First Impressions: Injustice: Gods Among Us


First off I want to say I am not an expert on the fighting game genre. In fact this is the first real brawler I've played in years so my impressions of this game will not come as much from how skillfully put together this game is. My opinions will be more based on how much fun the game has been to play.

With that said its now been a week since I first sat down with the game and good news is I still find myself wanting to go back and try something new every time I turn it on. There are a multitude of modes to choose from. There is basic training, the classic ladder system with many variations, a surprisingly enjoyable story mode even if its brief, and a ton of challenges to complete. All of that without even mentioning the obvious fact you can go online and test out your skills against friends and masters of the game. So to put it mildly there is lots to keep you occupied as long as you enjoy the gameplay.




Doesn't hurt to have a sexy Harley Quinn as part of the roster

Speaking of gameplay that for me is usually what stops the instant purchase of a game like this. I find its a case where I grow tired of simply playing one on one battles. So far though the variety of characters types, different ways to play a match, and overall uniqueness of this game have kept enough variety into the gameplay that I have yet to grow tired of the simple fact your usually in a one on one battle all the time. That and its always satisfying when you pull off one of the more ridiculous super moves that each character has. It also helps that the graphics are bright and colorful leading to things really popping in the middle of a fight.



This game certainly has put a smile on my face a few times so far


So all in all so far so good in terms of this new stab at the fighting genre that is centered around the DC universe which I'm a big fan of. Of course I still have questions on the lasting appeal I can have with this type of game but suffice to say I have no regrets with the purchase at the moment. Check back in  a few weeks for a more in depth review where I will delve much deeper into all the things this game has to offer. Until then enjoy your gaming exploits and if your a fan of the DC universe or of the fighting genre you certainly might want to give this game a try since my early impressions are it has a lot to offer fans of these games and characters.
