The computer opponents even compensate for this lack of fluidity with extremely cheap fighting styles. While each character packs three or four special moves, the standard attacks (like the quick and medium punches and kicks) feel the same, and the combination attacks lack the continuity of movement most players want in their fighting games. The heroes' and villains' fighting styles don't differ much, and they interact more like brawlers in a beat-em-up game than full- on fighters. Justice FatigueĬontrol is the weakest aspect of this game. Moody music and custom background sounds, like the whipping wind in Flash's stage, bring a unique sonic presence to each match.
The combat sound effects are also reminiscent of SF 2, though the sparring superheroes occasionally voice super grunts. The sound, like the graphics, rates better than average.
Each fighter's background, however, is well illustrated and offers touches of animation, plus a few token breakables (a la Street Fighter 2). Although they look good while posing, the villains and heroes unfortunately diminish in visual quality when they move, becoming stiff and less detailed. The characters are well drawn, standing about as tall as most fighting-game sprites. In the Story mode you battle evil clones of the other justice League members before squaring off against Darkseid and his minions in the final rounds. The three styles of play include a Battle mode, a two-player Versus mode, and a Story mode. In this game you can assume the role of one of six Justice League heroes (including Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, Flash, and Aquaman) and three villains, Darkseid, Despero, and Cheetah.
If Batman and Superman duked it out, who would win? If you're tormented by questions like this, try Justice League Task Force, an average fighting game that lets you pit your favorite DC heroes against each other.
