I'm not the world's greatest beat-em-up player. When I play online I can just about hold my own against those ranked towards the middle. I can beat the AI on the default difficulty setting without any major issues.

Lots of single-player content; story; ‘Clash breakers'; loading times

Balancing issues; stage transitions

The idea of taking beloved superheroes from the pages of comic books and churning out a fighting game isn't anything new (Capcom's been operated that racket since the mid '90s), and it's the second time NetherRealm has attempted to do right by DC Comics. Unlike Mortal Kombat vs.

" Injustice: Gods Among Us " is an interesting piece of fan service, a good fighter, and a brilliant game. While it edges towards accessible in both its fighting mechanic, and its comic book references, this is one of the rare occasions when balance has lead to a better overall game, instead of a...

I played the demo which was the reason I purchased the game in the first place but it was much better than I expected. The game has an epic story line and the game play is just awesome plus the use of the DC characters is done exceptionally.

After producing the very successful Mortal Kombat reboot back in 2011, NetherRealm once again tried its hand within the DC Comics universe and has now released Injustice: Gods Among Us, a fighting game dedicated completely to the super-powered characters from comic books made by DC.

+Impressive story; +Great roster of characters; +Lots of attention to detail in terms of design

NetherRealm Studios has succeeded in providing a captivating single-player story within Injustice: Gods Among Us. The amount of gameplay provided displays a well-developed title that offers a memorable fighting experience to the gaming community.

Developed by NetherRealm Studios, the team behind 2011's Mortal Kombat reboot, Injustice: Gods Among Us sounds like a DC fan's wet dream come true. What could be more ...

Easy to pick-up and play, even if you're not a big fighting game fan because of easy-to-remember three-button combinations; The dialogue will make you laugh at times and seeing each character's super attack move is entertaining.

Hardcore gamers may find the story mode to be too short, offering around 3-4 hours to gameplay – That's assuming you're watching the cutscenes and taking around 15 minutes to complete each superhero's story; The story itself is somewhat confusing and the "Clash" system is a dud.

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.
