 Time to save the world January 2, 2009
Justice League Heroes is an action RPG game in the same vein as Marvel Ultimate Alliance and X-Men Legends. You take control of heroes like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern to save the world from Brainiac, Grodd, and other DC villains.
I had a lot of fun with this game, though it's not a perfect adventure. True to genre conventions, you roam around maps from an overhead perspective, beating up enemies and slowly leveling up your characters. Each character has 5 special powers you can use, from Zatanna's polymorph ability (turn enemies into rabbits!) to Wonder Woman's lasso and Superman's heat vision. Your mileage will vary with each character - Superman and Wonder Woman are the powerhouses (just like in the comics), and with some leveling up I found Batman to be pretty useful. I never got the hang of Flash, and Green Lantern felt more like a defensive character with his energy shields and cages. The game contains a 'Boost System' that lets you mix and match collected power-ups to create stronger ones to help augment your powers. It adds a bit of depth to what is otherwise a fairly straightforward setup. Early on you'll find you're fairly weak and resort to hit-and-run tactics against enemies. While this never really goes away (your health regenerates over time, so you'll be resting quite a bit), eventually you'll be able to take quite a bit of punishment and give back even more. This is when Justice League Heroes comes to life, and you really feel like you're Superman and Batman.
The game is 2-players only, and half the time restricts you to specific characters each level to further the story (which is written by Justice League Unlimited producer Dwayne McDuffie and is quite good). This wouldn't be so bad except that you also get to unlock additional heroes like Green Arrow and Aquaman, and can use them in select missions. The problem comes in that if you choose to use the bonus heroes and neglect to level-up the original 7, you'll find yourself screwed later on when you're forced to play as Flash and Martian Manhunter again. It's a glaring flaw and takes away from the fun of unlocking and using more DC characters. Otherwise there's the usual AI issues, such as having your partner blunder into a fight and die rather than retreat when their health is low. And the gameplay itself can get a bit repetitive, but that's par for the genre.
If you can overlook the imbalances, this is still a really fun game for fans of DC's heroes. The writing is sharp and the characters look and act exactly like you'd want them to. Definitely worth a try, especially now that the price has dropped.
 DC's Ultimate Alliance December 26, 2008
Ever since the big switch to next gen games gem's like this game are being found in the used bin more and more, I've been buying a lot of games for my last-gen systems ever since all the games that used to retail for $40-$50 have dropped dramatically. I purchased this game for $7.99 which in my humble opinion was a steal it was used and had no packaging but it's not like you actually use any of those things anyways (it did come with a blank case, of course) and for the drastic price reduction it was worth forgoing the instructions.
This is actually one of the better looking games I've played on X Box and it's also a very nice sounding game as well. A point of interest is that Michael Jai White who played Spawn in the Spawn movie plays the John Stewart Green Lantern and Ron Perlman who plays Hellboy provides the voice for Batman, I had no prior knowledge to this until I started playing the game and it was just added coolness. The game has really immersive sound on *certain levels*, that my 5.1 sound system really brought out. The chirping birds in the Gorilla City level wrap the whole room and will even play tricks on you in that you'll be looking out your window wondering where the birds are in December. I've noticed a few glitches in the sound most namely the character voices will say things quite late and if the two characters are having dialogue during game play one will say something and about two minutes later the other will respond. However this may be due to my X Box being nearly 5 years old and starting to break down. I've not tried this game on anyone elses console.
The combat is pretty simple, maybe even a little *TOO simple. You have three or four basic combos that all characters perform the same way but with different animations. But really, no one would be playing a JL game to run around punching people anyways, it's the superpowers that are important and this game delivers on that end. All of your starting characters have five different attacks which can be augmented by and interesting alchemy of boosts, Batman's batarangs for instance. He starts out throwing one that does very minimal damage but as your experience grows and the levels increase he ends up throwing six that do massive damage and usually stun or in the case of robots maim their target. Add to this certain boosts that increase damage, range, chance of stunning or duration of stun this becomes on of the favorite attacks when using Batman. Supermans heat vision is devastating just as it should be. Superman also has a wonderful attack called the Superpunch which I now call the "retcon punch" most comic geeks will know what that's a reference to and when said geeks play the game they'll know why I call it that, just apply five level seven damage boosts and you'll kill anything and everything in your immediate vicinity. Zatanna is one of my favorites as she has an attack that will turn every nearby enemy into lovable cut little bunnies, which you then proceed to pulverize. This of course doesn't work on bosses but could you imagine Doomsday turned into a cut rabbit and getting stomped by Aquaman? In that respect I suppose some gameplay limitations are necessary.
