Justice League Heroes plays a lot like X-Men Legends and I think thats what Snowblind was going for when they developed the game. The game is not long by Action/Rpg standards but its still long enough to be entertaining. Level design is mediocre for the most part but at least looks decent, theres just nothing that really stands out. Character models look like there respective characters. Overall the graphics are above average in most departments. Music is about average and the voice acting is surprisingly done half way decent. The CGI scenes is pretty much the highlight of the game and will keep you playing just so you can see the next cut scene. Gameplay like I said is a lot like X-Men Legends which is a good thing because its a fun formula. Enhancing your powers is not too in depth here but is still fun because you can make your characters stronger in certain areas. Also there are some unlockables as in you can buy new costumes and some new characters with shields you pick up. Overall I highly recommend this game since you can get it at a fair price. Replay value is up to the individual person. I enjoyed the game from start to finish so I will be playing again at least one more time through.

I really enjoyed this game. More importantly, my 4-year old LOVES it (a bit too much, probably). We have great fun playing it together and exploring the different super-powers available and great virtual locations in which the action takes place. Even my wife enjoys playing it occassionally. To the harsh critics of this game: Give it another chance, you may find it grows on you. Admittedly, it's not one of those games that provides any serious challenges (e.g., Half-Life 2) but it's still hours and hours of good bad-guy-smashing fun. Mind you, if you are not a fan of DC Comics, you may be at a disadvantage. If you are, though, you have one more reason to love this simple but entertaining game.
