This version of Supes decides that he’s done with turning the other invulnerable cheek. The Joker’s seemingly never-ending nastiness pushes everyone’s favorite superguy to the snapping point this time. The story mode revolves around an alternate reality where Superman is tricked by the ultra-evil madman Joker into doing horrible things-including killing his beloved Lois Lane and nuking his adopted home city of Metropolis. There’s an extensive comic book tale to play through as well. But this is more than just a pick-an-arena-and-ring-the-bell arcade fighter. The gameplay centers around the proper timing of unique character flips, jumps and special souped-up attacks in locales ranging from the streets of Metropolis to the halls of Atlantis to Batman’s secreted-away batcave stronghold. (Especially so for those already exposed to the latest reboot of the Mortal Kombat franchise.)
And its moves will feel and look pretty familiar to anyone who’s played a one-on-one fighting game in the past. The game is designed as a 3-D-character-on-a-2-D-battlefield fighter. And ’til now, those kinds of what ifs were relegated to basement get-togethers and the occasional cover of a DC comic (where they were rarely played out to a satisfying resolution on the pages within).īut now, with Injustice: Gods Among Us, the answers and gripping drama (read: battles) leading up to them are finally within reach.
INJUSTICE GODS AMONG US FREE
So they’re not right up there with how God can give us free will and simultaneously predestine our future, but they can still feel pretty important at 3 a.m. Comic book fanboys have long been arguing many of the deepest, most important questions of life.įor instance, if Superman and, say, Green Lantern went toe-to-toe, who would end up flying away with a satisfied smirk on his mug? Riddle me that! Or what would happen if Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl decided to muss each other’s hair and start mixing it up with a few Amazonian knuckle sandwiches and Thanagarian mace blows? Or, hey, what if the Clown Prince of Crime splashed some soda water in Captain Marvel’s face?
