It's made by the people who do Mortal Kombat, meaning it'll give you the most enjoyable single-player fighting game experience out there. Most fighters just focus on multiplayer and give a small single-player campaign. Here, a whole new world within the DC universe was created for the game, with tons of back story and intrigue. The fighting is obviously the show here though and that works wonders, especially for someone who doesn't usually play fighting games, like myself. I personally love the combat system here but I've never been able to get past the fact that the characters feel too stiff all the time. It's a small thing really but it's always bugged me about fighters from Netherealm. Regardless, this is one of the best fighters on the market now, and the only option for a fighter on the PS4 atm. But I can't recommend someone picking this up if they've already played the previous versions to death. Very little reason to do so unless you're just a die hard fan. Anyway this is a very fun game and I'd recommend it to all. Expand

    Injustice: Gods Among Us is fighting game I picked up for free on the Playstation store as it was part of the deal of the month in December, so I didn't hesitate to pick it up. I did recently play Injustice previously on Xbox 360 but never experienced the story until now.

    The story is quiet interesting because you would usually expect superheroes vs villains scenario to play out, but you're facing off against other superheroes maybe because of manipulation or not agreeing with views etc. but I wondered before hand whether or not it would become stale fighting villains constantly until it switched and did well to keep it fresh. You usually play out 3 fights with each character until you switch to another characters timeline.

    The graphics as well as the game play has improved from the gen switch, as you aren't just drawn to the characters but the backdrop as well and because most things are interactive, seeing a heroes fly into a stone statue at full speed is that much more salivating. The game play compares to that of Mortal Kombat in the way its not as fast paced as Street Fighter and not as slow as Tekken but a solid middle, so you can expect to still link up combo moves if your good with a certain character.

    My final review would be the game is good and it does match up with other fighting games and is certainly one I will continue playing in the future. The stuff I didn't particularly like was a repetitive the story ;me as a timid DC fan myself I didn't appreciate the character switch every 5 minutes or so, I would much prefer a campaign for every character in my honest opinion. You end up just grinding the story out and when you're favorite character comes up but don't get to attached because they can be gone in an instant. I found the touch pads interaction too cheesy also.

    The game is a good purchase if paying and worth a try with this deal as its free at the moment.
    Love the variety of different outfits and a good solid roster.

    Thanks for reading m review of Injustice: Gods Among Us-Ultimate Edition (Ps4)

    I haven't played a lot of fighting games in the past. Sure, I'd participated in some occasional button smashing with friends on a Mortal Kombat game and have played my fair share of Super Smash Brothers (if that even counts), but I'm definitely not experienced. But I got this game as a gift, and it changed me!

    Seriously, I went into it with very low expectations and I fell in love

    Seriously, I went into it with very low expectations and I fell in love immediately. It made me want to get more fighting games and I have since purchased Mortal Kombat on my Playstation Vita (which is also a good game). I don't have a lot to compare against, but I love the combat style in Injustice. Button mashing isn't going to win you many matches, but the difficulty level isn't so steep that I couldn't enjoy myself. I even went online and sure enough there was plenty of people there that I could compete with. Even after beating the story, my wife and I sometimes hop on to fight each other. Speaking of the story, I thought it was very compelling. It wasn't overly long, but it kept me entertained.

    In conclusion, any game that can take someone largely uninterested in a genre and churn up some previously unknown excitement is a good game.

    But to be honest it's nothing new. More of the same and priced a little bit to high. The graphics and textures aren't that impresive on ps4 as I hoped them to be. There better then on ps3 but not that much.
    If you like the DC Universe and fighting games then Injustice is for you but if you're a fighting game enthusiast I would stick to TEKKEN TAG 2 or Mortal Kombat.
    7 out of 10 for me. Bought it for 15£ and it's an ok buy.

    It's free on PS PLUS for Decembet 2014 so it's worth picking up for "free" ;)

    Horrible story and scenario. It is like a cheap action movie with limited budget. Writers pushed themselves so hard to create a story that can be playable by all charecters that DC has. Unfortunately the result is total failure. Single player fights are dull and boring.
    On the otherside, PVP mode is fine. You may make 4-5 fights with you friends without getting bored.

    Notes: I think the game should have more intros and outros for the characters. This game is great worth the full price .

    I sent e-mails to every company I could find that was involved in making and publishing the game at this time I still have not received any sort of response. I have had to start over from the beginning. I thought maybe it was my save at first so I tried to restoring to an old save but same problem. At this point I have not had a reply from a single company and have had to replay massive amounts of star lab missions, etc.
    Hopefully, what ever this glitch was doesn't happen to anyone else. But if it does and you need help, you will not get even a response.
    Would have given the game an 8 out of ten before 6 months ago, but knowing the developers and publishers don't care about a player once the purchase has been made has reduced the score.
    In the future I do not plan on purchasing games from this developer due to this.

    Injustice: Gods Among Us is merely an okay fighting game, one with little in the way of lasting appeal or engaging gameplay, but decent enough for the first couple of hours. The next gen upgrade has DLC included on the disk and a slight graphical overhaul, and I find it difficult to recommend not just to people who owned the game on last gen but newcomers entirely, unless it's a rental.

