[@Areala21]

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!

[@616Entertainment]

Great writeup, and I agree with you 100%. I never owned the PSP version, so I've also never played as Supergirl, which is bogus. Glad you're looking forward to the Superman movie retrospective, I won't let you down.

[@monkeeeman666]

I really loved this game. Very underrated. Iirc Ron Perlman as Batman was pretty cool

[@616Entertainment]

He's always awesome, for sure.

[@MorningSunglasses]

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.

[@616Entertainment]

100%, great writeup.

[@mrnekomaneki01]

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.

[@616Entertainment]

That's the thing about fictional characters: there's really no *real* or *right* way for them to be portrayed, ya know? I personally prefer the Animated Series style to the ones where he's practically untouchable.

[@RikkiRoxxNWS]

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.

[@616Entertainment]

Great write up! And yea, I've been told there are other Flash games in these comments. Weirdly enough they didn't show up in my research AT ALL, I had never heard of them.

I was a HUGE fan of both X-men Legends games and the Marvel Ultimate Alliance series, and I love super heroes in general, so when this came out, I jumped on it. It was fantastic, and every bit as fun as the Marvel games! One of my favorite aspects of Justice League Heroes was that sometimes you could get special dialog in certain levels if you used certain characters together. For example, I unlocked Green Arrow and teamed him up with Batman in the level where we had to infiltrate our own headquarters. As I'm running along, my heroes are suddenly attacked my armed...and VERY damaging missiles! I'd played this level in a previous run through as different heroes, so I was stunned when I heard the following dialog: Green Arrow: "MISSILES???? Who puts armed missiles in their own headquarters?????" Batman: "... It seemed like a good idea at the time..." I fell out of my chair laughing so hard!

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 is very similar. I think it’s the top down dungeon crawler that’s perfect for super hero teams.

What’s crazy is how much better of a game this looks than avengers lmao

[@mysteryneophyte]

I love this game, it's one of my old favorites

[@datamag2018]

Why did I play this game all the way through, but never knew about the unlocks..... I could kick myself!

[@616Entertainment]

Yes!

[@jax6815]

This and Marvel Ultimate Alliance were both my first real introduction to the whole Marvel and DC universes. Both great games but the gameplay definitely got repetitive after a while.

[@waltt69]

I would like to see DC release a good Justice League game that touches on all corners of the DC universe. The current Marvel Avengers game is ok, but seriously lacking in variety, if DC came out with a justice league game that has good depth from the beginning and a fun primary and secondary levelling system they might be able to get a lot of interest because people are becoming frustrated with the current Avengers game and it's rare and irregular DLC releases and lack of bug fixes.

I remember playing this game as a 5-6!year old and never making it past the first couple of missions and always picking the flash

[@michaelrussell3890]

Used to have this; and played it to death! I'm more of a Marvel fan; but still preferred this over X-Men Legends. Only downside for me was all three Green Lanterns playing exactly the same when they had the freedom to create something unique for each of them

[@FreezVy]

when people say its hard to make a superman game they're talking about an open world stand alone game, of course he can work well in injustice that's not the point.

[@616Entertainment]

I wasn’t talking about Injustice. There’s more than one way to make a Superman game.

[@ComicBooksandVideoGameNerd96]

This game is underrated it came out the same year as Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2006 I think it got overshadowed by Ultimate Alliance big time I remember getting both of the games for Christmas of 06 love them both

[@616Entertainment]

Yea, that seems to be the popular opinion.

[@JoshuaKirtley]

I loved this game. I used to rent it at Family Video all the time.

[@sonic-bb]

to be fair, superman in the animated series is like waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay weaker than the superman in the comics that people are referring to when they say you cant make a game around superman. but i agree, just weaken him for game purposes lol. They do it with hulk and thor all the time. superman should be no exception

[@Raqz-3three]

Damn y’all talk about the game like you have full memories. I was only 6-8 when I played it. I wish I could remember it so fondly, not to say I didn’t love it but I just don’t remember much from a young age.

[@detectivedewitt9536]

Remember playing this game and Marvel Ultimate Alliance back on the ps2 era.. both amazing games that would really shine with a proper remake.. really wanted to see games like these nowadays

[@616Entertainment]

Ultimate Alliance 3 just came out three years ago, didn't seem to be received very well, unforrunately. =/

[@detectivedewitt9536]

@@616Entertainment From what I saw from gameplay videos was a good game.. but being a Switch exclusive certainly killed any chance It had to make success

[@616Entertainment]

@@detectivedewitt9536 ???? The Switch has sold over 100,000,000 units, man. That's right up there with the PS4s numbers and way higher than Xbox One.

[@detectivedewitt9536]

@@616Entertainment I know.. but being an exclusive is what killed its potential.. Marvels Avengers was a bust and even then sold double the amount of copies of Ultimate Alliance 3 that was surely a superior game just because Avengers was released in pretty much every platform

[@anthonyjoseph089]

Never played this game but it looks like X-men legends

[@batman3217]

Great Game but the Memory Card Glitch (PS2) killed it for me. (This game will corrupt the memory card for some reason.)

[@616Entertainment]

Never experienced or heard of that issue.

[@derbezacesanchez3779]

The stats and upgrades of your characters can actually carry over to a new game.

[@damiennroddy]

Haha I played this game before Ultimate alliance and Jesus the memories. I loved how their skins were alternate versions of characters. So freaking fun and awesome.

[@joshuavis2736]

I owned the ds version and I couldn’t get past the superman boss. I always reset my game so I could keep playing it.
