So far, Wolverine, Ghost Rider and SpiderWoman have been my favorite characters. Spiderwoman's Venom Blast is really powerful when it is leveled up as is Ghost Rider's Hell Fury(I think that's what it's called).

Nobody got the DS version of JLH? I couldn't even find a review on IGN.

I've been using Spidey, Wolvie, Iron Man and Iceman. Good combo. But, like an idiot, I never "officially" set them up as a team. So, I now have strong individuals, but not as a team. :/

I used Captain America, Captain Marvel, Luke Cage, and Thor with Iron Man and Thing subbing in every so often.

I beat the game earlier yesterday and was definitely happy with it. I loved the ending and I might play through the game again to see if I can get a better one.

I'm hoping that Justice League is as good as Ultimate Alliance - I'll wait until I see some reviews before I decide to pick it up or rent it.

Wait, how do you set them as a team? I just read part of the manual, where it says that teams get "team points" and you lose 50 such points whenever you swap someone out. I've been swapping people out left and right.

Also, it's not entirely clear to me... do you unlock the alternate costumes only when you directly control the character for some time, or does it just happen as they level up?

I kinda miss the more precise leveling control you had in Xmen legends, where you could increase their stats as well as the powers manually. I don't miss the 5000 equippable items and having to go back to forge and sell them every few minutes to keep inventory low. Is there any "leadership" ability, like Cyclops had in Xmen Legends, where combo attacks gave you more experience?

As far as I can tell, it's ok to have different people on your created team, however you don't receive any bonus points. Now when you swap someone out from the set roster, then you lose 50 rep points.

As far as the alt costumes, you need to be controlling that specific character until he/she levels up, up to two costumes can be unlocked. 4th has to be unlocked from that character's comic mission.

I'm sorry, I should have clarified - I was playing the PSP version and they do have 4 exclusive characters in that version.

The "team" feature isn't available right off the bat. You have to finish the first couple of missions first. This should have been explained better in the manual.

my team right now is Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man, Iron Man and Thor. I'll probably replace Thor once I get Ghost Rider but I really like that move of his where he smashes the hammer down on the ground.

I just mopped the floor with Mandarin after unlocking some specials. Used Iron Man's ability that lowers Energy cost then pulled out Ms. Marvel's time slowing move and pounded the crap out of him.

I think so far Iron Man is my favorite character.

Has anyone else unlocked Blade? The actual method of unlocking him must be the funniest character unlock I've ever seen in a video game.

I unlocked him with a friend of mine over Xbox Live. The weird thing is, he doesn't show up on my character list, but he shows up on my friend's.

My main team that I used through most of the game so far is Deadpool, Capt. America, Ghost Rider, and Human Torch. Deadpool is insane once you get his powers leveled up.

Also.

It's his Xtreme move or whatever they call it. There's a small white meter that builds up around your picture icon in the bottom left corner that I guess fills from beating the crap out of people. Once that is filled you can use it.

From what I've heard the co-op game works with person A starting a game. If person B joins they are using person A's game save...even on thier xbox. You can save person As game and play from it, but can't move from A to Bs game.

I think.

Aside from graphical upgrades and exclusive characters, is there any difference between the PSP and 360 versions. i.e., is the story the same?

Do it on the screen where you pick your party. Mine worked. However, you don't get the achievement points until you unlock him properly during the game.

Are you sure? I started off with Spidey, Wolverine, Captain Marvel, and umm the big wrestler guy and it announced that I was the New Avengers and got a boost.

I think you have to pick teams that actually existed in the Marvel Universe or some sort of clever combo thereof. A friend got "Double Date" team when he grouped together 2 couples that apparantly dated in the comic books.

I am not a comic person but I think this is pretty sweet.

There are bonuses when you pick characters that are part of a theme or an existing comic book team (you got New Avengers because you used Luke Cage... though I'm not sure why Captain Marvel works for that). This is similar to how X-men Legends did it.

In addition, there is a customizable team option when you get to the Atlantis level (which i got to yesterday) where you choose any four characters to make your team, and if you use them together you'll level up the team as well as the individual characters. You'll lose team points when you swap a character out. (you can eventually buy extra roster spots for the team as well, though I'm not sure how swapping out team members affects the team score).

Ahh! OK. Thanks for the clarification! :-)

How the hell do you beat Ymir the frost god guy? I read somewhere that you have to
Spoiler:
get close to him, and then you do button combinations that are on screen. I've not triggered that at any time when I get near him.

To beat Ymir:

Spoiler:
The mini ice giants that keep respawning, kill them or grab their spear. Just make sure you have their spear. Wait till Ymir slams his club down then run your character that has the spear towards the club. From there it's self explanatory as it should then cut to a button pressing scene.

My team is called New Avengers and the original members were Captain America, Ms.Marvel, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman. Since then, I've recruited Human Torch, Black Panther, Iceman and Daredevil

This part is false and a common misconception. You do NOT have to keep the same team in order to keep the team bonus. How it works is at least 3 members from your team must be active in order for you to retain the team bonus. You can put someone in reserve and switch out as much as you want, as long as you still have 3 team members active. For example, my team, New Avengers, consist of Cap A, Spidey, Spiderwoman and Ms. Marvel. As long as I have 3 of them active, I can use anyone else I want. If I only use 2 or 1, then the team wont be recognized, and you can see that bc your team icon will disappear and you wont get any bonuses

The ONLY way that your team reputation goes down is if you actually replace someone in your roster and thats done by going to the team menu and selecting a new character in place of someone on your roster. Going back to my team example, if I want to permanently replace Spiderwoman, then I would do it this way. I dont see why anyone would want to bc losing the 50 reputation points isnt worth it.
