I played the XBOX 360 version of Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition for the first time last year, and I really enjoyed the story mode, however 5 hours later when that was over I had little interest in playing random matches against the computer or getting bodied online. The story did stick with me enough that I looked forward to playing it a second time, this time on Steam, and it was just as fun for another playthrough.
GAMEPLAY:
-Injustice has that modern day Mortal Kombat feel to it, which isn’t bad, even if it’s a bit stiffer and slower than I’d like. The stages have a lot of interactive objects to use against your opponent, which honestly gets old after the first time interacting with them, luckily you can turn that feature off, at least in the single player mode.
STORY (contains spoilers):
-Basically Superman turns heel and starts punching holes through chests and shooting lasers through skulls, all while alternate timeline superheroes and villains do battle in the background.
ART STYLE:
-Since this is a video game based off of comic book characters, I feel like how the characters look is somewhat important. Wonder Woman is built like a BRICK SH*THOUSE which is GREAT, but she has a jawline like Sgt. Slaughter, perhaps a Gal Gadot face and foot mod should be looked into. Lex Luthor straight up looks like Bruce Willis which is pretty cool. No big complaints about how the characters look overall.
SHOULD YOU GET THIS GAME?:
-If this game is on sale, if you are into fighting games, and if you are into cape stuff, then I’d say YES. The story is interesting, and the gameplay is solid enough. Plus it’s the Justice League, the Justice league is cool, I mean let’s be honest here…….
X-Men >>>>>> Justice League >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The Avengers