Ok, the leveling up system is nothing we haven't seen in the X Men Legends or Ultimate Alliance games however this is a much simplified system. Leveling up translates to more HP, more EP, and usually a new skill point added to one of your powers. The problem with the leveling of characters is that most levels do not allow you to chose which characters you include in your roster as they're presets and integral to the story of the game that those characters be performing that particular mission. This makes for lopsided leveling where in one play through my Superman was at level 19 my flash was only a level 15. Which made progression and replay on harder skill levels very difficult as some characters will be ready to roll in the higher difficulty setting where others will just get their you-know-whats handed to them and you'll have to play over again in a difficulty over and over again just to get some of the less used characters to the right level to play on the next rung. This is something that bothers me about this game, they could have at least included a more M:UA styled set up for replaying the game which would have helped the level of enjoyment considerably. That's what made M:UA so fun was that you could play through over and over again with different characters and build their stats along the way. And while I'm on the subject of cons to the game I need to mention a FATAL flaw in this game and the reason I gave it three stars, overall. Your characters max out at level 20 and they grow no more after that. This is pretty ridiculous to me since one play through will get Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman almost to level 20. Where the real problem lies is that "Superhero Difficulty" mode is ridiculously hard even if all of your characters are leveled up to 20 and have max boosts in all of their power slots. I've suped up my characters in every way I can possibly think of and I can still barely make it to J'onn and Zatanna's boss.
The unlockables are pretty cool, I think. You can get Superman in the black recovery suit with the SUPER MULLET he was sporting at the same time, there's also the Earth-2 (Golden Age) Superman which is just the exact same skin you start out with, with added gray sideburns. The coolest bit is the "Kandor" costume which I think is just rad. It also changes some of Supermans movements example: instead of putting his hands on his hips and sticking his chest out to block now he holds his arms out in a "na-naaa I'm invincible and you can't hurt me" fashion. All the starting characters have at least two alternate costumes and the highlights are Batman in Golden Age (blue and gray with yellow ellipsed bat symbol) and pretty cool version of the Batman Beyond costume only with a full cape. Which is something I thought Batman Beyond was always missing. Flash, Golden Age (with that silly silver helmet) and another costume that I've never seen and it simply titled "Modern". Wonder Woman as a ridiculously sexy biker chick and John Stewart in a goofy looking classic GL costume (complete with afro!).
The unlockable characters, although you won't be using them much are a pretty nice addition to an already awesome line up, including, The Huntress, Aquaman (I've never used this character once), Hawkgirl who, even at the early levels of her character, does impressive damage with her mace attack. The Green Arrow who just makes this game awesome all by himself, this guy has nothing but ranged attacks involving arrows. I played him on every level possible in "Elite" difficulty and still managed to outlive my more developed character. And there's also two more Green Lanterns, Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner. The two extra GL's have all the same attacks and moves and are just rendered slightly different, a decent touch considering all these characters are, are different skins and voice packs. The even have the same dialogue as the John Stewart character. I would have figured since they were bringing in different voice actors they would change the lines a bit so that if you decide to make a team comprised of two Lanterns they would literally repeat the same thing at each other in different voices, but hey, at least the developers gave you the chance to team two GL's at the same time. On a side note, Black Canary and Supergirl DO NOT appear in the X Box version of this game so don't kill yourself trying to get through "Superhero" difficulty and throw your X Box out the window with rage when you get no reward. Black Canary and Supergirl are unlockable characters on the PSP and DS. Cheat code sites lie...
All in all this is a great game and easily the best game you could get to play as Superman. And just about the only game where you're gonna get to play as the rest of the League, Batman excluded. There are some pet peeves I have like the max character level of 20 and the fact that WW was three lasso based power attacks at least one of which is completely useless, but the the pros far outweigh the cons, who wouldn't want to play as GL and smash 8 foot robots with a giant green hammer? Oddly though, this game really was lacking in the villain department. I would have at least expected the Joker or Solomon Grundy to pop up at some point. Really you're mostly dealing with Superman's villains sans Lex Luthor, he's not even mentioned! The levels are beautiful things to look at, not the funky looking cardboard play house walls that you'll see in X-Men Legends or Ultimate Alliance.
So if you're looking to be entertained, are a Superman fan whose been let down by the video game industry at every turn or are just a JL fan this game is a must. I've played through many times and I think this game has a very high replay value and is only stifled by the inability to pick your characters most levels. I've not played this game in two player so I can't comment on that aspect of the game.
Not as polished as Ultimate Alliance but still FUN! September 5, 2008
This game plays the same Ultimate Alliance and X-Men Legends. However, Justice League's controls are less responsive/more clunky than those other two games. If the controls were spot-on, I would have been happy to give it a 5-star rating. Nevertheless, it was FUN to play 2-player with a friend or by myself. Enemies and bosses were sufficiently smart and challenging to play with. Level ups and skill system are interesting and rewarding. I hope they make another and just fine tune the controls.
Fun, but could be better March 18, 2008
It's a game that while somewhat interesting and entertaining, there are other games that go farther in making an engaging game.. I'd give it 2 1/2 stars if Amazon would let me. One thing that bothered me about the game was all the female characters in the game look like they were designed by a 13 year old boy. Exaggerated and unrealistic body parts are the norm, but besides being inappropriate, are just plain gaudy and silly looking. It's a trend allot of comics and games have taken. I know it is a super hero game, but there should be some since of reason in the design of all the characters.
 Zzzzzzzz March 16, 2008

Walk walk, punch punch, walk walk, punch punch, ad nauseum. I don't understand how anyone could enjoy this type of game. Couldn't even finish it, it was so boring and monotonous.
