Justice League Heroes: The Flash Critic Reviews

This is the first time the spirit of being The Flash has truly been captured. Taking control of a superspeedster and literally running circles around enemies is a ton of fun, and players will be left with a sense of what it might be like to really wear the crimson tights.

It's a great addition that might get more kids who get this game interested in creating them. Heck, it sure beats those awful 'you can make video games' commercials that run on G4 all day and night.

While it doesn't have the graphics of the DS or PSP, it has a lot of fun gameplay in its favor.

The Flash's abilities are implemented in interesting and fun ways, plus the game looks and sounds exactly the way you'd want a comic book game to be presented.

In the end, Justice League Heroes The Flash is a decent arcade action game that really delivers the goods to Game Boy Advance players. It's a shame that the DS version isn't half as good as Flash's solo adventure.

Going very fast is that Flash's whole point, and luckily his standout game gets the idea right. The combat is designed around that premise and works well. Beneath the flashy exterior, however, this game is a typical beat-em-up, for better or worse.

JLH: The Flash isn't bad, but like the man himself, it could be a bit more compelling.

And if you're a fan of The Justice League or The Flash, I emphasize that you should not buy this game, as it may taint how you feel about both of them.
