Set after the fall of Superman\u2019s tyran\u00adni\u00adcal regime, Injus\u00adtice 2 places Bat\u00adman at the fore\u00adfront again to take on the task of rebuild\u00ading soci\u00adety and com\u00adbat\u00ading a new threat in the form of The Soci\u00adety.

The char\u00adac\u00adter select screen even looks bet\u00adter and more flu\u00adid. NetherRealm\u2019s fight\u00ading game visu\u00adals get bet\u00adter with each game, so this is just a tes\u00adta\u00adment to their grow\u00ading prowess.

I\u2019m also not a fan of the unlock sys\u00adtem. It\u2019s a lot of gear to unlock for a lot of char\u00adac\u00adters, but I don\u2019t real\u00adly have the time or the incli\u00adna\u00adtion to sit and work on it. I\u2019m not say\u00ading have it unlocked imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly when I first start the game, but I am say\u00ading it needs to be eas\u00adi\u00ader. The expe\u00adri\u00adence is not the most enjoyable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Injus\u00adtice 2 is a nice upgrade from the first game.
