    A good fighting game for DC universe and its characters.
    I just enjoyed the storytelling not fan of Its fighting combat.

    Pretty enjoyable experience but little bit stiff and rough on the edges. Story is really nice and engaging, difficulty level is balanced and fair. But mechanic of combat are somewhat clunky and not so smooth. General idea is superb, roster of heroes is quite satisfying but the graphic design is kinda ugly for me.

    no me gusta la historia de injustice, me parece muy meh, el roster de personajes esta bien, pero viniendo de warner bros esperaba mas en la jugabilidad al ser un juego de peleas un poco mas lento que los comunes, escenarios zzz, historia medio zzzz

    Not a horrible game. The story of course is horrible. Is yet another fighting game with no big twist or any game defining mechanics. I had a big issue with it losing my progress however every time I played a local multiplayer battle, wasting hours of my life spent star missions.

    Decent fighting game with a decent story mode that is certainly better than Mortal Kombat's story mode.

    Es un juego de lucha bastante entretenido dentro del genero, aunque con una jugabilidad bastante vacía y unas misiones secundarias bastante mal logradas , lo único bueno que le veo a este videojuego es la fascinante historia que nos puede dar

    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.

    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

    The animation of each character and their super moves are top shelf and amazing. I'm not into multiplayer, I prefer single player story-driven campaigns and on that front, the story bit of this game is some laughably weak tea that might as well been left off.

But I do appreciate that's not what most people are drawn to this game for, which is basically Mortal Kombat with DC characters and in that respect, it definitely succeeds. My gut feeling wants to rate this slightly lower but the truth is that, despite the missed story potential, and the fact I got it relatively cheap on sale, I don't regret buying it. I just wish it had been something with more substance.… Expand

    Used to be a big fan of these style of games until burnout. This game actually got me interested back into the fighting genre last year or so.

    It's story had interesting concepts and the game-play was fun, but there are many issues. The mini-games were mostly boring and repetitive, and the game looked super ugly, Still mostly enjoyable though.

    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

    I don't usually enjoy fighting games, but this game was an exception to the rule, the game has several well known characters at your disposal and the controls work fine. Story mode is great, but not very long, as this is mostly focused on multiplayer.

    I really wanted to like this game. It seemed like a truly next-gen game coming with all DLC, I couldn't resist. Unfortunately this game failed to meet my expectations. The roster of villains is awful I don't get why they put in some unpopular characters instead on iconic villains even the add-ons couldn't save this one. The graphics are below average for a PS4 game. The cut scenes lookI really wanted to like this game. It seemed like a truly next-gen game coming with all DLC, I couldn't resist.

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

    A Quite Good fighting game, with great characters, and special moves. Unlike some fighting games, the fighting system is fluid, and natural. It can get repetitive,especially if you're often playing alone; like me :(

    It's okay I guess, but there's not much to this game just fights here and there. I was under the impression this game was more like an action game where you moved about the universe and did things, not just fights over and over.

    I never played the original game but the ultimate edition has a pretty good amount of content and a very solid fighting system. Comic book geeks will really enjoy the story and playing as the game's various characters (I enjoyed this, too, even though I'm not much into comic books).

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

    A quick fighting game that is easy to get into and doesn't require the player to memorize very much to be good. The Playstation 4-version has a graphics overhaul with higher resolution and better anti-aliasing, but aside from that there is nothing new.
