funny, my amazone account recommended it, and I kept ignoring it.
I saw it at Toys R Us (...), and picked it up. I must mention I bought Red dead Revolver too(which I was really excited about). My friend and I ended up not putting this game down, and never touching Red Dead. It is the ultimate Red Dawn video game experience. The graphics are good, the music is really good, and the gameplay is just all around fun. I live in brooklyn, so the fact that it takes place there is even more amusing. Although we don't have a problem with Russians here.
Anyways, do yourself a favor. Get it. It's my new favorite game on the xbox as of now.

One of the most underated games of all time

Just about everything that freedom fighters does in does right. From the exciting story to the suberb gameplay and some of the best music to ever grace a game. First of all Freedom Fighters is underated and underappriciated. It didn't sell that well and that it a terrible shame because this is a game that should be experianced by all. I mean your hooked from the start and it just gets better and better. First of all the squad controls are excellant and easy to use no matter how many soldiers you have and eventually you'll have 12 soldiers under your command. Your squadmates are very intelligent, along with the enemy soldiers, exhibit some of the most impressive a.i. seen in game. The 3rd person shooting is handled well and the aiming system does take getting used to but eventually becomes simple enough. The graphics are very solid and the environments are all suberb and varied throughout the game. The character models are solid and the included ragdoll physics are again some of the best to grace a videogame. The weapon selection is a little lacking but not to big an issue. The music is absolutely suberb and always manages to keep you entralled in the game. From start to finish Freedom Fighters is a blast and easily one to keep playing. There is a multiplayer but it has only one mode that is fun but there simly needed to be more modes to play with. It sucks that it got low sales and that hurts the chances for a much needed sequel. But if ever a game deserved a sequel Freedom Fighters would be it. So if you have not played freedom fighters, do yourself a favor go pick it up, you won't regret, and hell it only costs like 10$ so what have you got to lose?

THIS GAME IS SO UNAPRESHIATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I played this game a while back and I speak for everyone when I say after playing for as long as you wish you will get up and say what time is it, you've probably been playing for at least 4 hours. the crisp graphics are amazing for the time when it came out and even now. the gameplay is perfect and everything about it is awsome from the awsome gameplay to the great story this is a must play. if you dont you are a different breed of man because this is one of the simplist and funnist games ive ever played!!!!!!!!!!

It took me about 3 days to finish this game on the highest difficulty. I since traded it in. There is little challenge to it. If your looking for a descent rental, this is it. If you like the movie "Red Dawn", you will enjoy this because it is nearly a complete ripoff of it.

+good control and easy team commands
+par graphics and sound for Xbox
+great for a younger gamer
+cool locations

-somewhat weak and very unoriginal plot
-too short and too easy
-Good but VERY repetitive soundtrack
-no special ending on hardest difficulty

I've grown to like this game!

I bought this game and first played it on the easiet difficulty setting. I beat it in around 3 hours. I was a little dissapointed, thinking I had wasted my money. Then I switched to a a harder setting and then the game became a whole lot more fun. The only major complaint is you have to use your "health kits" manually. I think that if you automatically reload your gun, you can heal yourself too. The sound track (done by the same guy who does the music for the Hitman series) is really good too. What GTA vice city is to Scarface, this game is to the movie Red Dawn. Another $20 winner. I just wish it was longer.
I'd go for it. I also recommend "XIII", and "Hitman contracts".

Great fun!

Awsome game! you get a chance to command your troops into battle, and the game has lots of action in it too! The multiplayer is really REALLY cool, you get to command either Soviet, or American. Capturing the flag is fun. But thats the only thing you do, or. At least the only mode you can play. Awsome game though. I strongly suggest buying it for Xbox so you can play four player.

HITMAN 2 is better

I loved Hitman 2 with the multiple routes on each level and you can go in guns blazing or use stealth. About 2 years later when Hitman 2 came out Freedom fighters came out(simular to Conflict Desert Storm). When playing the game there's not alot of originality. You can't control your team mates like in Conflict Desert Storm.

At the start of the game you are plumbing in New York and the Soviet Union come to take over New York. You armed with a Pistal run out of a building and shoot 3 Soviets when they get of a helecopter and thats been done before in a game. You then go running through the streets and there's a sense of great atmosphere with smoke and helicopters bombing the streets. You dash to a building to an injured soldier. This is new because when you sacrifice one of your medikits to a fellow citizen you get a thing called charizma.

Charizma is where you get respect and trust from soldiers on your side. The more Charizma points the more recruits you get on your side. When you get enough points to get one person helping you and you get one circle. When your hours through the game you'll eventually get 12 circles(12 recruits).

When you rescue your friend you'll go through a basic tortual. You get told how to jump, climb, go into first person view and shoot exsploding barells to catch onto enemies and to use medikits. Most of this has been done before but the game is great at its job.

When you select a fighter you can by accident pick someone with a pistal and not with a machinegun and the guy will then be useless. Another thing is that you by accident can use friendly fire against your recrutes. Couldn't both sides be a totally different colour so you don't get mixed up. A good thing is that enemy AI and your recruits are very intelligent. If you order your recruit to go charge at the enemy they will run to a great cover point and use it so they won't get shot(AI is better than Conflict Desert Storm)and they put their back against the wall Metal Gear Solid style and then shoot at the enemies.

A big problem is where you have 3 levels to choose from and one of the levals is important to go on first. On a firestation level there is a flying helicopter that guns you down and it's not a good idea to go on that level first. The game should of made it clear that you should go on an other level to find some C4 and plant it next to the parked helipad to blow it so it doesn't rip you to pieces on the Fire Station level. On your second go of the game you will obviously forgive the game.

There's nothing worse than you running with your group confidently with your team and then a Soviet using a gun turret puts your life away for good buy shooting you down. There could of at least be more save points plotted around the big maps because it's annoying to restart each level again . When your team mate gets badly injured it can be hard to find where he is so that you can heal him to work for you again. A useful thing is that when you push back it shows the map with red dots to show where your mate is who's been put out of action.

The game can be great fun at times because the controls are as simple as it can get. You push R Trigger to fire, Left Trigger to jump or climb, Black button to crouch(this can be frustrating because when your trying to stand up by pushing the button again you die because it takes you a while to reach for the button).
White Button Melee(use butt of riffle to kill enemy), (A) is to recruit soldier or yourself to interact, (B)tell recruits to guard area, (Y)to tell soldiers to attack enemies in front, (X)command soldiers to follow yourself, Left analogue stick to move your own character and you can also click in the right analogue stick to change weapons or medikits. You push back to get a map of the level showing you where the manholes are for the sewers and that's where you can save.

The game is fun with you ambushing a group of soviets with your helpers close behind. If you have 6 recruits you can order 1 recruit to use a gun turret and another to guard the guy, you can use 2 other men to charge at the Soviets and the remaining 2 guarding yourself and thats whats best about the game(team work).

This game is very Cinematic with better music than Medal of Honour Rising Sun. You can shoot cars that exsplode and then it kills enemys. You also have Frag Grenades and Molotovs at your desposol and the bad thing is it can be hard to kill your enemy with a frag grenade on your first go because they just get back up after flying across the room.

This game is great to buy for a teamed based shooter but my advice is to rent it to see if its annoying for you, but it's lacking in originality. Don't bother buying the 2 Conflict Desert Storms because there both too simular. When you buy one of the Conflict Desert Storm this is worthy to your collection.

Freedom Fighters

I thought the game was very entertaining and interested... if you do not like action based games than more then likely you will not like this game... but if you like james bond kind of games than I think you should get this game.

Worst game ever
