Freedom Force Forever!
-Freedom Force is Irrational Entertainment's love letter to early Marvel Comics, a corny, high-energy quip-filled adventure with larger than life heroes and colourful villains. It is also one of my favourite all-time games. The gameplay is real-time strategy with a team of four heroes, each with powers and abilities that make them effective against some enemies and all-but-useless against others. Choosing a proper team to respond to a specific mission is an important initial part of the strategy. If you're fighting on top of a skyscraper high up in the clouds, maybe don't pick one of the teen sidekicks who fly so far when they get hit. If you're duking it out against lumbering bulletproof robots, electricity will get you farther than brute force. If your bare fists aren't getting the job done, maybe pick up a car and lob it at your foe? Whenever the chaos of battle becomes too much a quick pause allows you to gather your wits, issue new orders and shift tactics. -And of course, no review would be complete without a mention of the huge community of fans who created so much material that can be added to the game. These include Mods (whole new adventures and settings with their own narratives), Meshes (3d animated figures that can serve as new heroes in the game), Skins (painted 'costumes' for a Mesh), special effects packs that add to weapons and powers you can add, modding tutorials, danger rooms, fan updates that add new abilities like transforming/replacing characters (great for Transformers meshes!) and so much more! Sites like Alex's Freedom Fortress, Tommyboy Meshes, Freedom Reborn, Catman/Sick Alice and Heroforce provide enormous variety of material, helpful tips and links to Yahoo caches with loads of work from Freedom Force pioneers like Grenadier, DaGlob, Courtnall6, Beyonder and KennX. The support for this title (and its sequel) is absolutely amazing. -Freedom Force Forever!
