    Not a big fan of superheroes but I liked this!
    I personally prefer DC more than Marvel due to the darker approach, so I might be a little bit biased but this is perhaps my favorite superhero based fighting game.
    The story is surprisingly decent, it's not very short and has some interesting moments in it, which is unusual for a game of this genre. Gameplay mechanics are very smooth and    Not a big fan of superheroes but I liked this!

    Gameplay mechanics are very smooth and floaty, landing combos feels fun even though it's quite easy because at times it feels like the game plays itself, which is hard to explain. Also some challenges can be a pain in the ass like in most fighting games.

    Lastly, the stages look very good and the graphics are lowkey ahead of their time, this game aged well in some ways.

    Final Rating: "Good" ~ 7/10.    … Expand

    Really good fighting game, great combos, you can feel the impact of the punches, it's very satisfying, fun to play, and it has a surprisingly good story.

    It's a bit of a different fighting game, but I like it. I much prefer other fighting games over this one, but it's good enough for me to come back to time to time.

    Injustice is a simple, but fun fighting game. It's an improvement over Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe. Unfortunately, it is inferior to 2011's Mortal Kombat. This title features less fighters, modes and unlockables. As a result, it feels like substantial content is missing despite the solid gameplay. That being said, fans of MK and DC Comics will certainly enjoy it. I would rate it with anInjustice is a simple, but fun fighting game. It's an improvement over Mortal Kombat Vs DC Universe.

    Nice fighting game in the DC Universe, great effort to make the characters authentic. The gameplay is rather rigid (same studio than MK) but still playable. Very good story for a fighting game too.

A nivel narrativo presenta una excelente historia, muy comiquera, sobre un Superman que genera su propio régimen totalitario, mezclado con viajes entre distintas lineas temporales que enganchan en una historia que sabe mezclar elementos de seriedad (y oscuridad, propios de DC), así como también tono humorístico y cómico. A nivel jugable es un juego que presenta una forma más amigable y simple de introducir al combate estilo "NetherRealm"; lo que se agradece y atrae a público nuevo más allá de la saga Mortal Kombat. La idea de generar una "tarjeta de combate" donde se resumen tus estadísticas aporta un elemento social importante al modo multijugador. A nivel artístico el juego cumple, siendo un gran reflejo de sus versiones más comiqueras, y siendo un puente con las adaptaciones más cinematográficas. Por último, a nivel técnico el juego es un gran representan de su generación; teniendo un gran rendimiento a nivel gráfico y un estable framerate (lo jugué retrocompatible en XBOX one, y anda a 60 cuadros estables en las batallas). En síntesis: es un gran ejemplo de que es posible trasladar el estilo de combate a lo Mortal Kombat a una franquicia muy conocida y famosa (como es el caso del universo DC); el cuál para su época, estuvo muy bien y cumplió de sobremanera.… Expand

    This game is not the competitive fighting game you might have been hoping for if you were an avid Mortal Kombat 9 player. This game is fun for casual players but in tournament play it is painfully boring.

But the story mode is what makes this game shine and makes me very excited for the squeal with a civil war between a power hungry evil superman vs a underground rebellious batman,I won't spoil any thing but it's pretty sweet but unfortunately short. Which brings me to the cons I only have 3 problems with this game and they are the short story,the fighting can feel stiff and the online can be very lagy. Other than that it's a great game and you should buy if you're a DC fan or a fighting game fan.… Expand

    I rarely play fighting games, but this game keeps me in touch with the genre. It reminds of why I love DBZ fighters, and why I love Killer Instinct. Top this off with adding beloved DC characters, and you have a fighter that tells an action-packed plot, and multiplayer make this a worthwhile game.

    this game was awesome, but not quite as good as I wanted it to be. It reminded me of mortal kombat, but slightly more polished, and instead of fatalities you had these super moves that were pretty badass, but of course I prefer fatalities. and the story started off pretty good, but ended anticlimactically. fun game, preferred mortal kombat though.

    ive been collecting comics for about a year now. this game is amazing in every way, although there are some flaws like all games have. but these are minor. i personally find it annoying to always pause the game to figure out how to do a move that souns cool but its quite useless. that is the only reason im not giving this game a 10.

