Injustice: Gods Among Us
Platform: PS3, Xbox 360
Developer: Warner Bros.
Rating out of five: ***
In an alternate DC dimension, where a grief-stricken Superman rules the world with a steel fist, it's down to Batman to restore order.
Ideal for anyone with even as much as a passing interest in comic-book heroes - or even the 2D beat-'em-up genre.
Injustice's fighting mechanics never quite feel as smooth and precise as those in Capcom's Street Fighter - and the developer's necessary attempts to balance the likes of the super-strong Wonder Woman with the merely human Joker means that fights don't truly escalate into the planet-busting encounters you might hope for.
Still, it's an enjoyable, if flawed, brawler. - The Independent
