I have two sons, ages 6 and 4, who are die-hard superhero fans. I grabbed this game during a sale, thinking Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash...wow! All these superheroes in one game! Well, all of those superheroes don't really matter when the gameplay is monotonous beat-'em-up. I was hoping for something along the lines of the Fantastic Four title on the Game Boy Advance, where each superhero has distinct skills and abilities. Batman and Superman -- and Wonder Woman! for that matter -- shouldn't be interchangable but that's the case here. I've read that the Playstation 2 version of Justice League Heroes was more enjoyable and that's the direction I'd point you in should you also own that console. For Nintendo DS players, I recommend you pick up a Game Boy Advance copy of Justice League Heroes: The Flash or wait until a better DC superhero game is released on the Nintendo DS In the meantime, check out my Amazon Listmania Lists of Nintendo DS games for young boys.

I've read the other reviews and it's not as bad as people have been writing. Each JLA superhero (you can choose from Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Batman) is specialized. Each has characteristics unique to the charachters (Superman and Wonder Woman can fly, Flash is fast, etc.). The regular henchman are not unique, but that's true of a lot of video games. The bosses are distinct enough to keep it interesting. The graphics are excellent and the storyline is engaging. I would have given it 5 stars if they would have gone a little further in developing the story elements, but it was overall a fun DC hero based game.
