A history that almost almost happened

I remember this. The trailer still sends the coldest and most damp shivers up my spine. It makes my heart turn into the heaviest lead, and then plunge into the abyss, but before it can disappear forever, the arm of an angel reaches down and catches it, and sends it up to the sky again. It actually feels like the sensation of riding an incredibly wild roller coaster that is so wild, that you can't imagine how the engineers approved its construction. The soundtrack is incredible. The story actually makes you care. The ending had me in tears, and I wanted to keep on saving the world, but the game just ends at this point where I wish it didn't. The game made you feel like your team was really with you, and fought along side you. I almost can't believe EA had anything to do with it. Different times. This game made me feel completely helpless and doomed, like this is it. this is the end. and then suddenly, it let me fight my way back out to victory. It gave me back hope and let me try to save the world. Suddenly, I had the ability to make a difference and save all my buddies, and it was absolutely breath taking. For the time it came out, solid 10/10. gameplay has aged, but everything else is TIMELESS. Listen IO Interactive. You're independent now right? No more EA? No more Square Enix? Well listen up men and women of IO Interactive, WE NEED A SEQUEL. WE NEED IT REALLY REALLY BAD! I will only buy the sequel if it has NO DRM, NO Devnouvo anti cheat, NO EAC (easy anti cheat) and basically NO EA and NO Square Enix. Just don't put anything unnecessary in the sequel, PLEASE. I really really want it. I NEEEEEEEEEEEED IT. This is your time to SHINE! I am not making any business or legal advice or suggestions. I am not a professional legal or business person. I'm just a random person who loves video games. Make the sequel, or don't. Your risk, your choice, do your own research. But hey, if you do make it, and it looks really really good, chances are I'm gonna buy that.incredible

Thank you for bringing it back!

I remember I got this game one day at a gamestop when they still sold PC games in the jewel cases like music albums used to come in. I played this game like 3 times or so back in the day, and now that computers don't really have optical drives anymore, I can't use my old copy. Even if I had an optical drive, the original pc version was made for windows xp. Last time I played it, I had to run it in a virtual machine, and it was really annoying. I'm really happy to have an updated copy that I can use easily. It's a great game with a compelling story, and it's just plain fun to play. Thanks again for getting this available again.

A competent, colourless squad shooter

The most interesting thing to me about Freedom Fighters, a mid-2000's shooter on the XBox is that it's extremely demonstrative of the time it was made and the platform it was released on. There were a lot of shooters on the XBox released around this time that look and play like this- it's a genre that's not seen quite as commonly nowadays, squad mechanics having been almost entirely supplanted with co-op in modern games. Also, it's about in the middle in terms of enjoyment; it's competently made, but nothing special. The game is set during an alternate timeline with a Soviet invasion of the USA, with you playing the leader of a resistance movement in NYC operating from the sewers. The story is slightly above the minimum, enough to drive the game forward but otherwise largely forgettable. The game itself is... fine. It's squad mechanics are simple and intuitive, and the AI is responsive and reliable. It's key feature is multiple missions objectives that impact the environment- destroy a power line, and sneaking past the floodlights is easier, destroy the helipad so gunships don't harass you and so on. The minute-to-minute gameplay is very simple, and quickly gets repetitive- this is a game to play in bursts. There a few rough edges, particularly with the camera and aiming, and like every shooter in the mid-2000's, it has stealth sections and no one likes them. If you had an XBox in 2003, you've played this game. Not this one exactly, but Brute Force, Conflict Desert Storm, Armed & Dangerous, Rogue Trooper- Freedom Fighters slots right into the middle of that list. It's not especially interesting on it's own in 2020, but if you didn't have an XBox and wonder what that era of games was like, this is about as representative as it gets.

Perfect

An absolute gem from the PS2 era. Played a lot with my brother (glory days ;-) ), and is pure nostalgia. It did age well tho, the controllers on PC are much better then the dualshock, more precise. Ah, and it can run on a Windows 7 by the way, that's good, because i hate Win10.

Excellence...

Smooth as butter, hard as iron... A smooth game, with excellent gameplay and controller. Lack of controller or gamepad is not that bad when the customization is this good. Graphics are okish, for a 20 year old game... Recommended...
