About This Game

The fighting game that established NetherRealm's DC line, bundled here with its extra characters, skins and S.T.A.R. Labs missions. Its lasting contribution is the story mode: a fully voiced, chapter-based campaign that hands the player a different fighter each chapter, a structure most of the genre still borrows.

Age shows in the fighting itself. The premise of a Superman regime gone authoritarian holds up, and the stage transitions and environmental attacks remain among the most theatrical in the genre, but players returning to it describe the combat as stiffer than its sequel and the online population as thin. Rated Teen, it is best approached as a single-player comic story with a fighting game attached rather than a competitive mainstay.
