the supers changing for the better and for worse.
    I think the unlocks became a little too over complicated for my liking, I like my skins and portraits and didn't care for the new loot boxes and equipment drops. On top of that it makes the changing of costumes much more tedious and unlocking items doesn't seem as straight forward.
    Fighting AI or a buddy is still lots of fun.
    The polish...woofta is it good.
    An enjoyable story, but not as good as the first.
    Padding out the collectibles when they could have added cooler skins=bummer.
    New roster added some duds in my eyes, but still a good line up of characters.

    Injustice 2 improves upon its predecessor in every way. New characters, new interactions, and new fun to be had. It does lose some points from its sudden shift in tone, being a little more light hearted than Gods Among Us. And there's more DLC to be bought, which is never a good thing

    Injustice 2 is another great fighter from NetherRealm Studios. In terms of the base game, I'd say that it slightly edges out its predecessor.

    I'm personally not a huge fan of fighting games, but Injustice 2 does a great job of making each character accessible and fun to use, though there will be some you're better at than others. Thankfully, the new gear system allows you to balance out

    I'm personally not a huge fan of fighting games, but Injustice 2 does a great job of making each character accessible and fun to use, though there will be some you're better at than others. Thankfully, the new gear system allows you to balance out that character's faults and make the character your own. I must say I enjoy that side of the game much more than I expected as someone that's normally not into gear or upgrading characters.

    The story was great, perhaps even better than the first Injustice, but I really do wish they'd make it slightly longer. I'm definitely in the minority on this, but the story's the part I was looking forward to most following the first game. That being said, it's really fun while it lasts!

    My main gripe with the game was the leveling up system, especially with how long it takes to level up. It almost seems like the game wants to restrict you to one character. Once you get to Level 20 on one character (which takes forever, unless you have a ton of time on your hands), all of the other characters will feel incredibly weak by comparison. If they made the leveling up system a little faster, I would have almost no problems with the game. The stages, acting, graphics, and presentation are all fantastic.

    If you enjoyed the first Injustice game, you should absolutely pick this up. I don't know if I can recommend it to anyone else other than fighting game or DC fans, but if you're thinking about it, you should definitely give it a chance. However, this is definitely the last time I buy a complete edition before the game releases because the DLC is utter garbage.

    Got the game on sale. It's gorgeous and some fun for awhile. But man, it gets repetitive QUICKLY. You level up and win gear, but ALL you do is fight over and over again. I thought the story and leveling/gear would keep me interested, but it just doesn't. Just too little to do and so repetitive.

Крупными планами в одиночке прямо таки тычут в лицо, чтобы продемонстрировать бесспорно одну из лучших моделей лицевой анимации, но это пожалуй единственный плюс в сольнике, потому как пропало разнообразие игровых ситуаций. Нам показывают именно кино, а в промежутках дают возможность либо подраться, либо выбрать кем мы будем это делать, и снова то же самое. Благо темпоритм боёв не претендует на лавры GGX, а потому и играть даже на VH вполне комфортно. Следом за синглОм идут два вида "Мультивселенных", режим противостояний ИИ и сетевые бои, где всё крутится вокруг "шмота" и уровней каждого, взятого отдельно героя или злодея игры. Плюс в том, что кастом эбических масштабов, а потому появляется стимул для оттачивания мастерства, а минус в том, что пока найдёшь шёртики на попку той же Харли и поднимешь её уровень, для возможности их напялить, все остальные персы просто будут "голожопыми".

    Shots projectiles - you wanna just block in that position. Close to impossible in this game, as blocking now is same move backward, turning the whole thing into a spam-projectiles and use 1-2 counterattacks when your moving in and can not protect yourself. This ruins the game experience for me.
    Also, the game is complelty unbalanced. You are at a great disadvantage against certain characters depending on who you play. It should be balanced each guy against eachother and it totally is not.
    Because neather realms prefers to just throw a lots and lots of moves in to the game and not think about balancing. MKX has same problems but at least it has a decent block system. The game is also very stiff and counter-intuitive. Kicks and punches that should land just dont cause of the unnatural low reach-level of everyone in the game. This is much tighter in MKX, where you can feel that punches that should land also do land.
    This game also suffers from the annoying 30%-hits if you press l2+r2, which I never liked, just like in MKX.
    And you still cant configure to turn anything on/off. I would disable this thing and also projectiles should only do damage if they land, 0% if they dont. Maybe even penalize if your spamming projectiles to much. To discourage projectile spammers.
    Injustice 2 is really just a reskin of MKX, with less tight gameplay and a poorer blocking system. Dont buy this, get MKX or something else not from neather realms.

