When the main theme song for a game is good that's when I get the feeling the game will be excellent as well...I still haven't given this game back because I've been playing as all 24 characters, which have their own unique set of moves, combos, special moves, and super moves. Injustice:Gods Among Us was made by the same people who made MK9, and just like MK9 the replay value comes from messing around with all the characters and the online experience.
The Story - I've sunk three hours into it so far and still haven't beaten it, mixture of cinematic sequences which are sometimes interactive and fights. You also have battles, S.T.A.R. labs (you have to do specific missions), single fight, and training (tutorial and practice)
Multiplayer - Once you press x on this option you have two more options - versus and online. Versus is where you can do some local fighting but a drawback is that two players is the maximum. That stinks, and you can't do any multiplayer team ladders like MK9 (Mortal Kombat 9). You can do it in single player however and choose battles where you fight heroes only, villains only, survive as long as possible, and many more. Other options include ranked match, player match, private match, join room, and create room. After choosing player match then more options open up, including: 1v1, koth, and survivor. I'm not sure what the difference is between the last two but how it works is you sit in a lobby with other people and watch as the king (someone who's been beating everyone else) and a rival fight. You can place bets on who you think will win and this gives you xp. There's also an "xp po_t", and the longer a king stays the more it goes up, and when a rival beats the king they get it. While you're waiting in line to fight the king you can watch the fight, chat, view stats, etc.
This is one of those games where the replay value lies in spending an enormous amount of time memorizing combos and beating up you're family and friends =D.
