Injustice 2 Legendary Edition - Xbox One

My 14 year old son has been wanting this and recently bought this game. Normally I can't get into what he buys as they are just too complex (I don't have that kinda time) or they involve too many buttons and too much 3D movement (yes, i'm old). However he was describing this to me and my husband, and we turned to each other and said "it sounds like streetfighter." We headed to his room, and took over. So much fun! I'm not sure that the three kids like having to share with their parents as much as they thought they would, but it's nice that we all get to finally have a game we can all play together. For those who think this might imply the game has limited complexity, I don't think that's the case. I think that is just how those of us unversed in modern gaming play it. My son takes it to a whole other level when he plays and how he upgrades his characters, etc. I just like that I can keep it simple and just play and still have time to connect with my kids in this way.

I have over 200 games on my Xbox One X, quite a few on my PS4 Pro, and a couple hundred more between my Steam, GOG, Twitch, Origin, Uplay, Blizzard, Microsoft Store, and Oculus accounts. Out of all of those games, this is the one the kids want to play. I first got the standard edition but after seeing how much the chidrens loved it, I went and picked up the Legendary Edition so they could play with all the character. I think it's worth it. For the adults (I don't think these things really matter to kids in the single digits), 4K HDR is really cool in this game. This is a very colorful game with great textures and an awesome art style. It's a good one for showcasing your expensive TV. Also sounds really good on a nice, beefy sound system.

The DC universe continues to succeed at adapting their properties into the gaming world. With the sequel to Injustice, however - it feels like this take has overstayed it’s welcome. The plot was a struggle to stay with as it veered into the ridiculous and just expected us to go along with the plot. Sticking with Superman as a continually untrustworthy villain grows old with the argument of ‘the world is evil and only we can make it right... by any means necessary’. The AI mechanics are also frustrating as you have to get superiorly skilled at combos to even stand a chance. The AI also tends to defy the rules of its own game at times as it becomes increasingly frustrating to maintain a pleasurable gameplay.

Wow I thought the 1st injustice was good but this edition is by far the best fighting games of the year! Great story mode, interactive gameplay, more legendary heroes and villains! Teenage mutant ninja turtles are amazing!

I'm glad, I bought this Injustice 2 again. Basically bought the Legendary edition because of 4 characters, "The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." The best super heroes game ever on XBOX One.

Great cinematic story mode! Great progression rewards with different types of gear to customize each character with. Great fighting mechanics and just great overall game! I love it!

This is the perfect fighting game. lots of fighters, lots of customization, great gameplay, killer graphics, excellent story mode, limitless replays... I'm in love with this game.

Not only will the graphics blow you away, the combos, super moves, and fluidity will show that netherrealms are a force to be reckoned with in the fighting arena.
