Injustice 2 Legendary Edition - Xbox One

It's a brainless superhero fighting game...at least, I thought that was the extent of the game. I was way wrong. The story mode plot is intelligently-designed and multi-faceted, and it can go in more than one direction. The characters and highly-customizable (even alternate versions for characters, e.g., Power Girl, Black Lightning, Grid, etc., and the alternates have their very own Super Moves). The pre-fight interactions between the characters was also unexpected, and the interactivity WITH the arenas was a great touch (you can throw objects, jump off objects, and hit your opponent into a totally different part of the arena). I was leery about paying extra for the Legendary version, but it's definitely worth it, in my opinion. Nods to Mortal Kombat, Killer Croc and TMNT were very well done. If you have pre-teen kids, be aware of some teenage verbiage, especially in the story mode ("suck", "a--", "d---", "h---", and maybe even a "s---" or two). Great game, overall, and I'd definitely recommend it.

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.

The injustice 2 legendary edition is a great buy if your a casual gamer or like fighting games. From getting new skins to playing as new characters it can give you hours of enjoyment. The story gives a new take on what super heros can do and to what lengths they'll take. You get more with the Multiplayer experience as well. From side missions to online tournaments their is always something to do online. Overall it's a great game and would definitely recomend it to any player looking for a intriguing story or great fighting game.

This is a great game! It is like Nintendo's Super Smash Brothers. .but with your favorite DC Superhero. Each superhero has their own special finishing move. Some are better than others. . .but they all are pretty cool. The only drawback is that some of the finishing moves are excessively long videos that can interrupt the flow of the game if the finishing move does not lead to a kill (which they do not). That's the only reason I did not give it 5 stars.

Great Fights, the movements and graphics are really detailed. I never played the injustice 1, so for me was the very first impressions on the game. The scenarios and fighter are with great detail, the combos and tutorials are easy going so you can learn fast about the “details” of the game. The only thing I missed is the “fatalities” from other fight games such as Mortal Combat X. This game has less violence that is good for some audiences. Overall it’s a good pick

This game is just beautiful to look at and so much fun to play. Whether you're a DC fan or just love fighting games, this one is worth a try. I caught an amazing Black Friday deal and beat the game playing with my kids within a day. But I would've paid full price knowing how good this is. You won't be disappointed!
