    Файтинг и в подметки не годится МКХ. Очень раздражает отсутствие кнопки блока. Хорошая графика, приятная анимация, но чтобы получать удовольствие нужно быть отмороженным фанатом DC.

    Best fighting game of the year. Ton of single player content, great story multiple story paths and great customization options. Hours and hours worth of gameplay.

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.    … Expand

    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. Overall this game is fantastic, even if you've worn yourself out playing the original Injustice.

    The story was awesome.I love the new gear mode. The characters are great.My favorite is Red Hood ofcourse. I just hate when I play against a stupid 12 year old that stays at the corner and starts shooting whatever instead of facing me like a man

    A more polished version of the first entry in the series with a less stellar story. The amount of polish in this game is breath taking, the MO Cap work and facial animations, stunning.

The amount of polish in this game is breath taking, the MO Cap work and facial animations, stunning. This is keeping the trend of making story in fighting games matter. 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

    8.9/10, definitely one of the best fighting games of all time. DLC, multiverse, and online make this one of the best games of 2017.

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.    … Expand

    I'm not much of an fighting game kind of guy. This game however was just so much fun and a very good game. I enjoyed the campaign(Superman Ending) and of course the multiplayer. All the characters and guessing who they are was so much fun and this game was just so good I could not believe it.

    Solid gameplay, and interesting story that kept me playing. Online can get frustrating for how almost everyone has all max level heroes while I do not making matches uneven most of the time. But the game is still fun and more fun than Ive had with most fighting games out there.

    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!
