Injustice: Gods Among Us<\/a>‘ is one of the more duplicitous games in recent memory. The endeavor represents one of the better takes on the DC Universe, but by incorporating so many storied characters, ‘Injustice’ risks alienating fans. NetherRealm Studios has sought to bring the latest refinement of the ‘Mortal Kombat’ fighting play-style to comic book characters, but again, fighting games are by nature polarizing titles even for fans of the genre.<\/p>\nThe game’s plot sees Superman and Batman at odds over a world where the Joker managed to destroy Metropolis and cause the death of a pregnant Lois Lane, thus pushing Superman over the edge. In addition to the roster of 24 playable characters full of DC heroes and villains, each with character-accented combos, specials and a new character trait, the game’s interactive multi-tiered stages are themed from famous DC universe locations. Parts of the interactive stages include cameos from other DC characters, with opponent damaging results. As with the past decade of ‘Mortal Kombat’ titles, this game is supplemented with various sub-stages to help fill out the single player gameplay.<\/p>\n
Anyone with an interest in DC characters should consider getting into ‘Injustice: Gods Among Us’. Those interested in playing can check out both the 360 and PS3 demos, and the fremium iOS version.<\/p>\n