    Injustice 2 is the best fighting game that I've played in quite some time. It has a fun learning curve and a great roster of (fan favourite) characters - albeit missing a few. The main problems I have with it, albeit a minor issue, is that it is another fighting game with (overpriced) DLC characters and micro transactions.

    The saving grace is that the roster is so large to begin with

    The saving grace is that the roster is so large to begin with that I have never felt the need to buy any of the DLC characters (as much as I'd love to make Starfire my main), and that the game is actually quite generous with its currency (apart from the one currency for unlocking alternate skins/colours - WHY HAVE 3 currencies?!?).

    Best "fandom" fighting game since Dragonball Z: Budokai 3 or JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle.

    A sequel that is on the same level as the original. Great game-play, good choice of new characters, stunning graphics, and an entertaining plot. Only drawbacks are that some characters are lacking in terms of effective basic combos and the story isn't as good as the first game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the first fighting game I have ever owned so there won't be so many comparisons to mortal kombat or injustice 1.

    So I'm going to break down this game into small bits so lets begin with the story.

    STORY: Superman is locked up for killing people and his team members are trying break him out. Then this crazy dude in a spaceship (Brainic) wants to collect data by killing people and **** Well not really but it's pretty close to what happens. Batman lets superman out of his cage and they team up to take down the big baddie. Then the game gives you two options once you take down Brainic. Superman or Batman? If you choose Batman he locks superman up again, the end. If you choose Superman he makes batman his slave through mind control, the end. Now honestly story wasn't bad, but it was filled with useless characters. That was there to be your punching bag, I'm serious. People came out of nowhere and began to fight you without adding anything to the story. So the story is the weakest part. Now let's talk about the gameplay.

    GAMEPLAY: It plays like any traditional fighting game with a twist, there's this system to wear you can put gear on your character and **** it's addictive as all hell. I could spend hours collecting gear making my character more and more powerful and changing their looks. The gear system can either make or break the game because some of the gear can make your character very powerful, giving an unfair advantage. Gear is unlocked through mother boxes and you get them for a random character, which is annoying because that includes the characters you don't use and will never use. The mother boxes are NOT MICRO-TRANSACTIONS but instead you earn them often and can buy them with in-game currency (which is not purchasable). This system adds to the gameplay, nerfing your character each time you play. Now the combat is fun, really fun. There are your basic characters (blue beetle, batman, superman, etc) where it's easy to learn combos and get into the game. The combat feels smooth and doesn't stutter a bit. There are parts where the hit box is off (aquaman's move where an octopus grabs your from the ground) but when the game works, it works well. It flows nicely as you're beating the crap out of your opponent or they're beating the crap out of you. There are some characters that you can spam with and it can get irritating of you're using a character that can't teleport and slide. Even then you need to be fast or else they can knock you out of the teleporting animation or slide animation. Now then, the game modes are next.

    GAME MODES: There are many game modes in Injustice 2 but I want to focus on the multiverse events, king of the hill, and traditional one on one pvp matches. The multiverse is where you can grind out for gear and mother boxes. There are different planets and each planet has their own gear for a character and most of the time, mother boxes. What bothers me is that the difficulty doesn't affect the amount of xp you get at the end of the match. King of The Hill is a fun little mode where people have to overthrow then take their place. Pretty much if the king wins a match they get to keep their thorne but if a player wins then they take their place. There's a waiting line to fight the king so you may want to spend your time in practice mode. You can bet on the king or players fighting the king but you don't get much from it but you don't lose anything if you do. Now then, the classic PVP, it's about what you expect. Now the gear system buffs your character but it can be disable if you and the other person turns on competitive mode which makes everything balanced.

    THE BUSINESS MODEL OF THE GAME: I'm not too shocked because Warner Bros has done this with previous games but it still remains here. You can spend $40 dollars to unlock almost everything (besides Darkseid which is an extra $6). It's a bit scummy to do this to players but they're still buying into it so what's stopping the company from stopping?

    OVERALL: Besides the business model, I give this a solid 8/10, it's friendly for newcomers like me and there's a whole lot of replay value. The gameplay is solid and there's plenty of characters to chose from. So go out and try this one out.

    The story feels shorter than the first one but it's a lot better, the characters develop throughout the story, a lot of the antagonists are really sympathetic and it does explain some of the actions they did in the first game. And with great characters comes a great conflict, especially the last 30 minutes, the only problem I have with the story is that it's barely 5 hours, but other than that it was a blast.

