Awesome. There's like no other word for it. When I got this game I bought it by geting World of Ea Games pack. I thought that this was going to be like any other shooter game. IT"S NOT!! The story line is very well writen, and the graphics are great! Now it's hard for me to really get into a game , but this was great I would play until 11 o'clock at night. Also the name of the character is the same as mine so it felt like they were really talking to me. The reds had no chance against me and the rest of new york. I'm not saying the game is easy, but you can change the diffuculty level. I heard from another review that they are making a Freedom Fighters 2 which is great because the game ends with your player talking about how "They'll be back with bigger guns and more troops." And now you know they will. Anyway its really cool how you can recrute new freedom fighters and comand them. This game feels so real. I mean it feels like its a real war. There's no monsters or aliens its just YOU and a couple of men ( or women) against the whole Soviet Army. I remeber in one level I got the explosives I needed, I broke out the Prizoners of war and had them at the sewers, but then out of a window I saw a freedom fighter that I hadn't recruted was injured, and I couldnt bring myself to leave him there so I went out and helped him back. I felt kinda good after I did that. Even thought its only a game, but like I said I was so into this game it felt like I was Christopher Stone and I had a duty to rescue him. Thats why this game is so great. It captivates you so you froget its only a game and start to think "wow this feels so real!" Thats why I tip my hat to you Ea Games and lo-Interactive you made a Absoluty Unbeliveable Great game.

The game puts you in the shoes of a plumber-turned-resistance fighter (not Super Mario) when Russia invades New York.
Freedom Fighters boasts one of the most impressive third-person control schemes I've used. The mouse fluidly controls both your view of the action and your aim, with an optional close-in over-the-shoulder perspective for precision aiming.
You've presented with a series of interconnected missions, which give you a wide degree of flexibility in how you attack them. You navigate through the mission areas via the New-York sewer system, with various manhole access points strewn throughout each level, and doubling as your save points.
Raise your charisma score by completing secondary missions and healing wounded civilians along the way, and you will earn the right to lead up to 12 freedom fighters into battle. You can order your squadmates to attack, defend and fall back, and they'll follow your commands with destructive abandon.
Unfortunately, the game suffers from a lack of variety overall. Most of the missions are very similar, the standard array of weapons gets a bit dull, and there is a shortage of epic encounters. In addition, experienced players will probably blast through the entire game in 10 hours or less and will find little reason to replay it.
Highs: Detailed environments, good pyrotechnics, smart controls, open-ended mission structure.
Lows: Not enough mission variety, AI teammates bunch up too often, story lose steam at the end.
