Freedom Fighters is a surprise hit of the fall. Freedom Fighters is one of the best games I own, and one of the most interesting. The concept of the game sounds pretty stupid, but it is actually probably the best concept a game could have. The whole idea of the game is the Soviet Union won the Cold War and now in the year 2001 the Soviets take over New York. You play as a character named Christopher Stone. He is a normal New Yorker making a living as a plumber. One day on the job all hell breaks loose when the Commies suddenly appear in NY and start taking over. As the game progresses, Chris goes from a standard blue-collar worker to leader of the resistance known as Freedom Fighters. FF combines a lot of good ideas in one game. The game is a mixture of action, stealth, turn-based strategy, and a little bit of problem solving. In order to continue in the game, you have to complete missions and errands for the resistance, like blowing up Soviet buildings, freeing prisoners, transporting supplies, and rescuing other freedom fighters. Fear not though, because you will have help. Almost any freedom fighter can be recruited to follow you; all you have to do is walk up to them and hit X. In order to recruit more people, your Charisma points have to be up. What that means is you have to do good deeds to get more fighters; you can have up to 12. You can order your recruits to do almost anything, like defend an area, follow you, or attack a certain enemy. The Multiplayer for FF is pretty good but it isn't the best. Throughout the game you will be able to use a fairly good variety of weapons like a pistol, a shotgun, an Assault rifle, a sniper rifle, and the resistance loving Molotov cocktail. The graphics for FF are very good, especially the environment. The controls for FF are easy to learn and don't give you any problem. Freedom Fighters does have a small number of flaws though. One, the camera angle can get you screwed when you are in close quarters, Two, why does it take 10 assault rifle shots to kill the enemy, and why does it tend to take 2 shots in the head to kill them? Three, the game can get fairly hard and occasionally will get you frustrated. In the end, though, Freedom Fighters is a great game, and no true PS2 gamer should miss out on this game.

Good Game but a little to hard

I got this game yesterday and its really great. The controls are great and the game is action packed. There really is only one flaw, its to hard. Im playing it on rebel difficulty, just to get used to the controls and everything, and i dont think i could handle any harder. This is the hardest game i've ever played. But sometimes difficulty is a good thing. At least i wont beat it in about two days like most of my other games. So even though this is a hard game, go out and buy it, you'll have fun.

Much needed game to revive PS2 fun factor

This game simply kicks ass. The story is very deep and captivating leaving much drive to play. Unlike some other games, it wasn't hard to learn and the story unfolds quickly to get you right into the action. The enemies are also harder to kill which I think is a plus. Instead of just breezing right through the levels you actually have to work to beat them. Every part of this game rocks. I definitely hope there is a sequel to this awesome game.

One of the Most Addictive Games on PS2

First i have to indicate that i haven't played the Full game yet , i have only played the Demo and have read many official and non official reviews for this game .

The story is about the Alter story of our Recent History , the Russians have bombed their first Nuke Bomb on berlin at 1945 and won the war , and not only this but all Europe has become their Property , and now the US is the only country that is still not under the Control of the Communies .

You play as Chris Stone , an ordinary guy who works as a plumber , one day he is fixing some Customer's shower and then the invasion begins , you are instantly trhown into the living hell of modern day Manhattan with only some Plumber's tools and you are required to make your own path , after that you are trying to form the first cell of the resistance against the Russians , you wander through the city and try to recruit the ordinary citizens of the city to join your resistance group , but the task is hard at first , but as the game continues and with every mission you complete and with every operation you succeed you gain extra points of Charisma which helps you to recruit more and more fighters , in order to liberate the city from the Russians .

The gameplay is extrelmly fluid and easy , the past complications of the same genre games (Advenature/Strategy)is something out of the past , with a very easy contolable movements , the game becomes very easy to control which is something very great for this kind of games , the only control problem here is the Inventory Control which is very hard and can make you exposed to the fire during the battles while you are trying to switch the weapon .

Freedom Fighters is a very welcomed addition to the world of Gaming , and very very Addictive game which is impossible to put down , and shamely it hasn't got the Reception it deserves in the US , it really deserves more attention and more sales .

