Injustice: Gods among us (PS3) Introduction The comic book superhero game genre has seen a recent flurry of activity. First we had 'Batman: Arkham Assylum' and then hot on the trail of its own success came 'Batman: Arkham City'.

A great game in its own right; lots of options that give longevity

Not Batman..

Great characters. Not my type of game, i kept mashing buttons.

Great fighting game, but I have to knock it back a peg for its lack of colour. Compare this to Marvel vs Capcom, and it's cbasically the same as comparing Man of Steel to the Avengers. It's bleak and grey while the Marvelous valentine keeps it colourful and jovial. But the game play is great.

The folks at NetherRealm have given us a taste. With Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe they gave us just a touch of what a game based on the DC comic world would be like, and we loved it.

Gorgeous graphics; Blisteringly quick load times; or none at all for story missions; Cinematic presentation it top-notch; Fantastic voice and music across the board; Multiple control schemes to fit your play style; 5 difficulty levels and a very deep training system welcomes all players; Online...

Easily-triggered special attacks might get dull after a while? (except for Aquaman – that's never getting old

Injustice: Gods Among Us might just be the best story ever told in the fighting game space. That's not really a bold statement though, when you consider some of the ludicrous stories that have been tacked onto fighting games of the past, but with its comic book foundation and established characters...

Injustice: Gods Among Us is a game for comic fans. It tells an intriguing DC story first, across alternate universes where roles are reversed, and is a fighting game second -- whereas most games in the genre take the opposite approach.

+ Awesome story; + Brutal combat; + DC fan service; + Superman v Batman

- Wagers suck; - Minor control issues; - Heavy characters are rubbish

From the studio behind Mortal Kombat, Injustice: Gods Among Us is a fighting game featuring an extensive roster of DC superheroes and villains. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Maybe Gareth Talbot has some answers.

A fighting game story mode that actually contains a story! Intuitive, straightforward gameplay that doesn't sacrifice depth; A cast of favourites with great costume design

Wonder Woman's character model looks like a pair of tits on a stick; Lacks tutorials for more advanced play; Online modes are basic, though functional

Bit of fun, all round.

Just as expected the game offers you very intense fights between your favourite DC universe characters. The game story is average but the gameplay is simply awesome. I started playing the game and didnt even realize that i have been glued to it for 3 hours in a stretch.

When it comes to superheroes-turned-street fighters, DC Comics' stable of superfriends have always received the short end of the stick. While Marvel enjoys the steady success of Capcom's legendary Vs. series, the likes of Justice League Task Force and Mortal Kombat vs.

Brutal presentation makes you feel powerful, New mechanics build upon Mortal Kombat's foundation in creative ways, S.T.A.R; Labs missions are a fun distraction

Minimal educational tools; Disappointingly dull story; Lacks replay support
