How many of you haven't dreamed of being a super hero? When seeing movies with Super Man or Batman or any other heroes, I bet you wanted to be like them. Or maybe you prefer being the bad guy. If that's the case, it's not a good day to be a villain. Justice League Heroes or JLH, gives you the opportunity to chase bad guys and masterminds and kick their asses. Snowblind did a wonderful job bringing this DC Comics world into PSP style.

The whole plot is created by Brainiac and his villain crew, who have a master plan to conquer the world and eliminate the Justice League forever. Luckily for mankind, heroes like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Zatanna and others will fight evil so we can live another gaming day.

As the game starts you play as Superman and Batman. You can switch through heroes, so you can choose the one you like most or the one who suits your playing style. Of course everyone wants to be Superman, being strong, looking good in that blue outfit and red panties. (Oh yeah!) Of course if we think it through, we realize that playing with Superman or Batman it doesn't really makes the difference except for the powers. I mean, Superman's powers are Strength, Super punch, Heat Vision and Super Breath. But when comparing his damage with Batman's you'll see no difference. Why? Superman is Superman. If he kicks a robot, the robot should fall down in pieces. But, let's get back to our story.

Each hero has about 5 powers and 4 abilities. Each time you kill a bad guy (contrary to what superheroes do) you receive experience and sometimes powerups, like full heal. But I wouldn't put too much hope in that (getting powerups help, but aren't vital). If you just want to heal, you can step out of combat and after a few seconds life and energy will recharge. Each power you use will consume your energy which normally will be enough for only 2-3 power uses. Your energy can be upgraded as your character evolves. With every level you receive boost (experience) points which you can spend upgrading powers or abilities to a max of rank 4. You can increase your damage at certain powers, the efficiency, the duration or even unlock new powers.
During your mission to save the world you fight in the city with robots, at the subway with drones which infects other people to fight against you, caves filled with wasps, Quadlerk which look like jellyfish, Voppers who sprays some green stuff on you and slows your movement and attack speed for a short duration, White Martians and lots more. At the end of each level you fight a Boss which, if at first may look not that challenging, they will surely put you some problems at higher levels. So don't just expect to punch your way trough, you'll need to use the brain too. Normally, the game will give you two heroes to play with at the beginning of each mission. You can play with any of the two and when controlling one, the other will be controlled by the A.I who does a really good job. If it happens to get killed (what can I say? nobody's perfect) you can resurrect your ally at the save points found in the level, or simply finish the level with the one alive and your ally will be resurrect for the next mission (ain't that's nice?). At some point you will have to choose what heroes do you want to play with in the next missions, so choose well or else you might not make it.

Combat style is kind of the same for all heroes. You have quick attack and strong attack, so you can combine them into combos for more powerful attacks. But when making a combo and the enemy dies or if you miss him, you'll see your hero punching the air quick and hard like his life depended on it. Because the view mode is like the one used in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (also made by Snowblind Studios), a rotating-sky camera mode, you don't always get to hit your opponent.

Levels and environment are well build and offer a wide variety of areas. You go from the city to subways, hive, laboratories, military base, missile site even to Mars or flying in the space. The game also contains a mini-map, so in case you get lost you can find your way again. In every level, you will find Shields with which you can buy new costumes with different stats for your heroes and new heroes that will be used only in missions that allow hero selection. Unlockable heroes are Huntress, Aquaman, the Green Arrow and others for you to discover.

Each hero has a submenu with his powers, boosts, bio and log.

Powers menu displays available powers as well the information about each power, the rank of the powers and the available boost points.

In Boosts menu are all the boosts available: Duration, Damage, Range, Efficiency, Speed and Luck. You can combine 3 different Boosts or 3 of the same kind to create a higher quality boost.

The Bio menu displays the current level of the hero, the amount of experience and how much more do you need for the next level, health, energy and some biographic notes about the hero.

Next, in Log menu all the missions completed and uncompleted are showed as well as available shields collected. This is the place for you to unlock heroes or but new suit for your current heroes.
