Not the biggest Fighting game player ever, but this was pretty good. The story was mostly interesting and had excellent voice talent. Decent roster and fun mechanics. Lots of content as well. But it didn't do anything particularly groundbreaking. Just well. And that's about the best way to sum it up.
Not a big fan of superheroes but I liked this!
I personally prefer DC more than Marvel due to the darker approach, so I might be a little bit biased but this is perhaps my favorite superhero based fighting game.
The story is surprisingly decent, it's not very short and has some interesting moments in it, which is unusual for a game of this genre.
Gameplay mechanics are very smooth and floaty, landing combos feels fun even though it's quite easy because at times it feels like the game plays itself, which is hard to explain. Also some challenges can be a pain in the ass like in most fighting games.
Lastly, the stages look nice and the graphics are lowkey ahead of their time, this game aged well in some ways.
Final Rating: "Good" ~ 7/10.

very fun fighting game and a childhood classic for me. i absolutely hate the premise of the story now that i'm older and the star labs missions suck the life out of me, but the gameplay is enough to make up for it. the sequel's even better though so i'd only revisit this for the exclusive characters
