Review - Injustice: Gods Among Us

Injustice: Gods Among Us allows us to re-enact the most famous battles in DC history. You have Batman vs Joker, Green Lantern vs Sinestro, and Superman vs Lex Luthor. And this is the primary reason that most people will play this game. Geeks everywhere will want to pit one of 24 (25 if you include the Lobo DLC) heroes and villains against each other. The fighting in the game is pretty easy to pick up. Attacks are split to split into light, medium and heavy with the 4th button performing a "unique" ability for each fighter. I say "unique" because while some are special others are very similar. Examples can be seen in how both Lex Luthor and Doomsday have shields Batman get bat-bots that he can use as a sheild or toss them. Each character has a reason for these abilities though so they do make sense in their execution. The game also has a power meter that grows when you land or receive blows. It has 4 sections and each section can be used to give special attacks extra power, perform counter attacks, or if you save all 4 you can perform a super attack that will take anywhere between 30% - 40% of your foes health. Combat will take some time to get used to, but overall it is a lot of fun.