    The gameplay and graphics both improved from the first game, even if I liked the first injustice, even I can admit that the graphics weren't good at all but in injustice 2, the facial animations feel realistic, the environmental animations are great and the characters design are literally incredible.
    The gameplay is basically like the first injustice but with little subtle improvements which makes great fun, it's all about the timing of your attacks and the speed of your reflexes, the 28 different characters make the matches feel different and the gear mode can give a different fighting style to your favourite character, there is so much to like here.

    Buy it now, this game surprised me in so many ways, it might be my favorite fighting game ever, even if it the story is short, there is so much content to this game that it is really worth the asking price, you won't be disappointed.

    Injustice 2 is just Injustice 1 with a different story and slightly different line-up. The old adage of "if it ain't broke don't fix it" fits nicely with this title, and netherrealms stuck with it. I enjoyed the 1st title and to see very little was done (on the surface) to the second one was alright in my book.

    Injustice 2 is just Injustice 1 with a different story and slightly different line-up. The old adage of "if it ain't broke don't fix it" fits nicely with this title, and netherrealms stuck with it. I enjoyed the 1st title and to see very little was done (on the surface) to the second one was alright in my book.

    I enjoyed the story mode in both games, proving you can have a meaningful story in a fighter; not some cobbled-together narrative that only exists to lightly glue the game together. These are bona fide pop culture legends by now; you can't flimsily stick them in a game and hope it all stays together. Kudos for making me care about the fate of everyone (other than ironically Doctor Fate, which is almost as pointless to the story as cheetah and the Joker).

    Both titles look amazing as are the super move animations. Combat is fluid, but to a point; and that is a grievance across both titles. Fighting opponents feels less about chaining abilities together and more about jockeying for better positions to attack. Games for example Street Fighter have a touch of positioning in the flow of combat, but proper blocking and counter attacking and then chaining abilities across the dance of the fight make for far more intriguing battles. In IJ2 sprinting outside of your opponent's reach is all it takes to take nearly an entire health bar out before they can even recover. Is that bad? Not really once you understand the ebb and flow, but it doesn't make for an intimate battle. Once you get chained like this, there's nearly no recovery. You might as well put the controller down and wait for everything to resolve (which feels like somewhere between 5-10 actual seconds). Add in the super move and you'll find yourself getting real bored, real fast, even when it's YOU doing it!

    The multiverse sections and Overwatch like loot crates are a great addition to the game. Powering up which DC fighter you enjoy playing as (which the story mode acts like a sampler for the player in truth) is a great way to get people using the title over and over. My only issue is the urgency of doing it. Personally, grinding any game of any genre like this is a turnoff, i'd rather dip in when I want, yet other than getting super strong with one hero (or many) without a end reward (being the best is not a reward to me) makes me even less likely to go hog wild with the multiverse aspect of the game. Regardless to my own personal take, it is a competent mode and a great addition to the title.

    If you love fighters, IJ2 is a must own, if you love comics, IJ2 is a must own. If you are super competitive and don't care a fig about the genre or comics, you're probably going to hate this game. You'll like for a bit and then move on because you'll end up comparing it to your usual fighter.

As always, the net code could use work... And the biggest problem of all- the roster. The roster is full of characters who most people would not even recognize, but easily the worst part is the fact that they took out 50 percent of the roster from the first game. If you liked wildly popular characters like Lobo, Martian Manhunter, Zatanna, Solomon Grundy, Batgirl, Captain Marvel/Shazam and many more (and a lot of people did) then the people that made this game don't care and took them out and that is probably the biggest deciding factor in this score (the roster). A huge pet peeve of mine is taking characters away instead of adding more. Expand

    Holy CLUNKFEST, Batman! From the menus to the gameplay, Injustice 2 is a total clusterf*ck. Dial-a-combos and projectile spamming are still in full force. It's almost as if the designers are telling you to "find the cheapest moves and setups, then spam yourself to victory". This is not fighting, this is high-tech dodgeball with wonky-ass animation.

It's almost as if the designers are telling you to "find the cheapest moves and setups, then spam yourself to victory". This is not fighting, this is high-tech dodgeball with wonky-ass animation. Sorry, but I grew tired of this gameplay idea in 1997. I will elaborate much further in my full review... but Injustice 2 is clearly designed more to be "watched" than played. It's a movie, with a side fighting game attached. Sure, all the cinematics are pretty and all. Those facial animations are great. But yeah... too bad you don't fight with facial expressions. And too bad about the actual gameplay.

