The campaign does a good job of introducing you to all of them, and trying them all out in the other modes of the game, tinkering with all the different options, picking your favourites, and then mastering their techniques to perfection is more enjoyable than you can imagine. Each character legitimately feels and controls differently from all the others, so much so that often they have nothing in common with each other- not even the most basic attacks. What is also noteworthy is that Injustice 2 is one of those rare fighting games that not only has a pretty big roster of characters, but also justifies that size. Injustice 2 has a number of tutorials to teach you about all of the basic, fundamental cogs in its machinery, and while they barely scratch the surface in terms of what the game has on offer, they do an adequate job of introducing newcomers to its plethora of complex systems. What’s most notable about Injustice 2, though, is the fact that despite all the depth and layers to its gameplay, it never comes across as dense or intimidating. The number of options available to players in terms of combining all sorts of moves, special moves, dodges, environmental attack s and everything else that you have at your disposal is simply staggering. The addition of environmental attacks also lends a great deal of depth to the action. " Injustice 2 strikes a perfect balance between being a game that welcomes newcomers and being a game that can keep veteran fighting fans coming back." This means that the often plodding, deliberate pace of action in the previous title is replaced by faster, flashier moves with much less down-time in between. What helps the most is the fact that the action has been sped up significantly, meaning that simple actions like walking or jumping or dodging are much faster for all the characters than they were in the original. Thankfully, that is not the case here, and the game features some of the best action we have seen in a fighting game in the recent past. What’s more, this is aided a great deal by sharp, crisp visuals and excellent animations, all of which showcase a great attention to detail, right down to the facial animations and lip syncing.īeing a fighter, though, Injustice 2 would fall flat if it put all its eggs in the presentation basket. The cinematic quality of the narrative is unexpectedly top-notch, coupled with some smart writing and great voice over performances. What helps is that the campaign is told through some of the best, flashiest, most well-directed cutscenes you will ever see in a fighting game. On the other hand, Injustice 2 also features some excellent portrayals for a number of characters, such as Gorilla Grodd (who is a newcomer to the roster), Green Arrow, and of course, Batman. The Joker, for instance, rather than being the manic, charming, infectiously humourous character that we know him as, is portrayed as a gothic and drab villain. It should be noted that the portrayal of a select few characters may disappoint some veteran DC fans. "What helps is that the campaign is told through some of the best, flashiest, most well-directed cutscenes you will ever see in a fighting game." Want to see what it would be like to see Batman and Harley Quinn teaming up against Damien Wayne and Superman? You won’t be disappointed. There’s a lot of fan service in here, and the campaign constantly keeps conjuring up scenarios which consist of all sorts of team ups and face-offs. Injustice surprised a lot of people with just how engaging its story really was, and while Injustice 2 doesn’t reach quite the same levels, it still tells a story that, if you decide not to take it too seriously, will definitely provide you with a number of memorable, enjoyable moments. Just like its predecessor, Injustice 2 is quite an unusual fighter in that it places a great deal of emphasis on its story. As a result, what we have is an excellent fighting game that can be enjoyed by both, veterans of the genre as well as newcomers. With Injustice 2, NetherRealm Studios, who have been growing in stature as notable developers of fighters, have finally put out a game that is full of content and high on quality. It has some of the best, most crisp visuals and animations you will ever see in a fighting game, with flashy, superbly directed cutscenes. It has a bombastic, enjoyable campaign that is full of fan service. It is chock-full of content, both for competitive players and for those who simply want to enjoy its single player modes. Injustice 2 is a game that goes all-out in everything that it does.
