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.

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!

Game is fun. Characters are well developed and true to form. Graphics are mostly spot on as well. Only issue is to unlock the Legendary gear is a very long and tedious process. Probably only people that dont own any other games will bother taking the extra long time to accomplish all the requirements.

Since I suck at fighting games, I bought this primarily for the story and to mess around with the characters. The TMNT are great, as well as all the DC characters. The story mode is worth the price along, with the amount of cutscenes coming out to a long full length DC movie. Definitely recommend!

If you play fighting games, you have the concept of this game. This game uses the DC Universe to fight. I liked the first one and thought I would try the second one. I like that you can play a saga (story) mode and that there are more characters to choose from.
