About the game
They took your freedom. It's time to take it back!
Freedom Fighters is an intense third-person action game set in an alternate history New York during the invasion of a foreign superpower. Take on the role of Chris Stone, a hard-working plumber, and rise through the ranks of the resistance to prove yourself as a charismatic leader.
Liberate supplies, scavenge weapons and use the 'recruit and command' system to grow the resistance and lead up to 12 freedom fighters into strategic conflicts throughout the campaign. Travel across the city and complete interconnected missions where your actions in one level affect the battles in another.
Originally released in 2003, IO Interactive's cult classic is now available digitally in its original form for the first time.
About the soundtrack
The Freedom Fighters Soundtrack features 18 tracks that are produced by acclaimed music composer Jesper Kyd. Combining live choir performances by the Hungarian Radio Choir with techno beats and other electronic instruments, Kyd effortlessly captures the vibe of the game and the epic quest to liberate New York from a foreign superpower.
Originally released in 2003. Music composed and produced by Jesper Kyd. Performed by Jesper Kyd and the Hungarian Radio Choir.
IO interactive music has always sounds like divine intervention, just wonderful, no different here. The combat starts slows but quickens after the first level. Just look over your shoulder and above for the occasional sniper, it's pretty fair for a third-person shooter.
The game is great, but sadly, it suffers from the same problem old games often suffer: horrendous stability. It's one of those games which never worked properly for me. I've played it throughout the years on multiple systems, since the first week it was released. The GOG version, sadly, doesn't make any difference.
Saving is no fix. The save system during missions is useless. You can "save", but it doesn't do anything. It doesn't record your progress, it literally has no use. This is infuriating, since missions can often be very long. When taking things slow on a longer stage, a mission can very easily last 1 hour.
If you buy this game, at least play it ASAP, so you can get a refund if it doesn't work. It's a shame, because it's a good game, but the stability is a crapshoot.
