+ Combat system; + Environment interactions; + Fan service; + Noob-friendly; still in-depth

Lack of obscure characters; Grinding to unlock everything

Injustice: Gods Among Us favors the resourceful and technically driven fighting game fans; hopefully, it will hold rank among the current crop of excellent competitive titles. It's hard to say exactly how Injustice is better than the rest of the pack, but it is easy to see it clearly outshines the...

Injustice: Gods Among Us borrows from classic DC comic story lines, such as Red Son, Earth-3, and even the Justice Lords episode of the Justice League Unlimited cartoon. It begins in an alternate Earth, where The Joker destroyed Metropolis and tricked Superman into killing his wife.

With the Mortal Kombat reboot getting rave reviews a couple of years ago, the team at NetherRealm Studios had quite a challenge on their hands to follow up on it properly. Instead of going with a pure MK game, they seemed to set out to craft a make-good on MK vs.

Amazing storyline; Great use of DC license; Stage transitions are awesome

Interactive backgrounds are annoying; Slight balancing issues; Minor online bugs
