Injustice 2 Standard Edition - Xbox One

It’s a really fun game with all the super hero’s in it, me and my girlfriend go at it when we’re mad at each other.

I love the game. I played it on Xbox one first with a good friend and then I got it for ps4 pro.

This was a great game. Play mostly on PC now. But great buy for either console.

This is an immensely satisfying game chiefly for its standout bad guy: Superman! While the planet-killing alien Brainiac is ostensibly this DC Universe fighting game’s main antagonist, developer NetherRealm Studios presents Superman as such an unlikeable character in Injustice 2’s outstanding story mode, that beating up the Man of Steel (and his allies) is incredibly gratifying. There’s such an impressive amount of content: characters, modes, daily activities in Injustice 2 that it may seem strange to focus on how much fun it is to hate Superman. But I really dislike Superman in this game. And Injustice 2’s single-player campaign is such a noticeable leap forward in terms of quality (especially since fighting game story modes are kind of NetherRealm’s specialty), that seeing the story through to its end is easily the game’s biggest draw.

Initially my plan was to wait for the Ultimate Edition to come down in cost, but after seeing a sale on the game for $39.99 I decided to swoop it up and man I'm glad I did! If you're a big MKX fan and have a knack for the controls and overall fighting engine of that game then you will definitely love this game. It feels like MKXL in the sense of the controls for each character, however this game definitely separates itself from the latter. The new Multiverse like the Living Towers from MKX keeps you playing for hours. It surpasses MKX in the sense that this is a much more immersive game on single player Multiverse. Leveling up characters, getting new gear, getting shaders....etc. Keeps me playing for hours on in nightly. It should be said that it is worth getting the Ultimate Pack, the extra characters and shaders are a good buy and it gives you access to the next fighter pack as the new characters are released. So it's like a Season Pass in a sense or a gift that keeps on giving....you decide. Overall a great purchase and I highly recommend getting this game!!

I go from game to game quite often so it takes me awhile to finish them. Fighter games like this I spend even less time on since I don't have friends that enjoy these types of games, nor do I fancy playing online against strangers. So I haven't had a fighter game in awhile until this. That said, this game is amazing on its reply value. The different mini scenario/side stories with varying skill levels makes it so much fun. Stack on top of that customizing your character through equipment and skins, some skins even changing the voice and personality completely. For example the teenage innocent super girl can be change to the more mature and confident powergirl with different voice, lines and interactions through a new skin option for super girl. Give powergirl is supergirl from alternate universe, but raiden for example can change into someone else entirely. This doesn't particularly alter abilities, but its quite a good twist on things. I never played the first and to be honest I don't feel a need to. I still return to this game every now and thing to get new equipment and play up on new characters. Really do recommend for comic fans.

I love that we can finally play fighting games that have a fairly well written and deep storyline to go along with all the fighting in the game, to give it some context. Much like how Mortal Kombat XL was an evolution of Mortal Kombat, Injustice 2 was a pretty standard evolution of Injustice 1. The move set is a bit unnatural compared to something like Street Fighter or Tekken (buttons that you'd think would be a punch or a kick likely aren't, and the notion of a "strong" or "weak" hit isn't very intuitive) but the alternative setup allows for more elaborate moves (that would usually be exclusive to only the most skilled players) to be used by anyone. The ability to add and level equipment also adds another layer to the gaming experience that kind of takes it to another level. Definitely one of my favorite modern fighting games.

Injustice 2 is not only the best fighting game so far of the generation but is also the current standard for how to do a proper single player campaign on the fighting game genre. The single player campaign is the best DC "movie" so far with incredible acting, voice over and a great story! Also, the Multiverse mode is an endless campaign full of replay ability that allows you to keep getting experience, items and weapons to customize your hero and make it your own. These items has stats to make your hero stronger (like a role playing game) but are only cosmetic in the multiplayer modes to make it fair and square. Even if you aren't in love with the DC super heroes universe like me (can't stand Superman >.<), there's so much quality content and polish all around that you'll be playing with a smile on your face the whole time. GREAT GAME!
