Capcom games are fun, but the fighting isn’t quite as realistic as in Injustice. There’s nothing wrong with Capcom, but a solely-Marvel game that is as in-depth as DC’s fighting would probably sell well-but it doesn’t appear Marvel is interested in that. Capcom: Infinite, release last year but it wasn’t close to as highly-regarded as Injustice 2. A lot of you have probably played the arcade game at some point in your life. Marvel does have a fighting video game series, as they’ve had a partnership with Capcom since 1996. A game that is based on fighting is more of DC’s style than it is Marvel’s. Meanwhile, DC has been dark, tough, and gritty. While things might have gotten intense with a couple recent movies with “War” in the title, including the destructive Avengers: Infinity War, the Disney-owned Marvel is light-hearted for movies that involve supervillains that want to destroy the world. Given Marvel’s popularity, they would probably sell a ton of copies of an Injustice-style video game. It would be a surprise if a third Injustice game wasn’t on the way at some point in the next few years, but Marvel doesn’t have a game that comes close to matching up with it. As good as Gods Among Us was, Injustice 2 somehow blows it away.

The customization is stunning, as there are many unique skins and gear that can be applied to each character. The first game was fun, especially the story mode, but things really picked up with Injustice 2.

It’s worth playing for any fans of the DC universe. Both games have spectacular story modes, as the story continues from one game to the other. Then, Injustice 2 was released last year (a year ago tomorrow, actually). Injustice: Gods Among Us was the first of the series, and it released in 2013. Batman uses his trademark utility belt and Batarang, while Superman can do flying attacks and use heat vision. There are many characters, and each hero or villain has their own unique set of moves that have to do with their comic-book and movie powers. If you aren’t familiar with Warner Bros.’ Injustice series, it’s one of the best fighting-game experiences available-think the DC’s heroes and villains being inserted into a supercharged but less violent Mortal Kombat game.
