    After a wait that felt like an eternity due to a buildup of hype week after week, Injustice: Gods Among Us is finally yours to own. While I adore it and gave it a positive review, I was curious to see how the community feels about NetherRealm Studio's take on the DC universe (apologies, I know those outside of North America have had less time with it). The poll gave five options, ranging from "love it" to "a huge disappointment" and plenty of Viners voted. The results are in and it looks like I see eye to eye with a lot of you out there. "Absolutely love it" is the clear winner, taking 55% of the votes. You chose wisely, friends.

    Spamming heat vision = totally legit tactic.
    Spamming heat vision = totally legit tactic.

    It's understandable why so many gamers are loving it, too. The opportunity to jump into the DC universe(s) and control iconic characters is a real treat. Multiplayer alone can generate hours upon hours of competitive fun. Few things in this world beat the feeling of uppercutting your buddy into orbit. Additionally, NetherRealm Studio packed it with plenty of single player content, delivering a solid (yet slightly short) story, tons of unlockables and an overwhelming about of S.T.A.R. Lab missions.

    Here's the poll results.

    • Absolutely love it: 55%
    • It's pretty good: 31%
    • Eh, it's okay: 6%
    • I'm disappointed, but it's still somewhat enjoyable: 2%
    • What is this garbage? This game is a huge disappointment: 6%

    What did you vote for and why? Also, has your opinion changed since then? Don't forget to check the homepage Tuesday for the next Comic Book Question of the Week. As always, you're welcome to make suggestions for the next question!

    I downloaded the demo this afternoon and loved it, which is surprising since i don't really like fighting games.

    It's a pretty cool game, but they really need more Meter Attacks. Those can be cool, but they get repetitive fast. Also, Wonder Woman's is kind of lackluster when you compare them to the other heroes.

    I didn't get it, but the story and gameplay look awesome from what I've seen! I'm gonna wait a couple months/or a year before buying this. Outside of NBA 2k games which I only get every other year, I don't like buying games for $60. It's just too much for me. I remember the somewhat old days when games were like $30-$40. I also only really like less than half the characters on the roster. Ares, Killer Frost, and Lobo kinda seem like lame characters to have in this game. But, I can appreciate that it's made for hardcore fans of DC.

    Now if you'll excuse. me, I'm going to go play my recently acquired Arkham City.

    The game definitely has its pros and cons. I recommend it for the sake of playing as DC characters. Hoping for Captain Atom as a DLC!

    I really kick butt with Aquaman and Green Arrow! Still... I think I will trade it in tomorrow. Its great, but I am not a big fighting game fan. I only bought it because of the DC characters and the story, which was about 4 hours long. If I were a fightgame fan, I would love it!

    Tried the demo but it just felt like Mortal Kombat, I don't mean that in a bad way but it's just I've got MK and barely played it. Fighting games aren't for me, too much button bashing, cramped wrists and memorising combos.

    DC could do with more individual character games but the difficulty they have are the powersets. The most popular DC characters are flyers and flying characters are really difficult to build a compelling game around. This is why games like Arkham Asylum, Spider-man 2 work as good games, they characters can soar through a city but they have limits and every game environment needs limits.

    A green lantern game set in space could be interesting, the Sinestro corps war? You could select from Hal, John, Kyle & Guy. Each character would have their own power moves and the developers could clean up with DLC to download alternative character skins, given the size of the GL army they'd be onto a winner. Thing is I'd want god of war style gameplay

    enjoying the game. I rarely buy $60 games but it was well worth it. Bought the Walmart version which gave me a free MK vs DC game with it. Still have to go through the Star Lab tasks but all and all solid game.

    It's entertaining, slightly addictive and not quite as aggravating as some fighting games can be (yet... since us Europeans on just had the release!). But the steering is stiff and unforgiving, the cut-scenes could have been prettier and I am not sure if they actually pulled the evil Superman off convincingly and shouldnt just have gone with Uberman and the rest of that bunch. Contains a nice twist on 'Nightwing'.

    Personal fanboy note: disappointed Raven doesn't have segment of her own in the campaign :(

    The story is great and they give a reason why non-super powered characters like Batman, Green Arrow, Catwoman, etc can fight the super powered characters. I suck at fighting games (including this game) but I am enjoying it. I hope Marvel has a fighting game likes this or better yet an DC vs Marvel fighting game!!

    I was impressed with this game considering the last time we had an DC fighting game it came off as really clunky. Only complaint is that some of the character endings come off lame.

    I'm not really into fighting games like Mortal Kombat, but I really did enjoy Injustice Gods though I wish the story mode was a bit longer, but the ending is hinting with a sequel so I'm guessing it's not over yet.

