Injustice: Gods Among Us Soars To Greatness

Knowledgable and all around awesome, Robert has mastered video game journalism for years, writing for a number of sites including AOL GameDaily, Planet Xbox 360 and GameZone.com.  Also known as the George Clooney of the Video Game Industry in some circles (mostly women).

The team behind Mortal Kombat shines with this stellar DC Comics-licensed brawler.

Likewise, the voicework is really something else.  Netherrealm spared no expense getting great voice actors for the game, including Kevin Conroy as Batman.  And sure, we would've liked to have heard Mark Hamill as Joker again, but Richard Epcar does well in the role.  The music is swell too, from a booming opening theme to great background tunes that are great to beat someone to a pulp too.  Love those sound effects too, especially in stereo.

Some minor modifications would've been welcome with the game's balance (it's hard to believe how powerful Solomon Grundy really is), and there were a few minor drop-outs when it came to online play, especially on the Wii U.  (That version also lacks the ability to connect with the mobile game to get extra suits, which is a bummer.)

But overall, Injustice: Gods Among Us is a heroic effort, one that vindicates the DC Comics license in terms of fighting games – though, again, I didn't think MK vs. DC was nearly as bad as some people let on.  The fighting system is bold and entertaining; the presentation is a real knockout; and the story – something that's usually ignored for the sake of "let's fight!" in a game like this – is a huge factor in its success.  If you're a comic book fan, or you just want to get your fight on with something new, this is the fighting game you truly deserve…even if you think you didn't need it right now.  It flies high and true.

Score: 9 / 10
