Ehm, why should review be made by a fighting game fan? Unless the site is called Shoryuken.com or something. IMO there needs to be reviews by fans, indifferents and haters. That's the only way to get any idea of how the game is. Fans always emphasize stuff most people don't care about and if hater is impressed then something must be right.

yeah, you know the best soccer game ever made? i think it was FIFA 10 or something? yeah it got like a 9.9 from everywhere. i'd have given it a -1, for taking my time to even open the case, because soccer is retarded and i hate soccer. so i should review the game. that makes sense.
 
my Injustice game review

im not sure if there is a different thread somewhere or i should write this some where else so im sorry if im doing this in the wrong location

Injustice gods among us PS3 review:
Story mode: completed in 3 hours including cutscenes
good story short story
besides story mode there are other single player options
Battle mode: arcade mode where u fight up the ladder but there are alot of battle mode normal mode, max difficulty mode, poison mode where ur health keeps draining and many many others
Star Lab Missions: they give you missions kind of like the 300 mission in mortal kombat 9
there are 241 missions and 20 extra missions with red son downloadable contents the missions are made into an angry bird style where you have to get 3 stars depending on how you play u need to achieve some goals which is cool, and you need an amount of stars to unlock the next mission
online mode is also similar to mortal kombat creat room, join match, play unranked or ranked matchs, king of the hill, survival
also there are daily online challenges like beat flash using flash 10 times in one day
graphics: are ok not bad
gameplay: its a new style of gameplay its not similar to one game its a mixture of mortal kombat and street fighter vs tekken with some more additions like using the environment for your own advantage throwing a car bouncing your opponent off a wall
stage transition where you kick or punch your opponent through the wall and falls into another stage: how it is done=
your opponent needs to be near a wall you press back X OR and easier way to catch someone but harder to do during a combo press back back+ R2 you have to time it right
there is also the super move which is similar to the x ray of mortal kombat just pressing the R2 and L2 together
there is also a combo breaker again similar to MK9 but with different features, you can only use it once per match by pressing Forward R2 during a combo where you are getting hit to intercept.
but you can only use it when you are on your second health bar and on another note you need to be careful as this move is called the clash when u do it you have to make sure you have enough meter bars because you have to wager those bars
1- if both of you put same amount of bars its a draw and none gets injured
2-if you started the clash and you put more bars than your opponent you will receive extra health depending how much more bar you wagered
3- if your opponent puts more bars than you you will get damaged

so watch your bar before you do the clash

overall rating: 8.7/10



feel free to comment or write your own review in the comments if you have played the full game

Sounds good. As a soccer hater I don't need to touch it either then... But what did people just say about being informed and actually playing the game? Metacritic is full of reviews made by people who obviously never touched the game, they're just trolling or being funny. I'm not saying everyone should state their opinion even if they don't have one. And as for professional reviews, someone's missed all the hype about reviewers and devs having really close relationships, paid reviews etc.

But this has nothing to do with reviews regarding Injustice so I'm gonna back down.

well they wanted to make this seem like a movie. too bad most movies these days last 2,5 hours. 1,5 is so 1900s

I still don't understand how you are claiming you finished the story mode in 1 hour 43 minutes. There is a compilation video on YouTube with all the cutscenes (excluding the actual gameplay fights) in it which runs for 1 hour 47 minutes 27 seconds exact, in which about 10 minutes of extra cutscene footage got edited out. The cutscenes alone run close to 2 hours.
 
Re: my Injustice game review

It's possible the game clock only counts the time spent on fights? Because most people are only interested on how long it took them to finish all the fights and not having to calculate how much went to cutscenes and how much to fights.

Which would mean the game is still under 4 hours.

There is a right answer for chronic headache, more or less. Reviews however are reviews. More like do I trust a person who loves and knows everything about fighting games or a person who has very casual approach. I rather hear them both out.



If he played a couple of matches against AI or something and won them by mashing buttons, then he was right in a way. Many don't dwell any deeper in a game and almost all games have depth if you look hard enough. But as the review is released this early there's no way he has spent any time on the game and I agree it's very uninformative and shallow. To be fair though he did mention that online this game has the same competitive edge than any other fighting game.

