Greetings Gamers and Smart Phone Users,
How the hell are ya? I came across an app last night on my Kindle Fire HD tablet that blew me away. The game is called Batman & the Flash: Hero Run. When I found out it was available June 17, I was ticked that I didn’t find the game sooner. So, I decided to write this little review to let the world know of its existence. I am sure a lot of you may have already heard of it, but I am going to tell you about it just the same, LoL.
Before, I give you my opinion on the game, let me show you exactly what the Google Play store says about it.

Now that you know the general description of the game, let me tell you what you don’t know. The game kicks ass! I mean it is totally addictive. I am one of those people who tried to get into Temple Run and Minion Rush but just couldn’t do it. I am, however, addicted to this version of a “run” game. I mean, you got two members of the Justice League and you are in battle with their arch-nemesis.
You start the game off in Gotham as the Dark Knight taking on the Joker and his killer clowns. There are a lot of obstacles to overcome as well as some of the baddest bad guys you could imagine, all lead by the Joker. Eventually, you earn the right to play as the Flash. When you are the Flash, I must warn you that he runs faster than the Batman. Duh, right? That makes it harder to time his jumps and slides. Once you get the timing down, you are just golden. When you are the Flash, you are battling Gorilla Grodd and his Gorilla army.
Another bonus of this game is the fact that you can eventually play as different characters such as Catwoman, the Joker, Gorilla Grodd, three different versions of Batman and the Flash, including the Black Flash or as I like to call him, Quick Death. I know I just started playing this game but I give it a strong rating of 8 out of 10. My only complaint is the cost of some of the items in the store including the character cards. But, if you have enough patience and skill, you will eventually earn what you need to get the items you desire.
