    Injustice 2 contains a large amount of content for casual players. The excellent single player story coupled with individual stories in the multi verse mode. There is also extensive customization of characters in which you can even alter their playstyle. I have not been this impressed with a fighting game in a very long time.

    Actually gave the game a 9 or 10, but i have to revisit my rating because the online is unplayable. That NRS removed the region lock from MKX is the biggest mistake EVER they made. I have 80% of the time connections to people living on the other site of the world or something. There is no match with lower ping than 200ms and MASSIVE lag spikes in every game where the game goes slowmo.

I have 80% of the time connections to people living on the other site of the world or something. There is no match with lower ping than 200ms and MASSIVE lag spikes in every game where the game goes slowmo. 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.

    TL;DR NETCODE/CONNECTION TO OTHER PLAYERS/ NO REGION LOCK/ BAD PINGS/ BAD CONNECTIONS / 200ms etc.    … Expand

    Finished the campaign once, played about 15 ranked matches, tons of couch 2-player matches, 1 multiverse event, and level 11 Batman as of this review. I can say this is a great game. I loved the first one and thought this would be good and its definitely lived up to expectations. If you're a DC fan or fighting game fan this is a must buy.

And as for the customization i never thought it would work in a Fighter well i was wrong and the amount of customization is impressive. I know this would probably never happens but to me as of right now Injustice 2 is GOTY also the game doesn't give you the ability to buy Loot Boxes which in many cases today are annoying but i found that Injustice 2 Give you so many way to get them easily that's it ain't annoying or very little. The Game is enjoyable for both Veteran and Beginner in Fighter games i consider myself as a mid class fighter not Bad but not Pro and i enjoy playing online on some occasion. i can't stop coming back and that to me is a sing of a Great Game. I am even thinking of Buying the DLC's just to show my support and i am not the kind to buy DLC's If you liked Injustice 1 there is no way Injustice 2 won't entertain you i would also say the same for MK fan. This is a wonderful game for DC Fan and Fighter Fan.… Expand

    This game is very well made, it has the best story in any fighting game, and it introduces an RPG like gear system that adds a ton of replayability. The game overall is solid but emphasis has to be put on the story, it uses the DC universe really well and puts WB to shame, showing them how to create a good story using DC characters.

    We finally have one of the most anticipated NRS game recently. I really appreciated and have to congratulate NRS for such great effort for they making such a game. They revealed, announced and released the game in less than a year. I myself not a truly comic book nerdy but this game was too catchy for me. Not for the game itself but the features that they offering.

They revealed, announced and released the game in less than a year. I myself not a truly comic book nerdy but this game was too catchy for me. Not for the game itself but the features that they offering.

    Injustice 2 clearly best game that made by NRS by now and graphically best looking 2,5D fighting game out there.

    Story mode is truly a masterpiece and the cut-scenes are much better than many action-adventure IPs single handedly. Campaign runs more than 2 hours and it's gratifying. There are many surprising moments in plot progress which give you a decent thrill. Also, story mode has different endings. Dozens of pre-fight line just proved how developers made a good job on this.

    As for the gameplay, it is still carrying the same fundamentals and dynamics from the previous title. Interactive stage elements are still here. Combo system remained same in overall yet getting more fluid like MKX. Roster is chosen wisely and bringing all the fan-favourite characters that includes: Superman, Batman, Joker, Brainiac, Swarmp Thing and Supergirl. Not to mention DLC characters yet to be come with future updates..Customization mode is great and i think it's the best Customization i ever seen. You can collect the XPs throughout the various game modes and use them for customize your character with individual gears. Customization items and options are quite enough for any kind of taste. Some characters also have special outfit option which is nice.

    Graphics are amazing. No doubt it has the best 3D fighting game graphicsever made. This is something you can rarely see in a fighting game and it's obvious that NRS pushed so hard in graphic department. Stage designs and lightings are amazing and very well done. You can feel the atmosphere. Sound effects and voice acting are also great for both story mode and the other modes. Each character's cinematic - dramatic pre-after battle sequences are genuinely deliver the fest that you deserve. Facial animations, effects, stage transitions, character traits and supers..everything is awesome.

    Injustice 2 offering not only an online mode but tons of offline gamemode as well. One of the major single player mode is "Multiverse Mode". This is where you gonna spend your hours since it allows to upgrade your character's level. You can unlock the various universes with various difficulty settings in this mode.

    This is the best fighting game of the year hands down! Grab the full package, the game already offering so much things to do so enjoy it. Thank you NRS, for making such an awesome game..Play on.    … Expand

    The fact that I can make competitve mode work in Single Fight makes me very happy. The characters as always have personalities that suit them really well. I like how some of the new characters play. The voice acting is really good; I like how they got Antony Del Rio as Blue Beetle since he's fluent in Spanish and that he's underrated.

    The players can relate to their character of choice and although the Gear System is strange, I just don't touch it most of the time. Yes there's spammers online but **** them. They are as dumb as people who complain about fighting games in general. If you like the DC Universe and the gameplay engine of Mortal Kombat, you'll love this title.

    Game is 10/10 Why you may ask?
    is it the graphics? The gear? The story? The super moves? The ability to cancel combos?
    Nope non of those throw that in the garbage
    The reason it's 10/10 is you can be Batman kicking the **** out of a huge DC roster...
    Okay seriously
    Its a great game actually has a branching story, great character selection, Great modes multiverse is amazing

    What an improvement from the first one. Graphically impressive if you want to show off HDR this is a game to show. Fighting is a lot faster still Batman and Superman feels a little sluggish but not hard to master. Loads of things to do after completing the main story and it introduced its best feature the multiverse.

There's plenty to do for single player and offline, thanks to "The Multiverse", and the online experience is competitive yet fun for all. With the new addition of character customization in the form of shaders and gear upgrades, the gameplay experience can really be made your own. It is important to note for newcomers to this type of game, and the players at large, the gear that affects stats has no effect in ranked, which I personally find as a positive. The character leveling is a bit tedious, but if you enjoy fighting, it's not that bad. And for the newcomers, the tutorials and introduction to the game help plenty, and your experience will be just as fun as if you had been playing for ten years. 9.8/10… Expand

    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!
