I have two sons, ages 6 and 4, who are die-hard superhero fans. I grabbed this game during a sale, thinking Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash...wow! All these superheroes in one game!
Well, all of those superheroes don't really matter when the gameplay is monotonous beat-'em-up. I was hoping for something along the lines of the Fantastic Four title on the Game Boy Advance, where each superhero has distinct skills and abilities. Batman and Superman -- and Wonder Woman! for that matter -- shouldn't be interchangable but that's the case here.
I've read that the Playstation 2 version of Justice League Heroes was more enjoyable and that's the direction I'd point you in should you also own that console. For Nintendo DS players, I recommend you pick up a Game Boy Advance copy of Justice League Heroes: The Flash or wait until a better DC superhero game is released on the Nintendo DS
In the meantime, check out my Amazon Listmania Lists of Nintendo DS games for young boys.

I've read the other reviews and it's not as bad as people have been writing. Each JLA superhero (you can choose from Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Batman) is specialized. Each has characteristics unique to the charachters (Superman and Wonder Woman can fly, Flash is fast, etc.). The regular henchman are not unique, but that's true of a lot of video games. The bosses are distinct enough to keep it interesting.
The graphics are excellent and the storyline is engaging. I would have given it 5 stars if they would have gone a little further in developing the story elements, but it was overall a fun DC hero based game.

Justice League Heroes is a surprisingly good super hero smash on the consoles, but on the DS it's a different story. Justice League Heroes for the DS is the kind of generic, bland, lame, super hero beat 'em up that gives licensed games of this type such a bad name. Playing as Superman, Batman, the Flash, and Wonder Woman; you'd think that there'd be some differences between all the characters considering their powers. Here, they react and play virtually the same way, which is a huge disappointment in itself. The levels and areas themselves are of the 3-D kind, jam packed with hordes and hordes of killer robots for you to smash up on your mission to take out Brainiac; and none of it is very hard. Not to mention that the 3-D environments themselves look blocky and just plain bad, and the animation is jerky and buggy to boot. I know the DS is capable of providing great 3-D graphics (look at Super Mario 64 DS or Spider-Man 2), but the overall package here just feels rushed. It's a shame too, because this could have actually been pretty good. If you want a portable Justice League game, check out the surprisingly good Justice League Heroes: The Flash for the GBA, which is much, much better than this, which should be left on the shelf where it belongs.

The game play on this is absolutely awful. It's hard to control the characters and you fight the same enemies over and over again. Don't waste your money like I did.

Mario Kart DS and StarFox Command prove the DS is capable of better than this...
Hugely repetetive; evokes LJN's X-Men for NES -- and not in a good way; lousy control response; already found one glitch where I fell through the floor into nothingness, then jittered to an arbitrary point on the map; load time (?!?)
