8.5/10

Injustice: Gods Among Us does a lot of things right. From a fantastic storyline, to a plethora of content, but minor balance and online bugs stop it from being the best it can be. Regardless, Injustice offers just about anything from the hardcore fighter to the beginner.

Unlockables are limited to alternate costumes (there aren’t many), concept art, music, and new Battle types. Seemingly every time you accomplish something in single or multiplayer modes, more avatar customization options open up. I’m sure all the exclusive pre-order bonuses, like GameStop’s “Red Son” costume pack or Wal-Mart’s “Batman Beyond” costume, will end up on the eShop eventually, and we already know that four additional characters—including Lobo—will be available before too long. There’s a lot of content here, and I can’t recommend Injustice highly enough for bo…

When it comes to the fighting game genre, you're often forced to select your preferred type. Are you a player of 2D or 3D titles? Tekken or Dead or Alive? Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat? Each series has its own unique identity, restricting its audience to a specific brand. As such, you'd expect Injustice: Gods Among Us, the latest brawler from NetherRealm Studios, to cater to Mortal Kombat fans, but instead it's a much more ambitious fighter, incorporating elements from multiple different titles, in order to deliver something familiar yet unique.

Injustice: Gods Among Us is a bold new fighting game franchise that introduces a deep, original story featuring a large cast of favorite DC Comics icons such as Batman, Harley Quinn, Solomon Grundy, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman and many others.

Playground scores are about to be settled. Injustice: Gods Among Us mixes the fighting prowess of gaming’s goriest brawler, Mortal Kombat, with a roster of DC Comics stars to finally give everyone a chance to see whether Batman or Superman would win in a fight. But can its clash of superstar heroes and villains deliver a superpowered beat ‘em up? We fire up the PS3 to find out.

NetherRealm really nailed the art style down with this game with the game having a nice gritty/realistic look without falling too far into looking cartoony. Characters like Grundy look really menacing and the designs for most of the characters look pretty damn good; there’s also a surprising amount of detail on all the models. The only thing that’s a bit weird with the graphics is anytime the game jumps into a cutscene; textures start to look a bit muddy and the character models clash horribly with the environment if it’s not one of the fighting stages.

It's Mortal Kombat's shell but with Batman. And everything's better with Batman...

From the moment I started playing Injustice: Gods Among Us it was clear that the game was an extremely well thought out game that would appeal to the masses. NeatherRealm were extremely careful in staying true to the character and worlds of these DC characters and they did so brilliantly. Even though I felt that the traditional fighting aspect may have been a small step from Mortal Kombat, There are so many little extra touches that will make you keep going back for weeks to come. If you’re into fighting games or have even the slightest interest in the DC universe then you have to pick this up...

Marvel fighting games have enjoyed something of a long and storied history over the years thanks to Capcom, while DC's heroes have been by and large underrepresented in the fight genre beyond the likes of Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. With NetherRealm successfully bringing Mortal Kombat back into the spotlight a couple of years ago, the studio has turned its attention back to the DC universe for the dramatically titled Injustice: Gods Among Us. This time DC's best of the best take the limeli...

However, I am a huge fighting game fan, and I’ve got the fight stick and blisters to prove it. Thankfully NetherRealm Studio’s new fighter Injustice: Gods Among Us hopes to turn Batman and Superman into the next Ryu and Ken.
