Justice League: Chronicles

"Hello? hello..hello...hello..."

Ive been a fan of the Justice League since its TV debut, the show is still good, I mean awesome. Completely flawless, best comic book adaptation ever. In fact I love the show so much, Im probably the only guy who ever played the game. Just so you know, I didnt buy it if you know what I mean.

Story: 8/10=4/5
The Chronicles in the game based on 3 TV episodes, turned into levels. Trial in Ape City, Gorilla Grodd has put the world under his control with his psychic powers. Dark Winter, a new breed of the "injustice league" are up to no good. And The Savage Time, where an immortal names Vandal Savage goes back in time to WWI...or is it II?...well, to change the history of the world. And it's up to Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (John Stewart, theres more than one GL), The Flash, Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter to stop them all, one episode at a time...watch the show, it's much better than the way im reviewing it.

Audio: 5/10=2/5
Well the menus are all silent, and all you hear are those electric buzzes heard on an old computer, the music isnt very memorable but pretty much matches the environment youre in. The SFX are just thwack, thwack boom, whoosh you know the classic action cartoon sounds. not bad.

Video: 7/10=3/5
The 2nd best thing in the game, the sprites are cartoony instead of 3D-ish like the last game. As 32-bit as the game could get. Animations are fine, no complaints. The game is viewed from a bird's eye. The mugshots are a bit off though.

Gameplay: 8/10=4/5
Ahhh...the game's best feature, you play two heroes per level, interchangeable as are their powers. B is jump, A is attack, R is the special power, L changes the 1 of 2 powers you want to use and A+B picks up items AND people so you can throw them! Some characters can also fly. The game can be easy sometimes, the last boss is just a walk in the cake. Yup.

Buy/Rent/Bargain Bin: Rent/Bargain bin
You dont really want to waste money on this, its a keeper if youre a fan. The fan who goes to work and has nothing to do and playing something better will distract him near the end of a coffee break.

Replay:2/10=1/5
Nah...

Overall: 7/10
Well, I must admit, despite the rating given this is the Best JL game so far, Task Force and Injustice for all just dont match up to this at all. Up next, Justice League of america, online!
