A Mindless Boring Button-Mashing Game with Heroes in It

I finished the game and had to write a review on this game because it was so bad. The game is basically a button-mashing game with no excitement. I found myself trudging through the game just so that I could finish it. Otherwise I would have spent a lot of money for nothing. If you are a novice gamer, you will get bored with this game. If you are a veteran gamer, you will stop playing in ten minutes. Don't waste your money on this game. It felt like a game the company rushed to put out in order to cash in on the super hero craze and/or holiday spending. There are many games out there that are super hero games out there that are a whole lot better like X-Men Legends I and II. They even came out way before this dud.

Second-Rate Game

This is simply a second-rate game, a pretender, a wannabe. It simply reeks of rush job made to cash in on the super-hero craze. You battle through hordes and hordes of robots. It feels more like a chore rather than fun. The super-heroes themselves blend in with the other enemies so that you can't see them amongst the hordes and hordes of robots. Then the game ends. No special cut-scenes. Just screen credits. That after working hard to clean the screen of robots. To add insult to this whole thing the game is very short. Don't waste your money on this rubbish. Take it from me, once you've played the other super-hero games you will see how really bad this one is. Save a little bit more and get the real game. Don't waste your money on this game. Show the game developers that you don't like being ripped off by games like this.

big let down

My wife and I are big fans of co-op games and we've played the xmen and the champions of norrath and we were stoked to play the game, but it was way to short,left us wanting something more, and some of the super powers were on the weak side as well as the way to "upgrade" your powers, also on the cut scenes the graphics are very rough looking (wonderwoman looked as if she was more manly then female and she also had a haggarred look about her). This game left us regreting paying the full new game price of 50 dollars, for kids I'm sure the game is great. But be advised if you get this game buy it used. Don't get to excited for this game for you might get let down big time.

Batman is the only redeeming quality.

This game sucks. They don't feel like the heroes that they are. The only real difference between any of these superheroes is what they can and can't lift and their costumes. I don't quite think the gameplay works all that well for the Justice League. It works very well in the X-Men Dimension games and the Marvel Ultimate Alliance game, but in this game, it just feels dull. Quite possibly because almost all of the superheroes in DC are just very powerful. The game doesn't work well and it doesn't give you that good clean fun that should come with playing as one of these superheroes. They all have really hardcore powers and are cool in the comic books and in the tv shows, but once they hit the videogame world, they somehow lose all of their appeal.

The voiceovers in the game were semi-decent. I like Ron Perlman, but not as Batman. It didn't seem right. Why couldn't they get Kevin Conroy from the Animated Series? He's the best Batman ever voice wise.

This game is a major dissapointment that feels clunky, outdated, and takes away pretty much all of the fun that should be associated with a superhero. Stick with the Marvel universe games until someone else acquires the rights to make DC games. Hopefully they can do better than this pile of crap.

Phoning it in

My wife and I were thrilled when JLH came out and got it immediately. We're both big Justice League fans (mostly from tv) but could not help but be very dissapointed with the game.

We played two-players and enjoyed the different abilities of the characters. However the overhead view (much like the X-Men games but not as good) often obscured the action and lots of tight spaces made running in tandem difficult more often than it needed to.

Worst is the "dramatic" depiction of the characters. Not to sound too nerdy here but, Superman is supposed to be, well, nice/good, but was portrayed as overly testosterone-y. The cutscene graphics were outdated and made the heroes look unnatractive, the storyline was very simple and showed very little creativity. With the wealth of DC story writing they could have done so much better.

The game was very short (about 15 hours). There were destructable surroundings but you don't get anything for destroying your surroundings, like power-ups or secret items (and we broke everything breakable...everything). And when the game ended, it just sort of ended, no cool closing cut-scene for completing the game, just looping graphics behind the credits, no easter-eggs (that we found anyway), nothing much at all.

The designers/developers needed to play a few other games to see what they were competing against. I would rather assume they didn't instead of assuming they did and just chose to make a comparitivly weak effort at a game that so many were looking forward to.

So, if you want to play as The Flash, or unlock Hawkgirl, you can have some fun, but I would warn any buyers to keep their expectations very low because the designers seemed to be just phoning it in.

fun but familiar

kind of fun but very similar to other games ,like Marvel Ultimate Alliance, except with smaller mission teams(with less controller change options) and NO team member choice options, which is the biggest game flaw. plus the voice acting, while well done, is flawed

Underwhelming

For all the pre-release talk about how this game was going to try and make each hero both distinctive and evocative of their comic-book inspiration, this game is basically a reskinning of a standard-issue arcade punch-and-shoot-em-up. Superman can fly, technically, but really what he does is sort of hover and geriatrically creep forward through the air. Batman and Superman take the exact same amount of damage from getting punched in the face by the same robot. And so on. For someone who hasn't played this sort of game before and really likes DC Comics, it's a decent enough effort. (My five-year old thinks it is fun.) For anyone who had even modestly higher expectations, it's a disappointment.

All Done!

I got this game when it first came out, and I've already finished it. By no means am I a gamer, but this game was not challenging at all. You would think that the powerhouse superheroes like SuperMan and Wonder Woman would be tougher. I was able to beat the bosses without dying once. This game was a big dissapointment. At least Marvel Alliance comes out tomorrow!

Disappointing

"Justice League Heroes" is disappointing for several reasons. First, the arcade style seems a bit outdated and due to the camera angle, which primarily has you looking down on the characters, makes you feel almost detached from the game. It doesn't help that your character often blends in with the bad guys, especially in the darker levels. This isn't as noticeable when you are playing as Superman or Flash with the bright red costume but it is a bit of an issue when playing as some of the other characters. You have virtually no control over the camera and at times, when you are fighting next to large objects, the characters are completely obscurred.

Another complaint is the inability to select which characters you will use to complete a mission, especially early on in the game as they are pre-selected. The graphics are decent although the backgrounds tend to be a bit generic and you'll see the same thing over and over. There are essentially no areas to explore outside of the general gameplay area and in fact, you can't access many of the areas due to police roadblocks, etc. This seems almost ridiculous since your character can pick up cars and throw them but you can't move a wooden road block. The voice work is good but you'll hear the same comments repeatedly. The interaction between the characters is also odd. Batman seems to almost detest Superman: "I didn't ask for your help" kind of thing. Superman is a bit smug as well. Ah, super egos.

The game is a button masher for sure and there is very little challenge to figuring out what you need to do to progress. The controls are very easy to learn and combos are typically limited to 4 buttons. There is a great deal of repetition in the enemies you'll fight as well. The first few levels consist of robots, robots and more robots, followed by robots and giant bees...yes, bees. Checkpoints are frequent and you can use them to revive a fallen team mate. The levels are short and the game itself is short. If compared to other superhero games, "Justice League Heroes" is better than most but if you compare to other fighting games, it falls short. The game gets tedious quickly and a single-player game is significantly worse. Glad I did not purchase and only rented.

Not Marvel, but not bad

Kinda of supprising for me was this game. I am a huge super man fan and grew up on DC comics, however my husband is a marvel fan so we first bought the marvel version of this game and then this one. I have to say marvel put it together alot nicer then this one, and easier to understand. There are a few bonuses to this game, but i wont ruin it for you. Over all it was a blast to play but marvel would have gotten 5 stars
