Marvel vs. DC: the games

Which superhero game is right for you? Marvel Ultimate Alliance or Justice League Heroes? Look no further

Words: Raymond Padilla, GamesRadar US

Are you a comic-book fanboy and a hardcore videogamer?

Did you mark out when Zatanna chanted, "Namtab Pots!" before she wiped Batman's memory?

Do you wish Zatanna erased the woeful Spider-Man clone saga from your memory?

Have you ever screamed, "Hulk Smash!!!" while breaking down some cardboard boxes?

If you've answered yes to any - or all - of these questions, then this is a great time to be you, because there are two superhero action RPGs vying for your time and dollars.

In one corner you have Snowblind Studios' Justice League Heroes, featuring DC stalwarts like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, along with Zatanna, Martian Manhunter and more. In the other corner is Raven Soft's Marvel Ultimate Alliance, packing iconic heroes Captain America, Spider-Man and the Silver Surfer, as well as Dr. Strange, Ms. Marvel and Blade.

Both games are takes on the same genre and both games have a lot going for them. But which one is right for you? Well we let the heroes duke it out, blow by blow, covering every facet of the game. Will Marvel's mightiest come out on top? Or will it be DC's legendary heroes? Read on to find out which superhero videogame wins!
