Justice League Task Force (Genesis)
Published by Acclaim Entertainment in 1995
Genre: Fighting
Ryona Rating: 3/5
NOTE: This game was also released on the Super Nintendo system. However, both games look and play differently, and as such, this article will focus solely on the Genesis version.
Description:
Justice League Task Force is a fighting game release for both the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo. In an era where fighting games like Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat reigned supreme, this title was just another "me too" title to cash in on the craze. Its hook is the ability to play as iconic DC Comics superheroes such as Superman, Batman, and The Flash, among others. However, this version of the title is fairly mediocre, with a poor story mode premise, somewhat stiff controls and limited animations, although the sprites themselves look colorful and clean. The game has also been criticized for featuring relatively unknown villains such as Darkseid and Despero over more well-known possibilities such as The Joker and Lex Luthor.

Ryona:
- There are two playable female characters out of nine characters total.
- Characters have several different weapons and projectiles, including tridents, batarangs, lasers, throwing knives, energy blasts, and tornadoes, among others.
- Each character has two different throws. One can be performed by simply pressing Forward and any Medium or High attack buttons while adjacent to the opponent. The second can only be performed by pressing Forward and High Punch while adjacent to an opponent who is dazed. Notable throws in the game include backbreakers, belly punches, lasso throws, aerial splashes, and mounted slashes, among others. Some throws will cause the screen to shake, adding a certain impact to them.
- Green Arrow has the ability to shoot ice arrows, which freeze the opponent in place, and fire arrows, which knock down the opponent while also changing their sprite color to make it appear that they are burning.
- Superman has the ability to freeze opponents with his ice breath.
Female Characters:
- Wonder Woman is an Amazon from Themyscira who has superhuman strength, agility, and endurance. She wields a lasso that forces her foes to tell the truth, a tiara that doubles as a projectile, and wears indestructible bracelets that can deflect attacks. She is clad in her iconic costume, which includes a bikini bottom, knee-high boots, and a strapless top that reveals her cleavage openly.
- Cheetah is a long-time foe of Wonder Woman who has the abilities and physical appearance of her animal counterpart, including enhanced agility and sharp claws. She is depicted wearing no clothes whatsoever, with only her fur to compensate.
