Injustice: Gods Among Us

It really does play almost exactly like the new Mortal Kombat game, but I personally really like that one a lot. It feels maybe a little faster though, you block by pressing the backward direction from where you're facing (a la Street Fighter), there are three attack buttons and one ability button as opposed to four attack buttons, health bars don't reset with rounds (can't remember if you can change that), there aren't any tag team battles (my biggest gripe), and obviously there are no Fatality's.

I'd recommend trying the demo before buying it.

that's my biggest gripe as well. its' the reason i still play Mortal Kombat with my friends. i wonder if it would be possible to add that through DLC[/quote]

 

Ah, just noticed this...

I'm gonna guess you can't, as it's built in to the flow of play. It's not so much that health bars don't reset with rounds, but that each player has a persistent health bar with two layers, and the depletion of one layer forces both players to neutral position, a sort of mini-round end. It's a system first used by Darkstalkers, and likely takes inspiration from it.
