NetherRealm has been on a roll since 2011's Mortal Kombat reboot, and with the release of Injustice 2, it's come one step closer to perfecting its particular brand of fighting game.

Fighting mechanics that are accessible without sacrificing overall complexity; Impressive story mode cinematics draw you into a surprisingly engaging conflict; Large variety of characters and gear sets inspire player experimentation; Alternative pursuits suited for both casual or competitive...

Convoluted currency system overcomplicates gear management

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.

Before you fight another player in Injustice 2 , the game tells you your win odds. It's a slightly disconcerting thing to be presented with just before getting stuck into yet another online ranking match. You have a four per cent chance of winning, the game often tells me. Well damn.

I bought this game right from the start and it hasn't failed me yet. With a great and emotional story to a never ending about of unlocks and other cool features. The graphics are out of this world and the attention to detail is just amazing.

Injustice 2 , the follow-up to Mortal Kombat X and the original Injustice, has just arrived on Xbox One. The new Injustice brings together more than 20 iconic DC heroes and villains in a battle for the fate of the world.

A great roster of popular and slightly obscure heroes and villains; One of the best story modes in fighting games; with impressive animation and voice acting; Multiverse mode adds tons of single-player staying power; So much gear to collect

No way to accept random fight requests from other players while in single-player; Gear can imbalance gameplay; No way to autoequip all characters with best gear

Super, man!

Story Mode and Online are brilliant; New characters are awesome

Quite a few Injustice characters dropped, Missing S.T.A.R; Labs weirder mini-games

Awesome game must play !!!!!

It's hard to believe that it's been over four years since NetherRealm's Injustice: Gods Among Us release. It was a game that not only shook the gaming industry but went on to shape the way these DC characters were portrayed in film and comic book media.

This time around, Injustice is fast, and it hits hard. A variety of modes, and a story that is presented with skill and precision leaves Injustice 2 as one of my favorite fighting games in ages.

This hurts, speaking as a Street Fighter fan, but Injustice 2 is the most complete fighting game out there right now. The single player story is fantastic, focused and makes the most of the beautiful new engine. It’s absolutely bulging with content, whether you want to play solo or try your luck online, and the core game mechanics have been expanded and improved where it matters. Plus it still plays perfectly on a control pad - there’s no need to splash out on an expensive fight stick just to stay competitive. With a whole roster of new and revamped characters, there’s plenty here for fans and newcomers alike, and the combo-heavy gameplay feels so much slicker than the zoning-focused original. Whether you’re into DC’s colourful cast of characters or not, Netherrealm has created a fantastic fighter that’s definitely worth your time. Buy Injustice 2 here from Game