    Injustice 2's gameplay is a minimal improvement over the prequels. While quite a few "MK-tastic" quirks make their return... new mechanics such as Evasive Rolls, Air Recoveries, and faster walking speeds make the gameplay system a tad smoother. Blockable environmental attacks are also a step in the right direction. Visually, Injustice 2 has sharp textures and detailed character models... but ironically, once again, the characters appear so "tiny" during gameplay that their details and customizations hardly matter. For comparison's sake, the size of an Injustice 2 character in gameplay is about the size of one leg of a TEKKEN 7 character. Even KOF14's characters and SFV's characters appear much larger and more impressive on screen. This is a huge visual flaw for a fighting game in my opinion, right along with the wonky animations. Not a fan.

    Pretty decent fighting game. I never played the first Injustice, so I can't really compare the two, but it does hold its own against the likes of MKX, and far surpasses Tekken 7.
    Visually it's a very appealing game with great characters and locations, the arena transitions are also great, though can get old after seeing them numerous times.
    The gameplay is superb as well. The controls

    The gameplay is superb as well. The controls don't lag behind as much as some other games. My only gripe would be the input reading by the AI is extremely noticeable and can get rather frustrating after you've been winning for a while and the AI decides to make it more difficult.
    The Multiverse, which changes every few hours/days, keeps me coming back for more, wanting to get gear for my characters, which end up looking rather badass once you equip them.
    I would definitely recommend this game to any fan of the fighting genre, or those looking to delve into it.

Its graphically impressive and the voice acting is good too. Sometimes a character will repeat the same line in multiple different scenarios but its not frequent enough to be annoying. Executing combos is not as hard as in something like sf but its not so watered down that its alienating to professionals. It strikes a nice chord between being casual and hardcore.

    Online is great with lots of different modes but I experience some latency issues even on a wired connection, it's not too frequent but I have 150 online matches with 20 disconnects.

    Multiverse mode is fun for a while but it gets boring very quickly so you might just end up having the AI grinding for you to get all that gear. Speaking of gear, the way gear actually works is executed really well for the most part. You can acquire gear via multiverses and mother-boxes and said gear gives you fighters stat upgrades and new looks. My only gripes with it are you can't get gear for the fighters you want at all, it completely random in motheboxes, and some awesome gear you get can't use because your fighter is too low leveled.

    small issues- Darkseid locked behind paywall unless pre-ordered, even if you bought the ultimate edition is greedy, micro dlc exists, some balancing issues,glitches.

    overall- lots of content,solid gameplay,no p2w,future content,cool customization

    Injustice 2 is frighteningly good. This fighter, pits good and bad, well known and more obscure DC Comics franchise characters against one another in a technically amazing game.

    Following the same winning formula single player campaign story style which proved popular in Injustice: Gods Among Us, the campaign mode will ease you into the combat and let you get to grips with each character slowly, rotating players and play styles as you progress, all seamlessly accompanied by gritty and stylish cinematics which will keep you on the edge of your seat.

    The story mode plays out like a movie with a bunch of playable combat thrown in for fun. It’s an engaging story that drags all the characters in to it, giving you a chance to play as most of them as you progress. The lip sync to character models is not perfect during the cut scenes but it is one of the very few flaws, so we will let it slide.

    The beloved Injustice level interactions are back and as glorious as we remembered. The musical score is awesome. A good old epic movie soundtrack with highs and lows throughout keeping in line with the level designs.

    Gameplay is as awesome as it was in the first game. Combos can be strung together by chance with some frantic button mashing, but mastering them is a challenge which will see you practicing endlessly.

    The normal modes one has come to expect in the fighting game genre are all present, with campaign, arcade and online modes, but adding to this is a new ‘Multiverse’ mode. Based loosely on the Mortal Kombat Living Towers formula, this online mode sets up various of random events within matches to really test your skills – for example, static bombs are fired at you from the sky as you battle your way through 5 opponents, or you must defeat enemies whilst your health bar automatically decreases. These random event matches, once beaten, will serve up delightful rewards and big xp boosts, as well as providing an excellent way of rethinking how you play the game.

