Since its release early this week, I've been relentlessly playing "Injustice: Gods Among Us" - Warner Bros. Games and NetherRealm Studios' latest effort in bringing characters from DC Comics into the fighting game realm. Developed by the makers of Mortal Kombat and featuring popular heroes and villains from the DC Universe, I didn't expect much from the brawler save for nods to established comic book characters and a lot of fan service where your favorites duke it out with style and punishment. I'm happy to say that the game is certainly MORE than just that, and it's easily a candidate for "Game Of The Year" when the time comes to decide your picks come end of 2013.
Word to the wise for those jumping in to this review - The game contains a lot of references and nods to certain storylines longtime DC readers know and love well, so consider this your SPOILER ALERT before continuing on with my review of this fantastic game featuring the world's greatest superhumans. I'm also going to weigh down things based on personal preference and fandom alone, so the opinions here may not necessarily reflect what is being said by others and elsewhere.
And with that disclaimer aside, here are my thoughts on INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US.
