Overall, Injustice 2's advancements not only soar over its predecessor, but over the majority of other games in the fighting genre, too. Packing a ridiculous amount of content, including a single player experience that's crafted to perfection, Injustice 2 is the prototype for fighters to come.

Terrific story; Multiverse Mode is the greatest single-player experience in fighting game history; Gear system adds a fresh gameplay element

Confusing menus; Some characters are basically clones of Mortal Kombat fighters

Injustice 2 is the best fighting video game released this generation, with stellar single-player and online content, addictive gear and customisation options, fast and frantic gameplay and incredible graphics, all of which impressively realise DC Comics' most iconic superheroes and supervillains.

Despite being terrible at fighting games, I absolutely loved the original Injustice. I managed to complete the campaign and even win the odd match online, but it was the story itself that stood out to me, especially being a fan of DC.

It's hard for anything with the DC Comics logo slapped on it to escape the looming, bellicose shadow of the present-day DC Cinematic Universe. Indeed, Netherrealm Studios's sequel to the sneering Injustice isn't above frequent visual references to the morose house that film director Zack Snyder...

Injustice 2 allows gamers to choose from a massive roster of DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains and build the ultimate version of their favorite DC characters.

Concept: A sequel that offers enhanced combat, a silly (but action-packed) story, and collectible loot galore Graphics: Few details are spared as the titans clash and the world is destroyed around them, even in the little things like lip-syncing.

Injustice 2's fights improve on Gods Among Us in nearly every way, specifically addressing fan concerns about movement speed and giving you new ways to burn meter. Visually, the DC roll call shines even as they star in a flat and unnecessarily grim story.

There are heretics for whom superhero culture holds no appeal or understanding, but I wager that Injustice 2 will captivate even these skeptics. With responsive fighting mechanics, an engaging and fast-moving campaign, a generous roster of characters and top-drawer presentation, Injustice 2 will...

I don't have any problem saying that Injustice 2 is a better game than its predecessor. The game's bombastic and nonsensical story is easy to overlook when it's so well executed and supported by Grade A fighting controls.

The first Injustice was a well-done fighting game, but it's completely outclassed by its sequel. NetherRealm Studios offers up a love letter to the DC Universe and fighting game fans.
