« Injustice: Gods Among Us Preview from Gamespot Talks Meters, Single-Round Fights & More »

Maxwell McGee over at GameSpot put together a new preview for Injustice: Gods Among Us and gives us a quick rundown of the different gameplay mechanics. In short, he says the game feels a lot like Mortal Kombat in execution when you first pick it up, but after a bit of time with the game you will find some fairly major changes to set the two apart. 

Hit the jump for a quick excerpt and read the rest here. 

Fights in Injustice are single-round duels, similar to Marvel vs. Capcom 3. You might think this would produce very quick matches, but every character has two health bars to extend the fight. At the end of the duel, there are some very stylish ending scenes, including Superman flying into orbit and staring down at Earth, or Batman perched on a gargoyle looking over Gotham. It’s a nice touch, and this attention to detail extends throughout the game, and helps celebrate its comic book roots.
