I tried playing the Inuustice: Gods Among us demo for the 360. In local multiplayer, you were given the choice of Batman, Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor as your character, and got Gotham as your map with two variants. This is DC’s second venture into fighting games after their last Mortal Kombat crossover that destroyed the multi-million selling Mortal Kombat franchise and left DC unscathed.
Like all fighting games you don’t have the instruction manual for and list of combos, all anyone playing can do is madly hit buttons and hope for the best. I quickly figured out the RB button triggered environmental attacks. My son was quite effectively killing me by jumping and hitting a single button every time I came near. By dicking around with movement joystick I was able to launch a few attacks like Batman’s grappling line. Every so often a weird gambling system would go off where each player had to bet their attack points in a standoff. Attack points could then be used for super moves. At the end of my bout, I pulled off Batman’s finisher.
I’ve never had a laughing fit from someone’s finisher before, and I’ve used Liu Kang’s Friendship finishing move where he dances to the disco ball. Batman first tasers you in the neck, knees you in the face, then throws a Batarang at you before doing a backflip and hitting you with a runaway Batmobile.
