injustice 2 game review

Alright, so you young folks asked me to talk about this… “in-justice too” game, right? Like that fancy fighting thing on the TV? Okay, okay, I’ll tell ya what I think, but don’t expect no fancy words, ya hear?

This here “Injustice 2” thing, it’s like… a step up from that other “Gods Among Us” game. You know, the one with all them superhero fellas beatin’ each other up? This one’s faster, like a greased piglet at the county fair. And smoother too, like butter on a hot biscuit. Them fellas move real nice, not all jerky like them old puppets my grandpappy used to have. And the story? Well, it’s better too. Makes more sense than a rooster crowin’ at midnight, that’s for sure.

Now, I heard tell this “Gods Among Us” game was a big hit back in 2013. Sold like hotcakes at the church bake sale, they said. And this “Injustice 2”? Same deal! Folks went crazy for it in 2017, spendin’ their hard-earned cash like it was growin’ on trees. Must be somethin’ special, I reckon.

• It’s faster: Like I said, them fellas move quick!
• It’s smoother: No more jerky moves, thank the Lord.
• Better story: Even an old woman like me can follow along.

But here’s the thing that got me, see? Most of these fightin’ games, they just got a story slapped on like a patch on a worn-out quilt. Just there for show, ya know? But this “Injustice 2,” well, it’s different. The story’s actually good! Like, real good! Keeps you guessin’ like a whodunit novel. I even found myself rootin’ for them fellas in tights, and that’s sayin’ somethin’!

Now, I ain’t got all day to sit here and play this game, mind you. I got chores to do! But I heard tell it takes about five and a half hours to finish the main story. That’s a good chunk of time, enough to get through a whole afternoon of knittin’ or maybe even bakin’ a pie. But if you’re one of them young’uns who likes to see everything, do everything, well, you’ll be busy for a while, that’s for sure. Like tryin’ to find a needle in a haystack, that game is!

So, what’s the bottom line? Well, if you like them fightin’ games, and you like them superhero fellas, then this “Injustice 2” is probably worth a look-see. It ain’t perfect, mind you. Nothin’ is in this world. But it’s a darn sight better than most of that other digital hooey they put on the TV these days. And hey, if an old woman like me can appreciate it, then it must be doin’ somethin’ right.

I even saw them fancy boxes with the game at the store the other day. Said somethin’ about “deals” and “free delivery.” Sounded like a good price, but I ain’t got no time for such things. Got to go feed the chickens, you see. But if you’re lookin’ for a good way to pass the time, and you like a good ol’ superhero scrap, well, then go on and give this “Injustice 2” a try. Just don’t blame me if you get hooked!

It’s engaging, they say. And I guess that’s right. It kept me watching longer than I planned, that’s for sure. So go on, give it a whirl. And if you see me at the store, maybe you can tell me all about it. But make it quick, now. I got things to do!
