I hear this game can be great. However, the developers have all but stopped supporting it. Go read the technical forum at myfreedomforce.com. The latest NVIDIA drivers arent compatible with the game. I can't get the game to work for more than a minute at a time. There are dozens of others like me, and the tech support people are ignoring all pleas for help.

I completely wasted my money on this title. Don't waste yours.

Don't buy this game if you're running Windows XP service pack 2.
It doesn't run, and the developer apparently has no plans to fix it.

If you have Windows XP with Service Pack 2, this game will not work on your computer. In August, the makers had promised to make a patch when they had time. It is now February.

Just a quick note to say I bought this game yesterday and today I find out it is not compatable with Windows XP SP2.
There is supposed to be a patch being worked on but it is three months since this was first mentioned.
I would recommend NOT buying this game if you have Windows XP SP2 - as its only useful as a drinks coaster unless a patch is made

Truly [bad] game

This is the worst game I ever seen in my life, really bad. Boring and stupid with terrible AI, terrible gameplay, no story, no strategy, nothing.

A Great Concept, but Beware the Bugs....

I desperately wanted to love this game, but having spent 2 weekends trying to get it running on a 1 GHz Pentium III with a SoundBlaster Live! and an nVidia GeForce2 64 MB videocard, I managed to play all of one mission before getting booted to the desktop.

Let me save other users with similar hardware the trouble: save your money and see if a patch hits the Freedom Force website in June, as promised.

From reading the tech support message board on the Freedom Force website, I can assure you that I am not alone in my travails. Any game which launches with over 1000 posts in their tech support forum is simply not worth the time and effort, I'm sorry to say.

Perhaps when the Gold Edition arrives, I'll try again.

Whatever happened to the art of game design?

After being burnt on game after game- Morrowind- Black and White- Civ 3- all highly-touted games that failed to deliver even the slightest degree of gameply enjoyment, I decided to stick my neck out and purchase Freedom force- "what the hey?" I thought- "The law of averages will eventually yield up a decent game, and I've heard good reviews..."

Needless to say- Burned again!

Freedom force is an abysmal little game- a horrendous, cumbersome interface that makes gameplay confusing and erratic. Enemies that can run off the edge of the map and attack you at a distance- yet cannot be attacked. Your "Heroes" might as well be named "Idiot man and Stupid boy", as they will stand idly around at let themselves be attacked and shot at, and not defend themselves. Graphic glitches out the wazoo. You have to click on an enemy sometimes as many as four times before your hero will attack...

Seriously- I've been playing video and computer games for 18 years- ever since the first "Ultima" game came out for the apple 2- and I have never seen such an onslaught of inferior products being foisted into the market...

What has happened to the art of game design? Because from what I can tell, it has died.

Upsetting

This game really upset me. I was looking forward to playing it and the game had some stupid qlitch in it that made it unable to start once I installed it. BUYER BEWARE! I could not find help for the problem and so I sold the game. I also read other reviews that the game is good but no real multiplayer, unless you like only one on one battles and no real replayability, I would wait for something better that you can play again and again and it be a new adventure every time. P.S.- Star Wars Galaxies RPG online- check out the reviews! its not superhero but its better than that... super space heros online.

a truly terrible game...
