It’s nice being able to explore an arena - there are 14 in the game that range from the Guardian’s Green Lantern base to the Batcave to Themyscira - but it’s frustrating to launch a screaming skull as Shang-Tsung and have the opponent just step to his or her right and watch the Supermove - what the game calls all of your cool moves beyond simple attacks - fly on by. The choice is nice, but I personally would’ve preferred anchoring the title to the 2D controls. Meanwhile, the left stick is strictly 3D movement. The D-pad controls your movement on the 2D plane (crouching, jumping, and moving), but if you hold down L2, your up an down arrows move you in the 3D sense of side to side.

DC Universe blends both of these styles with a varied amount of success. Suddenly, characters could just walk deeper into the plane and watch Liu Kang’s fireballs float past them harmlessly. However, when MK made the move to the 3D realm, things got sticky. Being an awesome fighter came down to timing your blocks and moves while dodging ranged attacks the best that you could with your limited movement options. When things were 2D on your SEGA Genesis and Super Nintendo, Mortal Kombat was simple: up was jump, down was crouch, and left/right moved you left/right.

DC packs 22 characters from both the videogame that became Exhibit A in how brutal this medium could be and the comic book powerhouse that’s been around for more than 70 years. This game defies logic by both existing and not sucking.
