Let me elaborate. In the Golden Age, what we comic fans call the 40s, nearly every superhero was either in the war, or protecting the homefront from spies and saboteurs. It's a big superhero setting. Oh, but how come Superman didn't just stop Hitler right away, you ask? Well, DC Comics changed the past (called retconning) to say that Hitler had the Spear of Destiny (the one that pierced Jesus' side, and yes the same one from the Wolfenstein 3D sequel) and used it to keep superheroes at bay. In the Marvel Universe, the heroes that were about then interfered. Hell, Captain America punched Hitler in the face. Anyway, Freedom Force was quite a game. It was fun to play, funny as hell, and a great tribute to the Silver Age, or 60s. Hell, the box art (inside the flap, the one that shows all the characters) is a tribute to Jack "The King" Kirby's art. You could tell Irrational loved superheroes as much as say, I do. In addition, it is heavily moddable. It was great playing the melee mode as Superman, the Martian Manhunter, Starman or Spider-Man, for example. Also, this site: Alex's Freedom Fortress offers a Justice League of America mod. I'm looking forward to Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich. |

It is extremely far from 93%, I would go more around 80%... But like I said and been mentioned earlier, for 7 bucks you just can't complain! Especially since it's the second successfull SuperHeroes game after that online game, I think it is named "City of Heroes"... And it's only multiplayer.

So far I played only 5 missions, but unless some incredible and really hidden engine wonders appear in the next missions you can bet I will most likely lower my appreciation instead of raising it...
Ever played Baldur's Gate? Well take that and make the characters SuperHeroes instead, and you have Freedom Force. At least the story is entertaining even if it's slightly cheesy since taken from an old UK (or American) comic. |

The Point of the game are the superheroes & evolving them...
How much you have now? exactly, merely four... Baldur´s gates? Played, liked etc etc... But they belong to a totally different genre /- And you just began the game, so try to make a superhero of a level one thief from baldur & tell me if you succeed... /- |
