Great game, huge improvement over the first

ByTheyKeepOnRisingon June 21, 2017

PROS:

- Excellent singleplayer story! The game lets you choose between characters in around half of the encounters.
- Excellent character customization! Tons of loot with a large variance to visually customize your characters.
- Largely improved gameplay over the first Injustice. Game feels much more balanced than before.
- Great stock roster! Lots of interesting characters to choose from with a ton of new faces.
- Multiverse is tons of fun and adds lots of replayability.
- Animations and visuals are spectacular. Brainiac in particular just looks awesome.
- Voice acting is excellent and really brings the characters to life.

CONS:

- You need the "ultimate edition" or feel like you are missing out on characters. The upgrade cost 40$ on top of the base game 60$.
- The "ultimate edition" does not include Darkseid, and he cost an additional 5$.
- Two of the future DLC characters are Mortal Kombat crossover characters. Crossovers were cute at first but totally unwanted in this game.
- Characters have stats now, and gear increases these stats. The stats directly increase character health pool, damage, and defense. Stats influence the battle far more than they should, and ruins balance.
- Some character abilities are locked behind rare items, which are random finds from loot boxes. This can be extremely frustrating when you want to unlock your characters best abilities but keep getting trash for characters you don't use.
- AI cheats on harder difficulties. To get those precious loot boxes, you need to fight harder level AI encounters. Be prepared to get juggled or bombarded with ranged attacks with no hope of defense.
- New Joker is unnecessary and his style visually feels wrong.

OVERALL:

Great game, huge improvement over the first. Questionable business practices over the ultimate edition and Darkseid. Still would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys superheroes, fighting games, and especially DC.

RIPPED OFF- I paid for a US product and received an unsupported European version

ByDrkKnighton July 17, 2017

THis review has more to do with Amazon than the actual game. I have awaited monthes for this game. One because first game was great. Second because you get Darkseid as a downloadable character. But when I treid to use the code, it was not accepted. When I looked to the error, it stated that it was for the wrong region. Amazon sold me a Europian version of the game. When I looked at the insert, all the countries supported are European countries. The U.S. and it's flag was not among the list. NOTHING on the product discription said this was the European version. And when I reveiwed the Questions and Answer section under the game's page, it looks like I was not the only one who was taken on this one. This is very dissapppointing. I ahve been a Amazon Prime member for years and they are usually on top of everything but this is a huge mistake. This game is not support here because it is dissignated for ther European Region, says it in the game insert. This was never meant to be sold in the U.S. I feel totally ripped off. This is not a small thing. They were suppsoe to sell me a specific product meant for the United States martket and what they sold me was a product that was meant to be sold overseas.
