Computer Gaming: Task 2 Video Game Analysis Report

In this report, i will be analysing the games which i played at the 2013 Euro Gamer Expo. I will be talking about the games' features, the locations, the graphics, storyline e.t.c. The games i will be conversing about are the 'Injustice Gods Among Us' and 'The Crew' game. The 'Injustice' has already been released, but the 'Crew' game has not. What i played was just the full online demo at EuroGamer.


Injustice Gods Among Us


The Injustice game is solely focus on the DC Universe. Injustice the makers of Mortal Kombat, Injustice: Gods Among Us tells an original story set in a world where the lines between good and evil have become blurred. Split into several chapters and filled with one-on-one matches, you'll switch between different heroes and villains, each with their own strengths, fighting styles and powers. Plus there's the online "King of the Hill" mode for eight fighters to take turns fighting and spectating in the ultimate battle!
With a roster including everyone from icons like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman to cult characters like Deathstroke and Harley Quinn, this is a fighting game in a (Justice) League of its own!


This is the game play for Mortal Kombat


This is the Injustice gods Among Us Gameplay


The fighting mechanics are similar to Mortal Kombat, they both use the same buttons to attack and to do the special. In terms of the graphics, costumes are designed by the costume creator for Mortal Kombat. The game uses location from the DC Universe such as Gotham City (Batman, The Joker, Harley Quinn and Bane), Metropolis (Superman, Lex Luther), The Watch Tower, Joker's Asylum, Fortress of Solitude and may more. Similar to Mortal Kombat, Injustice has stages where the environment in interactive. However in Injustice you can knock your opponent into a different stage and drain a hell of a lot of life. The lack of a block button and the change to light-medium-heavy is the core mechanical difference, but there are plenty of changes under the hood as well. “The utilization of the PS3’s SPUs on Injustice goes way beyond anything we did in Mortal Kombat, enabling us to have roughly three times the amount of objects on screen at a single time,” Sanchez explains. Dynamic lighting and particle effects may not be the selling point for a massive crossover fighter like this, but it’s heartening to hear that this isn’t just a re-skin of a previous game.

The Crew

The Crew is car racing RPG game. The Crew is an open and persistent world for racing across the United States. Missions can be played alone, with a friend or online. The Multi-player mode lets people create teams to compete online in races and other game types. The graphics of the game are amazing, since it's PS4 I'm not really surprised. The the game's location(s) are based in the USA. The level of detail of the game makes it seem as if you are actually in the city.
