The effect is stunning in motion and with the stellar voice acting it is going to be incredibly hard to beat in the future. Batman doesn’t suffer from stern mannequin syndrome and looks like a living, breathing human under the cowl. Characters like Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy come to life, especially the former as she blows gum and smiles in her token way. Characters don’t stick rigidly to their fighting stances and mouth movements and are fully motion captured to an incredibly incremental level.
Instead having the story played out on the fighting stages themselves, we see more of the world around the arenas. The detail of Injustice 2 is what makes it stand out and sets it far apart from the likes of Street Fighter and other fighting games that stick to the rigid formula of decades’ past. The result of these various conflicts is directly akin to the comic books and tells not only an interesting story of alliances and betrayal, but also one that is filled with genuine drama that is seen on the faces of the characters. It’s now up to Batman and his unlikely alliances such as Harley Quinn and previous Regime members-turned-good to stop Brainiac and regime loyalists such as Wonder Woman, Black Adam and Supergirl from tearing the planet apart. Unfortunately, this draws the attention of the main villain of the story, the space-faring know-it-all called Brainiac. Batman is attempting to rebuild the world and employs his wealth and circle of trust to build a supercomputer called Brother Eye that can scope out crime and assist before things get out of hand. The DC Heroes and villains, notably the Justice League has been split down due to Supe’s failed Regime that called for the destruction of all crime, which ended with the murders of both criminals and anyone who stood in Kal-El’s way. The story takes place a while after the events of the first, with a misguidedly vengeful Superman held behind the red sun tinged bars of his custom prison cell. With every game they have upped the ante in terms of storytelling and how characters interact and Injustice 2 feels like a culmination of the successes so far. Indeed, NetherRealm Studios has built up their core of storytelling over their past few games, doing away with the basic ‘combatant meets person and decides to fight’ deal that is so prevalent in other games of the genre. Injustice 2 takes the framework of the first and evolves it to the point where it is so concise and respectful to the source material that it has quickly become my favourite use of the DC universe property so far. The core feature that made the Injustice so good however was its involved story mode that spanned an impressive cast of hero’s and a somewhat believable angle that explained why villains and heroes teamed up or faced off against one another for supremacy. Leaving Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe and Just League Task Force well and truly in the dust with a diverse roster of combatants and easy to learn mechanics.
Although it wasn’t the first of the genre to feature DC superhero’s beating the snot out of each other, it was by far the most capable with the premise.