Oh my!!!

Have you ever waited for that perfect game to just come to you. Well if that perfect game hasn't come yet go out and buy Freedom Fighters. These days it just seems like EA Games is just pumpin out one winner after another. The multiplayer capabilities are enought to buy this game for. The gameplay is intense and difficult, and the AI is very intelligent. The tracers and your team members all around you in the fight for freedom is just an unbeleivable gaming experience. I also own Conflict Desert Storm, and I must say Freedom Fighters comes out on top, with a SOCCOM US Navy Seals coming into a close second place. Everything about this game I love. Your team is just awsome and sometimes a necessity when joining the fight against those dirty "commys". O yes one last thing, EA THANK YOU!! I'm sorry I must be getting back to my PS2 now, I am having withdraws.

This game is pretty good

This game has dated graphics and gameplay is mediocre, but it is still an extremely fun game. The controls are top-notch and the mulitplayer MODE is addictive

A PERFECT GEM

It's seems that nowadays some games are made sloppy or just plain rushed to meet the deadline. Thank god for such talented developers like lo interactive. as you can see they've made a fanstactic job with hitman 2, and now freedom fighters. This game is hard, and i mean hard. but, well worth spending $50 to kick to commie ass right in the comfort of your living room. This game is so well balanced with action, stealth, alternate routes, graphics and sound. The "squad based" gimmick kinda scared me a little bit, due to some other games with the same gimmick, that were very unresponsive. after a few levels(and a few charisma level up's) I started sending my troops out to defend the north and scoutings troops to the west. MY GOD!!!!! this "recruit and command" system actually works, works very well. after seing how my troops responded to my commands. I figured out, this is not a one man army!. You'll need to recruit members and use them to your advantage. This game has everything for the hard core war gamer. Only have one problem. I, like other gamers out there, like my games realistic. This games has no blood, in my opinion, the only draw back. Aside from my little issue, this game kicks serious ass, I'm just hoping lo interactive makes a sequel to this gem.

TOTALLY COOL!

I was very skeptical about this game when i first saw the screenshots for it, and didn't know if it would be any good. I also noticed the teen rating and wondering if it carried enough violence to be a good shooting game. But after reading several reviews i forced myself to fork-over the $5.00 and rent the damn thing. When i first put it in, it looked so-so but as i learned the controls, and other things about it, i really started to enjoy it. You can only carry one major weapon, and one pistol at a time, along with health, grenades, molotov cocktails, binoculars, a wrench(your character is a plumber) and some C4. And your mission is to defend New York city from the Soviet invasion (really good story line.) And you do "good deeds" and earn morality points which you then use to recruit other rebels so that they will follow you and listen to your commands. One you get going and find a good gun and get about 4 or 5 rebels to follow you around, the game really takes off. Anybody looking for a challenging yet extrememly fun and interesting game should rent or even buy this game.

This is a classic, must-own for the PS2.

This one is a dark horse surprise. I had not heard much about this game until the day it came out and received some impressive ratings. So I picked it up on a whim, and I cannot put it down.

The controls take a little while to get used to, much like GTA, but once you do its fine. The graphics are ok, not great. But the game is fun enough to overtake that. It is very difficult in spots, although a different strategy or route is usually available to avoid the difficult areas. Course, I usually don't figure that out until I've spent an hour trying to make it through an area. The story has a nice mix of corniness and dark ambience. It like the cut-scene crew wasn't really in tune with the gameplay developers.

My one knock on the team control is that it is very difficult to assign any one particular team member to one location. Because they all carry different guns, sometimes you want the guy with the AK to guard a spot. That is difficult to do. However, it never was much of a problem.

The team interaction is nearly flawless. Sometimes the A.I. is too aggressive and team members will run out and get shot up before you are ready to attack, but overall it is well done. That's good because your team does the vast majority of the fighting late in the game.

The only bad thing is I find myself AT WORK thinking about this game or planning strategies to move past a level or obstacle. Not good for concentration.