    My only complaint (with a bit of fangirl in it): Raven should have more onscreen moments, along with Nightwing and Hawkgirl.

    The game felt kind of incomplete. The lack of true unlockable content(non-DLC) is one huge disapointment, and the combat style was not enough to make up for it. It's somewhat enjoyable, but lacks a lot of content that might have made the game more interesting.

    @pyro_jack: They have the normal unlocks, some alt costumes, art, videos, xp bonus. The problem is and will continue to be the first company that created micr transactions and succeeded. Now every game has DLC or micro trans that you have the option to buy, most are cosmetic while others like Assassins Creed 3 are actual content. I would personally prefer games to be say $30-40 again but it clearly states you will pay x amount later to get all the DLC, or season passes. Also the season pass for Injustice is cheap, 1200 points or apx $12. If I recall the pass for Forza Horizon was twice that.

    Either way loved the story mode, tried a few of the STAR challenges which were fun. Not really great at fighting games but beat it on normal/medium difficulty so thats a plus. Currently my only disappoint is the 360 bug preventing the Best Buy Zombie addon from loading.

    It's a great game. One of the most refreshing fighting games for this console generation too. I wish the story mode was a little longer and online was more stable, but other than that I can't stop playing it.

    1) Between the events of the THRONE of ATLANTIS, and playing him in the game I dare someone to say AQUAMAN is lame

    2) We had one of the coolest twist appearances ever in the story version, did not see it coming but it made perfect sense.

    3) There is just sooo much to do, S.T.A.R labs and the BATTLES will keep you occupied for quite sometime

    4) I am a sucker for the Skins, more please

    I started the story mode earlier today. I think it's pretty great so far but there are certain story beats that are handled much better in the prequel comic. The writing is just a lot sharper in the book. The multiple universe angle works a lot better for the conceit of a fighting game story but the development of the actual Injutice universe is far more interesting to me. Looking forward to finishing it after work today. I didn't get to vote in time for the results but so far I'm leaning towards a 4 star like the GB and CV reviews.

    I was really pleasantly surprised. I was ready for Superman to be dragged through the mud for Batman (as often happens) but it would seem Neatherrealms figured out to have their cake and eat it too. Pretty good story mode and of course the mechanics are solid.

    It was awesome!!!

    Also playing the story mode, I came across one section that made me see just how much DC really keeps shooting itself in the foot when it comes to other media. How do I mean? Well the part where.....

    Cyborg is talking to parallel Deathstroke and mentions him fighting the Teen Titans and the fact that Cyborg himself used to be a Titan.

    Wouldn't that be pretty confusing for new readers?

    im liking the game so far, the graphics are pretty slick, some of the special moves are awesome. im super comfortable with characters i never would have expected. i went in wanting to play as the Flash but after a few matches im loving Cyborg and Black Adam. BA is pretty bad*ss, hes not flashy, he doesnt pose a lot, he doesnt make with the chit-chat, he just beats people up. Aquaman is pretty fun to play as, and throwing Hawkgirl's mace at people was great. only thing i wish is that there were more skins! aside from bonus dlc and whats already in the game, there isnt enough alternate costumes to wear. Give me Aquaman with the long hair, beard and hook! give me Adam West's Batman costume! give me Nightwing as Robin! a Roy Harper skin for Green Arrow! i'd pick up dlc if its got lots of skins.

    the S.T.A.R. labs stuff is pretty good too, some of them are pretty clever, and its a nice touch having Red Sun Superman missions

    I was so pleased with this game. One thing I liked about this is that instead of it being good Batman versus evil Superman like I expected, it was good Superman versus evil Superman. Aquaman was portrayed as a total badass. I also liked Hal and Ollie. Evil Superman was... brutal. Damn... Poor Billy... I'm glad they explained why characters like Joker could go toe-to-toe with characters like Superman. "I'm not dead! Oh, thank you, happy pill!" I just wish they'd had more variety for the super moves. And a longer story would have been great. Not that it wasn't good. I really loved it. And I'm glad Batman was just one character in a bigger story encompassing multiple characters, instead of them shining the spotlight on him. Not that I don't like Batman. But it's not a game about just Batman.

    I like to counter range-spam with hyperactive jump-spam. Not only does a good diagonal jump time out pretty well with everyone except Batman, it looks kinda hilarious when you leap around your opponent's head repeatedly.

    I loved MK9 and really like DC, but I think I'm gonna wait until it's cheaper. The STAR Labs stuff looks pretty awesome, but it's not a game I absolutely need right now when it's still $60.
