Great fun game
I got this game for my brother on his birthday, and I thought it would be something only he would enjoy but instead I gave it a try in its great co-op mode and had a great time. The graphics are great and the story line is pretty good for a game like this. While it was annoying sometimes to only having 2 players at a time unlike X men legends. The upgrading system is really intuitive and fun. Enjoy this game at this great price.

Lackluster action RPG...
I basically knew what I was getting into with this. If you've ever played the X-Men Legends games, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, the Baldur's Gate title for consoles, heck, even Diablo, this is basically a similar take, only in the DC universe. The only problem with this is that the execution seems a bit off. It seems to run at about half the speed of any of the other games, and compared to the most recent, Ultimate Alliance, it truly pales in comparison. That's not to say that it's bad, just a bit dulled. The story is a bit hokey, it only allows for 2 players to play at the same time, and some of the roster choices are rather dubious (sorry, never been a fan of Zatanna). With so many things to draw on from the DC Universe, the amount of unlockables also seems second rate, again, especially when you compare it to Marvel Ultimate Universe, with its plethora of characters, alternate versions, items, missions, etc.
JLHeroes isn't a bad game, just an underwhelming one. If you can get it for a good price, get it by all means, but don't expect a DC version of MUA (or even X-Men Legends for that matter).

Lots of fun - Great Story Line - Awesome Graphics
My husband and I bought this at the same time we purchased Marvel Alliance. This game was just a "yeah that should be fun" kind of purchase and we were all set to devote ourselves fully to the Marvel game. We decided to give the Justice League game a whirl and quickly got hooked. The graphics are totally great for an xbox game. Every character has amazing detail and is just what you expect. What was a nice surprise is the total interactivity of the environment - the ability to pick things up. Not only can you pick things up and throw or destroy them - the action is appropriate to the character you are playing. Basically Superman can pick up and throw everything but a character like Batman cannot but Batman has abilities that are specific to him. The level of detail for all of the items is amazing - you pick up a desk and papers fall off of it - or you pick up a hot dog cart and buns and dogs go everywhere. Amazing! The game has a fantastic engaging story (though my husband had to explain who all the bad guys are) so you don't have to be totally into comics to understand or enjoy. The game has a high level of replay because you can add powers and boosts to your character and also team them differently. The cooperative play is just great and we love games that let us play missions together. Overall extremely happy with Justice League and we're looking forward to any future sequels.

Camera angle is terrible!
I started this game and haven't even wanted to finish the first level because of the terrible camera angle. You are looking down from above, you cannot zoom in or really rotate around to get a good view of the characters.
The logic of the characters' abilities doesn't make much sense; you start out with Superman and Batman having the same strength. Even in the origional justice league stories, Superman was an alien with superhuman powers while Batman was just a human with outstanding, but normal human abilities who utilized his wit and devices to defeat vilians, they couldn't equally take down an enemy with their bare hands. But in this game that's not the case. They both can punch a robot and equal number of times to destroy it.

Alright
Justice League Heroes is basically a remake of the X-Men Legends title. The gameplay is mostly the same with a twist here and there. You cannot choose a hero to play as the story determines this for you most of the time.
Bottom line: It's alright.
