Freedom Fighters for the X Box is a cool game. The overall concept is well done and interesting. The game play is easy to pick up and figure out.

Graphics: Not the best, but they are pretty good.
Control: Easy.
Fun Factor: Could play it over and over again.

Overall: The game is fun and easy to control; however, the game itself is way to easy. It is perfect for new gamers.

I like to think of Freedom Fighters and Red Dawn as the same, unother words I like to think that while New York City is being invaded, the same things are happening in that small town from the movie Red Dawn, as I like to think that the video game and the movie are 100% linked in every way. It's interesting really that it shows you fighting in the wilderness, then in the city. i realy hope they make Freedom Fighters into a movie!

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?

great game

i picked this game up because my friend said he rented it and it was good. i bought it for only 19.99 and this game was impressive. it was fun the entire game and i never got tired of playing it. great graphics great story line and non stop action. i highly recommend getting this game espicially if you like military type games because its like walking in the shoes of iraqis cause you get to see what it would be like being an american and having your country occupied by a foriegn country. 5 stars

Beautifully simple

This game has alot of fun elements. Both the single player and multiplayer I enjoyed.

Graphics: The graphics are good. They border on cell-shading.

Sound: Again, it's good. The people will say some funny things to you like "I'm not your huckleberry" when you try to recruit them without enough spots on your squad.

Camera View: 3rd person. It's easy to move around with it, no complaints.

Weapons: On multiplayers the soviets get grenades, pistol, and an ak-47; Americans get rebel weapons like molotov cocktails, pistol, and a shotgun. Other guns you get are a rocket launcher, sniper rifle, gun turrets, and flamethrower.

Single Player: I have always liked movies like 'Red Dawn' that dealt with the Soviets invading us and I was pretty satisfied with the plot. Not much strategy is needed on the levels on easy but on higher difficulties you do. The cut scenes are interesting.

Multiplayer: Some people who reviewed this game didn't think much of the multiplayer, but I really enjoyed it. Some flaws are that there are only three levels, taking over bunkers doesn't always work right, and three player multiplayer is always a lopsided fight no matter who is fighting.

the AI in this game is amazing. the men/women you recruit not only follow your orders, they are also highly intuitive- for example, they wont only stay in the area you send them, they will find cover, the will duck during heavy enemy fire, and will search out and destroy all enemies within a perimeter.
F.F.'s is so much more tactical than i thought it would be. i love sending out three of my team to one area and another three soldiers to another- it's just so COOL!
it took me a very long time to purchase this game. i pretty much figured that i'd just stay happy with lo interactive's (is it lo or io???) hitman series and not push my luck with some of their side projects- well 'luck' had it that i recently saw this game for $15 and said, "why not?" suffice it to say that i'm really surprised, and will now ALWAYS purchase games that lo interactive puts out.
the reason i'm not giving my overall score a five is because i have yet to play the multiplayer and judging by other people's reviews, it's not that great. although- the single player ROCKS far more than i ever thought possible so...
...i highly recommend this must-have title!!!!!!

Multiplayer is fun but needs improvement

The single player game is great and others have summed it up well.

In both the single and multiplayer modes, there are only two options for control setup. The only difference between the two is how you use the joysticks - a major difference but it would have been nice to customize the controls any way you want. I can't understand why games these days don't have a free-edit mode for control setup.

The multiplayer is great fun. Action/strategy like this is a rare find. But it has some drawbacks. You can only choose from three maps. All three are excellent and give a good variety but I'd really like to see some kind of map editor or at least a set-up mode for variety. I've never really missed having a deathmatch mode since this game is all about conquest of territory. But it seems like it would be an easy addition so why not? One of the biggest glaring weaknesses of the multiplayer mode is that there is no handicapping system. This is especially true when you only have three players available! Two player games are fun, four player games are awesome, but three player games are just annoying since there are only two sides (Americans, Soviets) and no options for handicapping. One player against two will get slaughtered because there is no option to have one of your recruits grab the flag! There is no option to have a computer teammate, either (1p & 2p versus 3p & CPU). Likewise, there is no option to play multiplayer alone against the computer or have three players against the computer. Or how about just adding a third (and even fourth) country option for the multiplayer mode? All of those options would have made the game fun for an uneven number of players and more fun overall.

Still, I highly recommend the game. I can only hope they will make some changes in multiplayer for Freedom Fighters 2.

Great Game!

This game is very fun. I like it so much! Here's some more detail about it:

Graphics: 5 out of 5

The graphics are simply amazing. Character models look great, the weather effects are great, the explosions and bullet impacts look spectacular. This is one pretty game.

Sound: 5 out of 5

The sound is wonderful! The voice acting is great, the explosion sounds are great, the guns sound spectacular, and the russians speak with a real accent. (And I think the real language, but i don't speak russian)

Gameplay: 5 out of 5

You recruit guys and fight a guerrilla war through the streets of New York. It is very fun. You can recruit from 1 to 12 guys depending on how many charisma circles you have. You get those by filling up your charisma bar. You fill up your charsima bar by completing objectives, destroying targets, and healing civilians. You can also heal fellow freedom fighters and get them to fight for you. You can even heal wounded-and-left-for-dead russians and they will fight for you! The battles are also spectacular and intense. You have 2 to 5 levels in a mission (bureau of NYC) and there are about 9 or so missions (bureaus including governor's island). You can do the bureau levels in any order. What you do in one mission affects the next. For example, if you do the harbor before the fire station, there will be no enemy attack helecopter to kill you because you destroyed the helipad in the harbor. However, if you do the fire station first, there will be one. There are also sewage wells throughout the levels (about 4), so you can go to a different level before completing it.

Lengthetivity: 5 out of 5

This is a challenging game. However, all four difficulty levels are easy except the fourth. The fourth is semi-hard, but it is not impossible. This has a good lengthetivity. It is fun, so you'll play this for a long time.

Multiplayer: 4 out of 5

Very fun, however there are two drawbacks: 1)There are only three levels and 2)There is only one game mode. The mode is take over the flag. You get bunkers for your army and go take over the flag. You could also make this mode into your creative modes, such as kill the other player, take over the bunkers, or big battle (you don't have to play by the rules of the game mode). This is extremely fun to play with friends or family, but don't buy this game for multiplayer alone. (the single player is great, too.)

Average: 5 out of 5
