  • DC Comics is a legendary name, is it not? The home of Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Green Lantern, The Flash, hell, why not just say the JUSTICE LEAGUE, right? But despite having all these top tier, high caliber heroes under their umbrella, heroes who have starred in some tremendous films... why is it that DC's video games don't stand as tall as they shoulder? There are huge hits, don't get me wrong. The Batman Arkham trilogy changed video games forever. DC Universe Online is an MMO with more than 10 years of history under its belt. But Justice League Heroes, an action RPG from the brilliantly talented Snowblind Studios, seems to have come and gone. Today, we're going to dive deep into the life and death of Justice League Heroes.

  • @Areala21
    @Areala21 Год назад +11

    Oh my GAWD, I've been WAITING for you to talk about this one! Seriously one of the best blind purchases I've ever made. I remember walking into GameStop in 2006, not even knowing this game was a thing, seeing it on the shelf, and my jaw dropping. I had to take it home, and I played the hell out of it. Crispin Freeman as Superman, Ron Perlman as Batman, Michael Jai White as Green Lantern, and Kari Wahlgren as Zatanna? Holy shit, YES PLEASE!!
    This game is ABSOLUTELY the one time a game developer got Superman 100% correct: insane hit points, insane combat damage, and power moves that actually FEEL powerful. The higher levels of Heat Vision that literally push enemies off the screen with a concentrated burst feel so good. Wonder Woman's block reflecting enemy projectiles? SO on point. Zatanna speaking in reverse to cast all her spells (along with the one that turns enemies into bunnies)? Hell yeah!
    The only problem I had with the game was that the unlockable characters, while cool, could only be utilized in the scenarios where you could pick your team. This meant it was very difficult for them to be powerful enough to be appropriate for the few times you could use them. I loved Huntress, but by the time you get to use her, she's doing damage in the teens and twenties with her attacks, and has zero powers unlocked, while the other members of your team are all hitting much harder and have numerous special moves available.
    I also wasn't a fan of the system that let you slot the orbs into different skills to boost them to varying degrees. Boost orbs are a finite resource, and unless you're hoarding them throughout the whole game, and combining them as you go along to make better ones, it always seems like a waste to use them since they can't be retrieved once they're slotted in, only replaced. They're great if you hold them for the end game and use them to turn Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, Superman, or Green Lantern into complete curb-stomping powerhouses for the final fight with Darkseid, but otherwise the upgrades aren't all that impressive. :)
    Oh, and how pissed was I that Supergirl was only unlockable on the PSP version, despite being in the credits for the PS2 and Xbox versions? Not cool, Snowblind. Gimme my Supergirl!
    But that's my rant for the night. Mega cool to see you talk about this game, Ian, and I am OVER THE MOON for your next Superman For Everyone release!

    Oh, wow. Nostalgia trip.
    I knew a couple of the people involved with this game and it was such an exciting release since I loved the developer’s previous games. As a big DC fan, it hit all the right spots.
    As a fan of details, I loved all the little extras they put into it. Doing the hacking mini game as the Flash, for instance, actually gave players more time. And using a melee object as Batman gave him different moves that showed off his skills instead of using it as a club. Even the blocking animations were unique for most characters- Batman would cover himself with his cape, J’onn would phase through, Flash would dodge at super speed and Superman just stuck his chest out. Loved it.
    I’d buy a remaster in an instant.

    Funny you mention the gba flash game. The way I understand it the plan was to make an individual game for several of the characters just like the flash. However I can't remember the reason it just didn't go through which is why Justice League Heroes: flash is an outlier.
    Side note: people feel the way about Superman is because his power level is inconsistent. Sometimes he's a God and other times Batman can slap him around or so which makes him as powerful as the plot needs help him to be at the time. Plus over the years he just kinda gets whatever power he needs at the time to do the job. I need to read the Rebirth story to see how he defeats Dr. Manhatten of the watchmen story because that seems like an interesting fight.

    Great review. This game was seriously underrated, I loved playing it when it first came out. The story and cast of characters were just about perfect, and I loved all the super deep cut stuff because you could really tell it was made by people who did their homework. Playing it again on higher difficulty with your Maxed-out characters is a blast; when playing as Superman at full power, you can just sweep the stages with your heat vision and nuke everything in sight, it recharges so fast you barely need to let it cool down. Feels like a nice earned reward after playing the game enough times through to get your levels that high.
    The unlockable characters and skins were a great incentive to keep playing; they went so far as to give the alternate versions of Flash and Green Lantern different voices, and all the Green Lanterns had slightly different visual effects for their power ring attacks. Those little touches went a long way with me.
    Basically, what sunk this game at launch was the fact that by that point there had been two X-Men Legends games, plus Marvel: Ultimate Alliance; people got the basic idea of what this game was about, but it felt significantly "less than" those Marvel games, since they were all much bigger and longer, with 4 onscreen characters, many more characters to choose from and a ton more content in general. Most of the contemporary reviews directly compare this game to those games, which is maybe a little unfair but also unavoidable. People looked at this game as a downgrade, only for the most hardcore DC fan, since any more casual gamer would choose the other, similar games with tons more content. Nobody thought it was outright "bad", just more of a step back compared to its direct competitors. Many people felt it was a good first try, though, and were hopeful and expecting that a sequel would "catch up" to Ultimate Alliance and provide a much bigger game. Sadly, this game did not sell well enough to get a sequel into production, and that is a huge shame.
    Also, Flash did have other games, though they're a bit obscure. There was a Flash game released for the Sega Master System, and also on the original Game Boy, both based on the 1990 TV series. Neither are considered to be very good, but they're rather rare so they're valuable to collectors. The Master System game may have only been released in Brazil, but I am not 100% on that.

    Man I have to say, it's nice to see someone love Superman as much as I do. I'm forty years old and have a huge collection of figures, statues, comics, games, posters, etc. I can see you do too. I have in fact never heard of this game and I think I know why. It's because the Xbox 360 came out and I was so caught up in that. Great video, take care.

    When I played this game on my xbox, it was a great find because my xbox had been chipped. I must say I hadn't seen or heard of this game but I went and picked up a bunch of games seeing justice league written on the disc, me and my brother started playing immediately. I thought it was amazing but like you said I was a DC fan, my brother wasn't he enjoyed the 1st couple of levels but dropped out very quickly after a barrage of questions because he didn't know anything about the bosses, even some of the plalable characters as well like Martian Man-hunter plus Zattana. I remember playing it for a couple of hours then looking at the new games. It pulled me back in and I love that story. I played that game with great memories, yet I can see if you are not a fan of DC you are going to do what my brother did. Great retrospective Ian.

    Ian, you videos are so enjoyable. Even though I don't really play any of these games, I just like following your passion for them. In fact, you've turned me in to a massive Mortal Kombat fan. Yes, I played the original trilogy as a child, but quit playing after MK3. However, I enjoy following all the news, as well as rewatching your "Mortal Mondays", and past "playthroughs".
    Keep up the great work.

With a revolving 4th character. I just picked it up and I’m loving it, it’s great because I get to relive the things I’ve done/seen in the game,Find some deep cuts with the characters who haven’t done anything but are cool and just feel like a kid again. I highly recommend marvel ultimate alliance 1 and 2

I wasnt bothered by it being so short, being that it was a rented game but if I bought it at full price, that would have been a huge negative. I think games used to cost like $40-50 new? But nonetheless, I did enjoy it. It always reminded me a lot of X-Men: Legends and I loved X-Men: Legends 1 & 2.