Injustice gods among us is the next fighting game from Netherrelm Studios the developers of the excellent Mortal Kombat reboot of 2011. What i enjoy most about this developer is that Netherrelm bothers to include an actual story, and the story here in this game is a blast, its action packed, well voice acted with a good soundtrack and special congratulations to Kevin Conroy the voice of batman, he was my favorite. Here is a short summary of the story, first off yes it is a multiverse story taking place in two dimensions, but it starts off with Joker has detonated a nuclear device in the heart of Metropolis by having superman kill lois Lane with the detonator linked to her heart beat and when lois died the bomb went off. Now you ask how did Joker get superman to kill the woman he loved, well scarecrow uses his fear toxins to drug superman into thinking he was fighting doomsday, then when pushed to the edge during questioning Superman just murders the joker despite batman's protest. This paves the way to Superman becoming a dictator of his world. Then it jumps back to the other universe where batman is heading to Arkham to find Joker but instead is greeted by death stroke, defeating him then goes to the Justice Leagues base to only uncover Joker in Metropolis about to detonate a nuclear device given to him by Lex Luthor. So Batman goes to face Joker but in the heat of the battle some weird thing happens and Batman along with Joker and a couple of other heroes such as Aquaman, Green Lantern and wonder woman, they get transported into a parallel universe the one i mentioned at the beginning where Superman murders the joker. What results from there is that the heroes and Joker realize that this isn't their world, and that they are hunted by a tyranical Superman they try to find out what is going on, and how to fight Superman's regime. Trust me this story is well worth the ride because the stakes are constantly raised to epic proportions, with some shocking team up like Death stroke and Cyborg. Now lets get to the games positives, as i said the story is well written and voice acted with a good supporting soundtrack. Now lets get down tot he fighting mechanics, it is the best in its genre, you have a bounce cancel dash system to break in and extend combos, you have environmental based attacks like knocking a character into another section of a level, you have a new wager class system where you bet an amount of your characters power meter to win a clash and a chance at dealing extra damage and regaining a bit of health. Also just like most fighting games you have a super meter to where to you can either use to supercharge you special attacks or save it all to perform a massive super that does a lot of damage. Also the combo layout has a light medium and heavy attacks with the 4th triggering a character trait that seems unique to each character, my personal favorite one is doomsday's where it gives him temporarily a strong protective coating that soaks a lot of damage. Also the unlocks you gain as you level up, like access cards, and armory keys tot he hall of justice where you can purchase things like concept art and alternate characters costumes three of my favorites are Bane Regime, Raven Regime, and Joker Insurgency. Also the using a modified version of unreal the graphics are fantastic to the point of during a fight you actually feel like you are watching and participating in a fight with two deadly superheroes or the classic villain versus hero. There are also tons of stuff happening int the environmental background, and the lighting works really well where if a character is wearing armor and say you are standing in a spot light it actually looks like light is shining off of the armor. In my opinion there is better extra content then in mortal kombat because, you have a list of challenges that put different spins on battles like Mirror Match where at the beginning of each fight the game selects a character and you fight as that character and so does the ai. Also there is a big massive challenge mode called star labs missions where each of the 24 characters on the roster has 10 missions unique to them, and there is about over 200 of these missions some of them difficult to three star. One other positive is that the fight combos themselves flow really smooth when performed, and there is an extensive tutorial mode to teach you everything you need to know. Now there are just two negatives i found with the game and they are not with glitches or framerate those are fine but there is no tag team mode like in mortal Kombat plus while the story is good multiverse stories have been done before but none of these two issues really bothered me enough to deduct anything from the score, so i recommend this game to anyone who likes fighting games, or the DC characters or if you like blockbuster stories… Expand

    Music and sound acting? Another strong aspect of this game. The cast has Troy Baker, which is the harbinger of exceptional work. Soundtrack job is done by Dean Grinsfelder, known for his achievements on some other Marvel cartoons; like X-Men, Hulk, and some good documentary stuff. Nice melodies and bashing effects to our ears. 9/10.

    The visual art and the quality of graphics are just awesome. There's no FIGHTNING game looks better than this title at the market right now. So, 9/10 again.

    The roster for playable characters are below my expectations honestly. Ed Boons states that, this is because of the effort for creating balanced chars with logical attributes that fits to their comic book nature. I can understand that. Your favorite DC Comics heroes are still there; Sups, Bats, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Joker, General Zod, Solomon Grundy and vice versa. 8/10 anyway.

    Last, but not least, the multiplayer gameplay is above the standarts of Mortal Kombat 9, the previous title of Netherrealms. There are games out there, with better lag management than Injustice, but this game is at zenit in its category of fightning games. And the guys at Warner Bros are constantly watching the forums on Steam and their official board, taking the feedback from players at a serious level, and releasing patches nearly every week, to get the online action at the best level possible. The biggest visible problem was the empty rooms of lobbies, which was because of regional lock. Now they fixed it with the latest patch. This of effort of theirs, and the current status of the multiplayer deserves a 7,5/10.

    As my last appeal, Injustice is the best fightning game on PC, and one of the best of its genre including all platforms like XBOX, PS. It's in the same league with Street Fighter 4, Tekken 6; trust me.

    My final score in this critic for IGAUUE is 8.7/10. But I'm giving it a 10 here, to make sure that it gets closer to the point it deserves.    … Expand

    A great fighting game, even if you aren't familiar with the characters of the DC Universe. The cut-scenes look terrible compared to the actual fights, but the fluid animations make up for this minor complaint. The online system is solid, and you really feel like a superhero when you pull of a great combo.