If you like fighting games you will love it for that alone since the fighting in it is great, everything is very polished, along with great backgrounds that you can interact with in more then one way, and and there's plenty of DC characters as well for you to choose from but the best part for me and a added bonus was the main story/chapter mode that you can play solo along to as I said above and that along with everything I mentioned is what makes this game a must play for both fighter fans and DC fans alike. Lastly this game is only 19.99 right now 12/14 and if your a PS Plus member you can even get it free for a limited time which is crazy because this is truly one of the best fighting games ever and most innovative at the moment as well and gives me hope for future fighting games if they choose to follow this direction more often.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Injustice: Gods Among Us is addictively fun. It has great fighting mechanics reminiscent to Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. It has a rather large roster of DC characters along with some DLC characters like Martian Manhunter, General Zod, and Lobo which come with the game which is quite nice. The game also comes with all the DLC skins so you have a lot of different looks for each hero and villian. I found myself experimenting with each skin because they are so interesting variety-wise. But the main single-player portion of the game is the story. The story basically explains what would happen if Superman lost his s*** due to him being drugged by the Joker, forcing him to kill his own family. He then straight up murders the Joker! This shocked me because Superman would never do this, but he did. We soon find out that those events happened in a parallel dimension, and the heroes and villians from the other dimension get transported when Joker is about to nuke the city of Metropolis. From then on it is your job to stop Superman's evil dictatorship which was caused by him losing everyone he cared about. The story is easily the strongest part of the game. But that's not to say that it has excellent multi-player. I still spend hours on end playing this game with friends locally and over the PlayStation Network. And even better, it is remastered for the PS4! The graphics are updated as well as smoother framerate. If you loved the PlayStation 3 version, you owe it to yourself to check this one out. It even goes for prices in between $20-$30. 9/10 (Awesome) Expand

    First things first: The story was GREAT and the graphycs were simply beautiful! The controls are a bit hard to understand but if you can learn all combos while progressing. The thing that I disliked the most about this game was the multiplayer...but it is a fighting game so I hadn't had my hopes up.

    Firstly, I love Mortal Kombat. MK2 was one of my childhood favs and I got to the point whereby I was awesome at it. Many of the moves within Injustice are the same as those in MK series, and for that, it was easy to pick up and start playing.

    As a two player game it's good fun and we've enjoyed it in my household. The characters are varied and fun to try out and work through.

    The reason I'm only rating this 5 though is there's something not quiet right about the controls. It lags or the stick doesn't work at all, and this is something I've heard is the case off friends also. This becomes frustrating when you are blocking in terms of what your pushing, but your character is taking punches to the face. This makes the 1 player mode incredibly frustrating. At least on two players both fall victim of the issue. If they released a patch that fixed this bug, I'd be happy to rate this a 7 or 8. Roll on MKX!

    Cons:

    Poor graphics for a next gen game. Heck, If you played this side-by-side with a well polished PS3 fighter, a non-gamer would have trouble telling you which was on the PS4 and which was on the PS3.

    Game play is nothing special. No special systems, no deep character moves, very hum drum.

    Some characters feel like they're just repackaged versions of one another. I hate when games do this, it's a cheap way to inflate the roster.

The graphics are below average for a PS4 game. The cut scenes look awful like I was playing DC Universe Online it's that bad! Next the controls are bad and they expect you to use both the analog sticks and D-Pad if you wan't to pull of cool moves. The controls are made so that if you hit the right stick forward or backward you can move up or back however they did a terrible job implementing this, making it often you have to be lucky or press really hard and fast to actually move up with the joystick. Course the D-Pad works perfectly but if you want to jump in the air you can only use the joystick so forcing you to either play one way or the other while missing out on some mechanics or struggle to use them all by using both the joysticks and D-Pad eliminating the purpose of any strategic movement and just makes you want to stop playing the game and frustrating yourself. The idea of superheroes and vilians fighting each other is poorly implemented into the game also as most characters have short moves that are a hassle to preform and by the time your about to you get meter-burned and knocked out by your opponent. The game makes it that your punches are incredibly weak and eventually will get slower. They made the game so kid friendly and non violent but characters are repetitive having only 1 basic intro. 1 super move, and that's pretty much it. Voice acting took little our no effort in this game as many of the characters sound like Warner Bros decided to hire the cheapest people for that role. Superman is too overpowered and is always the final boss at the end of arcade mode the start ot the fight is lazy and is just three soldiers trying to apprehend you until superman arrives, than the final cut scene is no more than pictures played with narration . Many of the characters don't have weapons or can only be used for a short period of time. It gets boring after an hour and by 5 days passed you would have already used every character, preformed every move and had all the fun in this game. Expand

    So,the graphics are not that astonishing,but i do not mind that.Game is fun,lots of characters to choose,great level transition and use of surrounding objects in game.It's even better if you play it with friends.

    An excellent DC story wrapped up in a fighting game. This has changed how I look at fighting games and the story they bring to the table.

