Did not suck, it just wasn't all it could have/should have been. If they'd ripped off the X-Men Legends games even more it would've been a lot better and not just a brawler, but then everyone would've accused them of just ripping them off, so it's not like there was much they could do. Being second to market sucks.

The only thing I thought sucked was Batman's voice. Sounded like he just woke up or something. It's still worth an afternoon (my only other real gripe, that's all it takes to beat it).

It actually did suck pretty bad.

I bought it a while ago, and played it on my 360. There were maybe 2 to 4 heroes on screen and theres mass slowdown. I don't care if its an original xbox game, there shouldn't be that much slowdown. It had way more potential, too.

Dude, that was the high point for the game for me. Ron Perlman is God.

I love him too, just not as Batman.

I'unno I played JLH on PS2 when it first came out and don't remember having many glitch or slowdown problems. Only two heroes onscreen wasn't great, but in XML I only ever used the same couple people anyways, the rest just stood around. Meh.

I just think people are a bit picky about games anymore, saying this or that "sucks" just b/c it's not perfect when in fact, most "sucky" games are fine to adequate.

We're all spoiled. It's true.

When I said "sucked" I meant in comparison to Legends/Ultimate Alliance. It wasn't, by any means, in my opinion, close to the worst game I've played.

Ah, m'kay. Yeah, I try hard not to do that anymore unless something actively sucks. I find it mean. Lotsa games (movies and comics and everything else, too) get tossed aside or ignored because they only get 3 out of 5 or 6 out of 10, and thus "suck". And since I'm a bitter, angry, mean-spirited person in real life, I've been trying to find little ways to show my appreciation for the mediocre.

I feel ya, man. I like a lot of games most people hate. Adversely, I also really, really dislike a lot of games that are well-loved.

~~Leo656~~ · 04-08-2009, 05:00 PM

My problem is a knee-jerk hatred of almost ANYthing popular. I usually rediscover things once the hype is gone and all that, and enjoy them on my own. Cuz I hate sheep, you understand.

But yeah, me too. I find the gold in the mediocre and the tarnish on the beloved. People hate people like us.
