First YOUNG JUSTICE: LEGACY Video Game Trailer Does Not Impress…

By on Monday, May 27th, 2013

When it was announced that Young Justice was getting a video game, named Young Justice: Legacy, I thought that was cool news. The show was awesome, so a game should be almost as good. And then when I heard that the video game was canon to the television series, would take place between seasons 1 and 2, and would be written by two of the show’s writers (Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti) I was stoked. And the game’s developer, Little Orbit, even mentioned that if this game sells well, a sequel could be possible. And the voice cast from the show would reprise their roles to boot!

And then the first trailer for Legacy was released.

Yeah, its really bad. The animation is not impressive at all. The game will be playable on the PlayStation 3, and yet it resembles a PlayStation 2 game. What makes this worse is that the game was delayed, and we all figured that the reason was for the animation to get polished. Meanwhile, the gameplay looks generic, and the trailer’s narration is dull and monotone.

For me, the grating fact about this is, the game does not seem like it will sell well at all. And no sales=no sequel. And since the show is gone, a game sequel could have been our last hope to wrap up all the show’s loose ends!

Young Justice: Legacy will be released for the Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows on September 10. The game features over 10 playable characters, at least four DLC characters, and over 10 villains.

    A+ for Misha Collins narrating the trailer

    The trailer may not impress, but for everyone hoping for the series to return to Cartoon Network should strongly consider buying the game to boost sales of the merchandise so DC an CN would take notice and consider reviving the franchise. Everyone is upset that the show got canceled, but are you willing to do what it takes to make a change. It is just like voting, your voice and actions is what set the pace for the outcome. No matter what DC and CN says, they should understand that this is the entertainment business, and it is the people that keeps them in business. So I ask everyone reading this post, even if you had no plans of buying this game, I ask that you do so anymay for a good chance at bringing back such an awesome and instant classic animation series.