I'm a sucker for alternate universe stories in comics and seeing how they differ from origins and this game didn't disappoint. A battle between Batman and Superman at its core with the world and other heroes getting wrapped up in it. The transitions from story to battle are well thought out and they work for me (minus the QTE events those can go away).
    The fighting feels like a little more fluid Mortal Kombat and the roster of characters is most of the ones I would desire to play as. It's fun to bash either the AI or a buddy. The unlockables keep you coming back for more and I appreciate the simple menu layouts throughout as well as how easily you can change to alternate costumes.
    VO work is good.
    Some of the polish can be a little off in some of the scenes with a little slow down in frame rate too (never in battle). Noticeable but not distracting enough to not recommend.
    Amazingly good story, I wanted more. I care about the story in a fighting game, yes and more yes.
    Specials don't feel overpowered.
    Having two life bars and no rounds keeps it fluid and fast.
    Environmental damages and objects - amazing.

К примеру так называемое "столкновение" теперь перестало быть непредсказуемым, а выбивание противника за пределы локации сулит большие неприятности только оппоненту. С другой стороны бои стали зрелищнее, а шкала набора спешалов обрела более глубокий стратегический характер. Вообще говоря о мелочах, можно отметить, что в той же сюжетной компании мы теперь изредка участвуем в происходящем, по средствам лёгких мини-игр, от успеха или провала которых чаще всего будет зависеть будем ли мы начинать бой с полной полоской жизни, без наложенных на нас негативных эффектов или же это будет с потенциальным врагом под властью ИИ. Нарощенный темп в боях ПОКА ни на что не влияет. А в общем и целом теперь понятно как будут развиваться Mk и DC по отдельности, и при их сравнении Inustice проигрывает СБ2011.

    Injustice Gods Among Us is a game I never realized I wanted. It combines the great fighting style of Mortal Kombat, with the awesome roster of DC characters. But at no point does it feel like a Mortal Kombat game, it gives its own spin. The story mode is nothing special but the premise is pretty intriguing

Many things I like and don't like about this is scorpion why is he in here when we could of had a great DC villain like Metallo you know the robot with the Kryptonite Heart I really hate that they had to add Scorpion, The arenas to fight in feel like there is too little to choose from but the character selection is pretty good. I hate after you win the other character still gets up then falls down instead of just being down cause they are knocked out, but voice acting is great costumes are awesome graphics look a bit better one PS4 Overall it is a good game and fun remote play works great as a second controller and it is fun in general.

This was even more emphasized in story mode, where 2 realities mesh and there are 2 versions of each superhero in action making things even more chaotic. The story campaign is not that great and quite short, but it's good that they at least try to make things more enjoyable for single player, back in 90's you had usually just a simple ladder to climb and the rest was the fighting fun with friends. 2 player local versus mode is of course still present, but honestly, after a few matches and trying out a few different characters, you get usually bored pretty quickly. I liked the technical side of things, almost an absence of loading screens is a nice touch, as the game in story mode flows seamlessly, cut scenes are shifting to gameplay and back without any loading at all, which feels like a blessing after experiencing the hell of all loading screens on PS4 called Bloodborne. Online PVP worked surprisingly smoothly without any lag and what I liked as an addition are interactive arenas that you can use to your advantage. If I had to choose a good fighting game, I would still go for MK, as I prefer that universe and characters, but if you like these superheroes and want more quality fighting games, Injustice is a good place to go. 7/10 Expand

Injustice is especially bad because the badly animated story which has constant frame rate drops is so embarrassing to watch it makes the few short fight sequences forgettable.

    Multiplayer is a dull affair and often you will come across a geek performing the same move over and over until you either lose or quit out.

    There is a large amount of fighters to choose from the DC universe which look okay but the game mechanics are so old and rusty and dull that it really didn't matter if I played as Bane or Batman, I was falling asleep with all characters.

    The backgrounds are reasonably drawn but lack anything special to compete with modern full priced games. Because it was free I have given it a 1 rating. If I had paid it would be a zero. Avoid at all costs unless you enjoy mindless button mashing games which require no thought, brain power or skill.

    The history and description every character, I mean the power and strength, included in the game. I take the screenshots of these. I can mention the characters could play, those are AQUAMAN, ARES, BANE, BATMAN, BLACK ADAM, CATWOMAN, CYBORG, DEATHSTROKE, DOOMSDAY, THE FLASH, GREEN ARROW, GREEN LANTERN, HARLEY QUINN, HAWKGIRL, THE JOKER, KILLER FROST, LEX LUTHOR, NIGHTWING, RAVEN, SHAZAM, SINESTRO, SOLOMON GRUNDY, SUPERMAN, WONDER WOMAN, BATGIRL, LOBO, ZATANNA, ZOD, MARTIAN MANHUNTER, and SCORPION.

    You can choose your favourite character, of course you can see them in their films. The difficulty is to play with move list and S.T.A.R Lab. mission.

    A good yet flawed fighting game that serves as the base for one of DC's best modern stories and gives players access to a good amount of DC characters to fight with. However an odd FPS-drop during cutscenes, a very short story and good yet not great combat leaves more than a bit to be desired.