    The character roster is impressive, with 27 playable characters out of the box, 28 if you pre-ordered (Darkseid) and one DLC character available at launch for the rather pricey £4.99 (Brainiac). Fan favourites fuch as Batman, Superman, The Joker and Harley Quinn are all present, as well as the likes of Doctor Fate, Blue Beetle, Firestorm and Gorilla Grodd. Following the success of Scorpion from Mortal Kombats inclusion in Injustice Gods Among Us, Injustice 2 will see Sub-Zero added at a later date, along with the likes of Starfire, Grid, Red Hood and Power Girl, all through downloadable content.

    Certain characters from the original have been dropped, such as Doomsday, Deathstroke, Lex Luthor and Solomon Grundy, but the present lineup will keep the most avid of DC fans happy for a long time.

    There is an utterly incomprehensible amount of content in this gem of a game, for example, we noticed in single player mode, each character, when pitted against any other specific character would rarely repeat the same voice line – each individual opening gambit seemingly specific for that particular character match up. We decided to see just how many of these there were and had to give up after just one character. Take Batman for example (the character we chose for this test). He seemingly has an average of 8 specific opening bits of dialogue per character, i.e. if you pick Batman and you select Flash as your opponent, 1 of 8 different bits of dialogue will play, each unique for Batman Vs Flash. Now, to briefly summarise what this means – each interaction lasts 12 seconds. 12 seconds x 8 different introductions for this match up equate to 1 minute 36 seconds of unique dialogue for this one character match up. Not all characters have 8 sets of dialogue, some have 7, some have 13, but in total, against all characters, including Batman Vs Batman, Batman Vs Brainiac and Batman Vs Darkseid, Batman has a whopping 237 unique intros. To put that in to context, that is 47 and a half minutes of intro footage just of Batman. Include the other 28 characters and their respective matches and we estimate around 23 hours of unique intro footage alone, bonkers, right?

    You don’t need to be a DC comic book fan to appreciate Injustice 2, the graphics, the fluidity of the animations, the story, the stage interactions, the technical fighting mechanics and the overall depth should be enough to tempt you in. We love it and give it our seal of approval. This is a game that we will talk about for a very, very long time.

    That’s worse that greedy, it’s deceptive.
    I seriously feel lied-to by the advertising.
    I thought I was buying the WHOLE game, but I didn’t get the whole game.

    The regular game is $60, and I paid $40 more to get exactly this:
    2 'shaders' that let you change the color palate of a character, and 3 ‘skins’:
    alternate looks for Flash, Green Lantern, and Super Girl.
    That's its.
    So I basically paid a little more than $13 a skin for 3 skins I didn’t really want because I was under the impression I would get ALL the others characters in the game too.
    Nope.
    The claim new content will come for the ultimate edition, but, so far, literally nothing.
    I got a message saying I could not play ‘Red Hood’, but no, he isn’t available even after beating the story mode.
    I can BUY him though.
    They say it’s a ‘bug’ but until it’s fixed, it sure feels like a scam.
    Darkseid definitely isn’t a bug through, they definitely want you to pay more for him, and they have made it pretty clear there will be plenty more content that you can only get if you pay extra.

    The game itself is mediocre - control interface and graphics are slightly improved from Injustice 1, but FULL of of bugs, and the story is both short and boring.
    Less than 6 hours, and you don't even fight all the available characters, instead they have you fight a lot of the same characters over and over....got really tired of Bane popping up everywhere.
    Despite being a direct sequel, nothing about this game had the same feel as Injustice 1.
    Injustice 1 was fun because it was a broken-mirror universe where heroes and villains swap roles and Superman is a jerk!
    Injustice 2 takes that away and, almost without exception, the heroes act heroically, the villains act villainous, and things plays out very predictably.
    I'd actually buy a regular DC universe fighting game like that, it's only disappointing because I was expecting another game like Injustice 1.

    As fort he bugs, missing dialogue, glitchy graphics, missing DLC characters, and if you have major problems and try to re-install the game, the bugs just get worse, and you will NEVER again be able to link that account with the mobile app, denying you the 'Grid' skin literally forever unless you start a whole new PSN account.
    Believe me, I know, I was on the phone with tech support for DAYS.
    If they fix all the bugs, I’d say ‘Ultimate Edition’ is worth $30 and I’d give it 2 stars.
    If they actually included ALL the contact in Ultimate Edition, Id give it a 3 stars.
    Really though, unless they announce a major overhaul, don’t buy this game.

    The 1-star comes from the fact that an OK/Mediocre game is completely spoiled when you feel like they lied to you about what you were paying for.
    I paid extra for the 'full game' and I didn't get it.
    I got a broken game with missing pieces that I had to pay extra to complete....which is the experience I could have had for $60 instead of $100.