Disagreed, a review has more credibility if the author can support the his/her opinion with facts and logic. It shows the author has done some thinking about subject. Considering reviews are subject to scrutiny by the readers, the writers might as well try to be as informed as possible about the subject and not settle for less.

Assessing a fighting game by playing just the AI and low-level play is a bad idea to begin with. First of all, fighting games are primarily designed around multiplayer. Good human players prevail over the AI due to their ability to adapt. Just because a player doesn't want to make use of every bit of tech the game has to offer doesn't mean it's not there. Although it be well after the release date when the fighting game community will discover new tricks and develop the metagame, it's not unreasonable to expect the reviewer to break down the basics of the game.

Why should a person who doesn't like fighting games review fighting games?

I think you need to understand that liking something and understanding it go hand in hand. Generally, if you like something, you are going to want to know more about it, which leads to understanding it more. And having a good understanding of the subject is crucial in giving an informed opinion about it, as is the case with fighting game reviews.

When you dislike something, you are a lot less likely to try to understand it on a deeper level because of the simple fact that you don't like it; there's no incentive to go any further with it. Not only that, people who don't enjoy fighting games aren't going to have an idea of what FG fans look for in their games, which is also important in a review for any type of game, whether it be fighting games, RPGs, beat em ups, etc.

Fans of a genre generally have the most experience and understanding of the genre they're into, which is why it's best for fans of that genre to review a game of that genre. After all, as previously brought up before, games are made for fans, not haters or people indifferent to them.

You might say that indifferent people are the best to review games because they are the most likely to give an honest, unbiased review, but that isn't necessarily true, either. People indifferent to the genre aren't going to have a good understanding of it either, and aren't going to know what fans may look for in that game, so they are just as unreliable as people who dislike that genre of games.

While I agree that bias for fighting games can cloud a person's judgment, a good reviewer, ideally, wouldn't be affected by this. They should be able to seperate their personal feelings from their reviews, and be able to analyze it objectively.

The game is made for fighting game fans, not anyone else, so it should be reviewed by fighting game fans, right?

^^Yeah, it's probably not adding in the time on cut scene's.. it's probably just the time you were actually playing... I'm jealous..

By the looks of it, the 1 hour 43 minutes is either the total cutscene time or the time you took to finish the fights alone, not both combined. So please word your sentences properly and so that it doesn't seem like you are giving out the wrong info. You might want to put that picture in spoiler tags too.

hmmm not so sure
each fight lasts around a minute or less
by this calculation it means i had 104 fights in the story mode
no in way lol
most likely it is including the cut scenes

Re: my Injustice game review

^it should be the cutscenes alone then, cause by that picture it looks like chapters are selectable, the last chapter named "Epilogue"? There is also a buffering/stream bar meaning you can view scenes of some sort, like a movie perhaps. The YouTube I saw had the full credits too and that's how I guess it went around 1 hour 47 to 2 hour time frame.

im sorry but i have to disagree with you here, if the cutscenes are 1 hour and 43 minutes then there will be no point in typing the time which means everyone that plays the game will end up with the same number at the end, not to forget there are mini games during some of the cutscenes

fyi im in the chapter select menu

though i could be wrong cuz im not entirely sure cuz i paused the game and ate lunch in between
 
I don't mind a hate review if the person is at te very least understanding of Deep level play in the genre. Which was not the case in the OP review.

Sorry, don't really agree with that. While the main audience are fighting fans, they obviously want others to get the game too. Hardcore fans and more casual players are often looking for different things. Here it seems to be rather common consensus that Tag Mode of MK is broken and not needed, for me it's pretty much the only reason to still play the game.

Yeah, sadly.
I even made a thread to encourage more MK9 Tag Team play but nobody goes to the thread, and so it's lasting power died down. :(

I love Tag Team mode, but playing against the CPU only goes so far, as no one else here wants to play Tag Team matches.
