Story: Darkseid attacks the planet Earth, destroying a military base in the process. A member of the Justice League (that the player chooses to play as) tracks down the other members for information and aid only be to attacked by those heroes in their related locations. As the hero defeats the other JL members, they deduce that the others aren't the real leaguers. Coming to this conclusion, the hero battles Cheetah and then Despero for more information. They both lead the hero to Darkseid, who then forces the hero to fight their android clone. Upon defeating the clone, the hero must face Darkseid himself. After the hero defeats him, the other League members are freed, and the military base is restored.
General: Justice League: Task Force is a 2D fightiing game featuring characters from DC Comics' Justice League. Task Force aspired to ride the coattails of the Street Fighter's and Mortal Kombat's, but fell short in terms of gameplay and graphics just like the rest of the "me too" fighting games in the early-mid 90's.

Not only are the graphics bland and borderline horrible (even for a game in 1995), the gameplay is clunky and unresponsive. Character special moves and priority attacks lack "oomph" and namely, animation. In fact, if the award for "worst 2D fighting game animation" was being given out, Justice League: Task Force would be a convincing nominee. The sound effects and music aren't too bad however, but in no way save this game from being a complete failure of a fighting game. The character roster is smaller than most fighting games, and is rather uninspiring.

Closing Comment: If anyone could tell a "wannabe 2D fighting game" in 1995, I could. And I would feel sorry for any child who got this game as a birthday or Christmas present back then, and would feel even sorrier for any person who used their own money to purchase this game. Slapping Batman and Superman on the cover of a game works wonders I bet... Those poor poor kids... ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
