For Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PS Vita, and PlayStation 4. Injustice Gods Among Us is a fighting game like Mortal Combat. I must say this is a thrilling fighting game with dozens of awesome characters and arenas to fight in.
Gameplay is fighting like Mortal Combat, Street Fighter, and Super Smash Bros. and there are countless different fighting moves to kick butt at. You get to play as numerous characters both heroic and villianous including Batman, Green Lantern, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, The Joker, Lex Luther, Bane, etc. How awesome are these characters? I really like how this game tried it's best to be an awesome fighting game and definitely not some cheap rip-off of Mortal Combat or Street Fighter. Each character has their own abilities such as Batman's gadgets of robotic bats and grapple and Green Lantern's magical weapons such as green glow mini-gun. Arenas include Batcave, Watchtower, and Fortress of Solitude. The effects of the fighting look stunning as the moves are so real beyond belief. i do feel for jumping that another unused button could have been used instead of being jerked by the left analog stick.
Story is Superman is deceived into killing Lois Lane and unborn son plus destroying Metropolis by the Joker. Superman becomes a tyrant in an alternate timeline as he pits some heroes against other heroes such as Raven and Cyborg vs. Batman and Green Lantern. The story seems so awesome because it makes you wonder why Superman or any other superhero would be an antagonist(s) despite that being in an alternate timeline. Don't you worry Superman fans, the real Superman isn't evil, he just has an evil clone. Joker obtained a nuclear weapon and will use it to kill millions of people in Metropolis and it's unknown if he actually used it for real since both Batman and Joker fight to the death in an alternate universe.
Graphics have an awesome framerate in the next generation systems(Wii U, PS4) and look great as well. The cutscenes however seem to look that of several years ago since though they do have great cinematics they look unpolished. These cutscenes look like they were made in 2008, and this game was released in April 2013. Why can't cutscenes LOOK almost like the graphics of the gameplay?
Injustice Gods Among Us has an Ultimate Edition available for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, and PlayStation Vita. This version includes all previously released Downloadable Content including 30 new skins, 6 new characters, and 60 new S.T.A.R. lab missions.
Final verdict for this great game is a 9.3/10. Points made include:
+: Thrilling Gameplay
+: Variety including not just content but gameplay moves
+: Excellent and sharp framerate plus HD graphics
+: Interesting Story
-: Lack of 2013 Cutscene Quality
