Having a great time with this game.,
Anyway, after a few quick fights with my brother, I started on Story Mode. Honestly, I was a little taken aback at the average graphics on show in the cut scenes. Not awful, just fairly dated. As time went on I understood why. This game has about an hour of cut scene footage, so naturally it wasn’t all going to look amazing. The story isn’t anything we haven’t seen before, ending up a lot similar to those episodes of Justice League, albeit a lot darker.
As for the combat itself, I really like it. As I said, I’m not great at fighting games, but I found it to be accessible, though obviously it would take practice to be able to pull off more difficult moves.
The super moves are endlessly entertaining to watch, although they feel like they would have been better suited to be finishing moves, as seeing someone hop straight up after being punched through a freaking planet takes away from it a little.
The maps are awesome, with plenty of ways to hurt opponents with the environment. And you can freaking knock opponents into things like inmates’ cells in Arkham, or the Phantom Zone in the Fortress of Solitude. Now THAT’S fun! All that aside, they look pretty good as well,
In the end, I’d recommend it to both DC fans and fans of fighting games. I’ve just finished the story mode, it’s 1am and I have no intention of switching the game off yet. On to other modes we go!

|Really cool game for DC fans. Must try the story mode.,
Is it a fighting game? Yes it is, look at the developer they created Mortal Combat.
Will you see Mortal Combat as you play the game? Maybe, the thought crossed my mind a couple of times as I was playing it.
Do I like fighting games? No, I do not, I always avoid them because I can’t do a combo move to save my life.
Did I enjoy this game? Very much, the story is good, the super heroes are really good. I think the cut scenes make the game so much better.
Was the game too easy? It is not a question or being easy or not. The difference between this game and other fighting games that I have played in the past (have not played one in 15 or so years) is that this game wants you to experience the complete story and if you lose a match the game automatically adjust difficulty to let you win, again the game wants you to experience the story.
Do the matches seem fair? Well that is where I found it interesting… I mean when I played solo (as Green Arrow) Superman took me to the stratosphere and then one shoted me back to earth and Green Arrow survived it. It was cool, but I was like… wait a minute. Same thing happened when fighting Doomsday.
Do I care about graphics? No I do not.
Did it have good graphics? I thought so.
Having said that I finished the story mode and had a lot of fun doing it, without giving away too many spoilers you get to see some nice cut scenes with complete armies going at it, You have to try the story mode at least once. I played the solo option with green arrow (my favorite hero). It was a lot of fun.
Will I replay this game? Sure I will but I will most likely will either go online to lose a few matches or try to do it solo. In a few months I will try the story again. I hope they do DLC’s with more superheroes. I would love to see the Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, the Spectre, Catman or Dr. Midnite or even Darkseid! This game just lends itself to so much imagination. They could do DLC’s just for hero packs and I would buy them just to get more heroes and villains to make them fight together.
