The environments shown had multiple levels of play, and the transitions looked as if they were queued in a smiliar manner to Mortal Kombat vs. DC. The transitions were heavy hitting and went both directions. For example during the first second fight demo’d (Solomon Grundy vs. Batman). Grundy knocked Batman through several buildings on to a roof top a few blocks away. Next Batman sent grundy through several stories of brick and mortar to put them on the ground floor of that same building. For the final transition Grundy was able to throw the caped crusader through 5 or 6 buildings until he landed in the original starting zone. I wish my befuddled words could accurately describe how impressive this looked. Not too much information was given about the combat system but Nether Realms did promise that it would have their own specific “stamp”.

The super moves from Mortal Kombat also seem to be making an appearance in the game. However, instead of being bone crushing they’re more over-the-top and focused on the power of the heroes. For example, Grundy stuns his opponent with a quick knife slash, power slams them, and then shatters his own tombstone over their head. To the total contrary Superman uppercuts his opponent into space and slams them back to earth.

Thus far the character list is pretty interesting. The demo included Batman, Superman, The Flash, and my favorite Solomon Grundy. The posters throughout the convention center also showed Harley Quinn who I assume will also be available.

My first impressions of the game are extremely positive. As long as they lean more towards the Mortal Kombat side and away from Mortal Kombat vs. DC side this could be a worthy addition to your collection.
