    As a whole, I found DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power extremely enjoyable. I’d argue it to be fun for anyone who picks it up as it’s definitely something I haven’t got around to putting down yet. If you’re looking for something bursting with personality and something to enjoy for hours, this is definitely a game for you.

    DC Super Hero Girls is a very solid kids game. Nothing is new or revolutionary, but the game feels incredibly well put together. The story is enjoyable, the voice acting is exceptional, and the world feels fleshed out. With so many recognizable heroes and villains in a high school setting, it's hard not to enjoy some time with this happy slice of the DC Universe.

    DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power successfully translates the beloved animated TV show into the video game space. While the game might feel a bit fluffy for adults, playing with kids is a blast. With reasonably well-done combat and a ton of side activities, Teen Power is a meatier (and more fun) experience than one might assume—an absolute win for a licensed game.

    Be a superhero girl and save Metropolis. DC Superhero Girls: Teen Power is a typical action adventure, which was surprisingly fun to play. Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl and her friends need to face a new threat: Robots and evil toys. The storyline is quite close to the original series on Netflix, same as the artstyle of the characters. The music of the the game is neither bad, nor good, quite average background music. The cutscenes in comparison are really lovely, all voiced over and with cute animations. The biggest surprise was, how different it feels to play each superhero or supervillain. Each character really has her own playstyle. Sadly we also have some critics: since mostly younger kids will play this game, why do we need an ingame social media called “Supersta”, where you need a certain amount of followers and likes to unluck some of the sidequests? The game would have had enough content without it. Instead they could have programmed a local multiplayer, so the parents could help on difficult missions, some of them are quite tricky. Especially the fly ability feels a bit clunky and hard to steer. Overall DC Superhero Girls: Teen Power can be recommended to all DC fans and fans of the Netflix series. If your kid wants to play it and your kid is still quite young, we recommend to play the game with him or her, since some missions are quite hard and it could be frustrating otherwise.

    DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power succeeds in not feeling like a simple cash-grab. Much like its source material, it has genuine heart, plenty of activities to take part in, and a cast of characters who are simply adorable. Some of its more social open-world gameplay may feel a touch slapdash, but its colourful and explosive action more than makes up for it by being a blast of addictive and easy-to-grasp fun.

    Not so super
    DC Super Hero Girls: Teen power is a 6 and a half hour long mission based beat em up game where you can play as 6 different characters, Super girl, Wonder woman, and batgirl from the hero side, Harley Quinn, Cat Woman, and Star Saphhire
    Youll unlock these characters as yopu progress htrough the game, as the heros and villians team up to take on the toys terrorizing the town.. In a way I was getting persona vibes here.. you can run around the 3 different mini locations as any of the girls in their civilian form any time youd like, go shopping, get smoothies..take pictures of stuff around town to get likes on social media you know… stuff teen girls do
    or just stick to the mission, beat up some toys, defend buildings as you rebuild the town, complete hallenges to level up your characters.. coins to once again buy new outfits.. all of this on paper sounds great.. but dc super hero girls is ultimately a really empty and repetitive game.. combat and controls especially for the flying characters and catwoman feel loose rather than tight and controlled, making them just awkward to play as or complete their character focused missions, and combat in general aside from when you finally unlock star sapphire just isn’t fun… each charcter feels unique and you can unlock new moves for the girls to use, but enemies feel so spongy, that the combat never feels satisfying, and actually starts to get annoying toward the end… as enemies just get more and more annoying to deal with.. and mission wise, back to the repetitiveness… it all feels rinse and repeat, go to this location, defet enmeies or defend a building.. that’s the entire game.. going back to the same locations, rarely anything new… making the 6 hours or so game length feel just right.. it doesn’t over stay its welcome… it leaves right when it feels like it needs to…
    Furthermore if you havnt seenthe tv show, don’t expect a coherent tory and world building.. it doesn’t exist here.. the game expects you to know the charatcers and their relationships.. this feels very much like a tv show tie in and not its own standalone thing for the female dc heroes and villians…
    I didn’t refret my time spent with this game, but its not one I can recommend to those not buying soley on the face they want a game based on a show they love.

    Despite this Game's Mediocere Story as well as its Debut Showing, Even saying this is a First Party Nintendo Title makes me get shivers. I canDespite this Game's Mediocere Story as well as its Debut Showing, Even saying this is a First Party Nintendo Title makes me get shivers. I can also admid when i am wrong. This game has that typical Nintendo Charm even though it wasnt made by Nintendo. The Graphics are that of the source material and the music is also half decent. The way you aquire stars for powering up is based on how good you do in combat.There were a decent amount of side quests and having the Supersta can be a useful al be it a boring way to take stupid pictures of you and the world. The followers mechanic needed for some sidequests is very interesting. The combat is in my opinion is just like a B-. Only a 4 hit combo and some unlockable moves, but the Just Roll is a good way of keeping your combo so you get more stars and money. The Controls are fine although there is a big delay when jumping as the Girls outside of Costume. This game surprised me and has forced me to give it the nickname: Persona Jr.… Full Review »

    A surprisingly fun game that I can confidently recommend DC fans, parents of preteen girls and open-minded gamers looking for a fun littleA surprisingly fun game that I can confidently recommend DC fans, parents of preteen girls and open-minded gamers looking for a fun little experience.

    Combat is basic but serviceable. Each girl's basic combo is well-animated to create a satisfying, crunchy button mashing experience, and they are supplemented by a simple but rewarding dodge-counterattack mechanic that keeps you on your toes. Top this off with the implementation of character-unique abilities like grapnel guns, batarangs, the Lasso of Truth, the power of flight, Frost Breath and Laser Vision and you've got the foundations of a fun DC action game.

    On top of this is the girls daily lives traversing an overworld which has you talking to every NPC for quests and searching every nook and cranny for collectathon stuff that yield rewards. Both are very well implemented and make the other half of this game fun. The collectathons are hidden well and a particular joy to hunt for. Topping it all off is a city management system which certainly is a city management system, and a social media platform which certainly is a social media platform.

    Overall, the game is fun, the writing is fine and I'd say this piece of media has no right beings as good as it is. I'm awarding extra points to this game for allowing us the opportunity to play as Diana Prince and Kara Zor-El. Not a lot of videogames manage to afford us this liberty and be a fun game at the same time. Give us Zatanna DLC, you cowards.    … Full Review »
