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.
