Yep. Superheroes got canned. On the other hand, Freedom Force is great. It's funny and although some of the levels are just tedious, it's a very good game, especially in the way that you can create your own powers.
A sequel is coming out next year, and is set in WW2 and (much like comics from that era) contains the heroes winning the war against the Germans. |

That's far from being a superheroes game Prejudice, in fact it sounds just like another stupid FPS... :not_ok:

Nope, it's not an FPS, you have to build your superheros, giving them different powers and weaknesses, the better a superhero the more prestige you need to get them on your team, you gain prestige by saving people, completing missions and defeating enemies. In the game you control your team in real time (with lots of pauses, like Baldurs Gate or something) and tell them to use their powers against the enemies.

Why the WW2 theme then? If anything else, a Superheroes game should be set in a fantasy theme, not into an historic war...

I just noticed Freedom Force in my local Wallmart... At first I was seriously unimpressed by the demo, but then again when the game is 6,97$ you can hardly argue! I just bought it.

Eagle: Give us a verdict after you've played it a while, I'm seriously thinking of tracking it down.

An early judgement would lead me to give 3.5 on 5 on FF right now.
It's interesting, but nothing new here and it sure doesn't bring the SuperHeroes genre to a high. I still have some options to explore tough, I only finished the first 2 missions and the first mission was in the demo. |
