#TBTReview: Injustice Gods Among Us (Xbox 360)

This game was something of a fantasy come true when it came out. After a not so great dip into the world of DC Comics with MK vs DCU, a 3D plane style fighter, NetherRealm went back to their 2D roots and scrapped the crossover. The end result was a tight controlling fighter with an excellent cast of heroes and villains alike with a whole new slew of features. Capitalizing of the success of the reboot of Mortal Kombat, the took the already great framework and built further upon it. Adding in level interactions, super power beat downs in place of the newly famed "X Ray" moves, and making an overall authentic game made this one of the most successful fighters in recent years. Tied together by a coherent story that has bred a still running comic book, the game was a masterpiece of a fighter. Here is hoping a sequel gets announced sometime soon! 8.5/10
