game review: justice league heroes- for DS

I remember when justice league heroes and marvel ultimate alliance were announce to come out, the first thing I thought was "wow two comic book games coming out at the same time they must be awesome." I was half right because justice league heroes is a mind numbing excuse that gets tired really quick,at least for the DS. I want to make thins clear I'm talking about the nintendo DS version of the game and not any console version. I have no way to compare because I haven't played any console version of this game. the plot of this game is basic but it doesn't have to be elaborate for the purpose of the game. Each character has special moves that can stun enemies or attack from afar, most of the time this will be your most reliable weapons because your fist are too slow to do considerable damage most of the time. your characters do have to ability to heal slowly so you don't need to go roaming the level for extra health.

You don't have access to every character when you start the game some of them come later. This may not seem like a problem but it does put you in a "sucky" situation. Because by the time you have made it to stage two with whatever two characters they have already level up to at least to level 5, which means if you switch both characters you will unknownigly start with two level 1 characters! I barley survived stage 2 because of this I had to run through the level and I almost didn't make it. from that point on I only used the flash and superman because I don't want to train the rookies. there is a way to get past this pitfall if you have already fallen prey to it.

The thing that can help you the most will be the unoriginality of the enemies. It goes like this "find random enemy, find portal where they originate". These portals are a life saver if you need to level up and have lots of time on your hands. for an indefinite amount of time they will come out of these portals so you have and endless stream of XP. as long as you don't let the enemies overwhelm you, you can level up for as long as you want.

while we are on the subject lets talk about boss battles. they are ridiculously easy. I don't know about you but when I fight a boss I switch the flash and go to town on their ass's. all you need is some speed to dodge attacks and you will be fine.the bosses are basically a regular villain with more health.

so with certain loopholes this game can be easy as cake which which makes it really not fun. the level set ups are the all the same,the objectives for each level are the same, and the attacks of the villains are all the same. they basically just switched the appearence of each level and that's it! this game as compared to other games of this sort like ultimate alliance falls short. this is inexcusable even for a portable system, because as compared to "justice league heroes: the flash" for the gameboy advance, this game those little to capture the feel of its source material which is sad because a spin off game on a older system is a hell of allot more fun.

I recommend you skip this cheap cop-out excuse for a game and play anything else. thanks for reading hope you enjoyed and I'll keep you posted on there things that are going on. C YA
