Some good mix between Mortal Kombat games and DC Comics story here.
My overall impression is that this game is pretty good, much better than most NetherRealm games Ive played, maybe because of the appeal that the comics superheroes have in old schoolers like me.
The fighting mechanics are basic Mortal Kombat-esque, which means you have to imput back, back + punch to perform a fireball and so on. A few Street Fighter stuff was add, for example: you press back to block (there is no block button) and you can set the special attacks to hadouken like motions, a-la Street Fighter. There also some new mechanics, like the stage interactions (really overpowered), armour moves, fireball combos e many others.
Lets go to some pros and cons:
Pros:
- Very Good and Catchy Story Mode, with a very good comic book plot. The ending is kinda predictable, but its good nevertheless.
- Very good cast, with and interesting selection os DC comics classic heroes and villains, like Batman, Superman, Joker, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Harley Quinn, Lobo, Zod, etc...
- Some good and easy to perform combos, that work well if you are a gamepad user, like me. Seems like the developers actually though about us, gamepad guys!
- Some chars have some really interesting alternate outfits, like the Red Son (communist superman), Batman Beyond, General Zod, from the Man of Steel movie, etc..

Cons:
- Seems like no one actually plays this game online, the community is small and its hard to find people to play againts online, which is a mojor problem for a fighting game.
- The cast is good and large, but some chars are just too strong (Superman) and others are very weak (Bane). Its really umbalanced.
- The zoning/fireball game of some character is too strong and broken and some battles are basically who spams fireballs faster. It makes chars without fireballs completelly unplayable.
- Character with superstrength (Superman, Wonder Woman) can interact with the environment to throw cars and objects on others to deal big damage, while non super chars (Batman, Flash) cant do it at all. The stage interactions are really unbalanced and broken towards super strength chars.

In a general way, its a good game. I Rate it 3.8/ 5.0.
