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.