    So now I'm either the chump who spent $100 on a bad product, or I’m the chump who spends even more hoping it will make the product better.
    If you want to play it, rent it, wait a year or two then buy the cheapest version of the disc.
    The download version of the game is the worst-possible value – you return it, you can’t trade it in, you don’t get the limited-edition comic book that comes with the disc, and you DON’T Get DARKSEID (they mockingly tell you he was only available with digital copies as a pre-order, and that ship has sailed).

It would be great to see more super moves though as they do get repetitive. Also, they shouldn't advertise braniac as a dlc character for purchase, just finish the story and you'll get him for free.
    Overall it's a great game for anyone with an interest in fighting games or dc lore.

The ranked system is flawed, it shows the ping of like 149ms and then i can not decline because it seems to be ok for the game somehow. Then in the match, ping is nothing less than 200ms all the time... it is unplayable, no fun at all. 10% of all ranked games i have someone with like normal 50ms ping and no spikes... thats it. Such game without region lock is HORRIBLE, thats why PC MKX was bad after they patched it, because it also had no regon lock... and fighting games are after the first 2 weeks just online play, and here i can not play at all, it sucks man. Singleplayer is good tho. thats about it.
    And btw. no it is not because of my connection, EVERY OTHER GAME runs just fine with my usual ping of like 20-50ms.

There is so much on offer that taking a top-down view of the game is a bit intimidating. The controls are spot on, building on the legacy of both the modern-era Mortal Kombat games and the previous Injustice. The graphics are incredible, both during gameplay and during story cutscenes.

    There is a story mode, continuing the story from the first game, that lasts 6-8 hours depending on both your skill with multiple characters and your choices. Yes, choices...you will get to decide which characters you use (to an extent) as you play through the story, and your choices affect what happens as well as what rewards you earn. There is also a fantastic Multiverse mode, which presents a number of different single player fights with various modifiers. Maybe you have Harley Quinn as a summonable sidekick, or maybe the Joker periodically drops bombs into the stage throughout the match. Either way, you get rewarded for doing well and it mixes up the action from the usual one-on-one fighting.

    The gear system provides a lot of fun incentive to try out new characters and work on building up your favorites. The gear not only changes how a character looks, but also adds stats like health, defense, etc, as well as sometimes adding little cantrips like gaining extra xp or credits, or taking less damage from certain types of attacks. There are even sets with bonuses for equipping multiple pieces in a set.

    There's a lot on offer in Injustice 2, and I found myself unable to put my controller down. I kept wanting to try one more Multiverse tower, or level up a character so I could equip some newfound piece of gear, or just battle online to contribute to my guild. You will not be disappointed unless you just flat out don't like fighting games.

    Edit: I am revising my score down a point after spending nearly a week with the game. There are some pretty nasty inconsistencies that I think can be addressed with a small patch. The gear system suffers from the same problem World of Warcraft did early on. Namely, you can acquire higher level gear that is far inferior to lower level gear. With all the different appearances, stats and cantrips available, there is no reason for such RNG variation in the numbers.

    The AI is also inconsistent. One minute you might be wiping the floor with an opponent, and the next, they pull out a 13 hit combo that leaves you with no room to breathe. It sometimes feels like any AI between 'Very Easy' and 'Very Hard' just toggles between those two extremes randomly.

    Finally, the Multiverse bosses are just plain not fun. They force you to play nearly perfect for an extended period, as bosses enjoy boosts like hit armor and overall reduced damage. I suppose they would be fun for that handful of people that liked fighting Shao Khan (from Mortal Kombat 9) or Gil (Street Fighter 3), but those people are few and far between (this being on the internet, I'm sure I'll see dozens of people who claim otherwise). It's disappointing to see such a great game include 'cheap bosses' as a regular feature.

    What a rush to be able to play a sequel that exceeds its predecessor in almost every way. Injustice 2 is in terms of looks, gameplay and the amount of (interesting) characters leaps ahead of the previous installment without losing its accessability. And then there's the loot... my god, THE LOOT. The current system might not (yet) be perfectly balanced, but it is definitely the ultimate addition to a fighter filled with super heroes. The loot fighter: finally it has returned.

    Some players (like me) who aren’t fans of online competition may question whether Injustice 2 is worth a full price purchase, but there’s a lot more content in this package than in the average fighting game, for DC fans and fighting game fans alike. Highly recommended!
