It takes a little bit of time to remember the different combinations to perform actions. It's not super hard but the tutorial on how to do things feels like an hour. :lol
I bought Assassin's Creed and Freedom Force today. I'm gonna play AC first then start on Freedom Force.

Here are the random Marvel and DC skins I found. Also, a few generic bases and custom power effects. It's all mixed together so you'll have to dig a little, but it's a small file (24.6mb) so it might be worth having around. They were all made I believe for FF, so I don't recall if that means they work for 3rd Reich. They may need to be converted, there is a converter mod at the last fan site I linked to earlier.

It's a bit frustrating at times. I'm not sure how much I enjoy the controls, but I really dig the comedic comic book style cutscenes and satirically patriotic theme.
Does the second game improve the interface? If so, I might just skip to that. I don't know if I can handle 33 levels of the first game :lol
I'm definately planning to turn it down from Normal to Easy. Sometimes it's better to finish and experience a game on easy, than to be frustrated and never finish on Normal.

Man, the writing in Freedom Force is a little painful for me. I realize it's intended as an homage to its source material, but as someone who never really read superhero comics, it's so cheesy as to be somewhat off-putting. I think part of the problem might be that so many video games have very uninspired writing even when it's not deliberate that doing it intentionally isn't really as effective as it might be in another medium.

I loved it for that when I first played through back when it came out, now yeah, it's kinda... :lol
Still love it though, that's why I picked it up as I have no idea where my discs are. Such a great deal as well.
Since everyone keeps confusing it for Freedom Fighters, that's another I picked up for $3-4 on sale a few years back. That'd be a cool game, a lot of GAF probably missed, to put on Steam for a low price. (Wouldn't mind a sequel to that instead of Kane and Lynch.)

I agree, Freedom Fighters is awesome. I highly recommend it.benjipwns said:
Back when Ninja Gaiden came out and everyone was going nuts about it, I picked it up even though it's not really my kind of game. As it turned out, it wasn't my kind of game and I mainly thought it was boring, plus my copy was actually bugged or something and it froze in the second level. As a result, I was able to return it to GameStop for the full purchase price, and with that money I bought both Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Freedom Fighters, both of which were not selling super well so they were each discounted.
I didn't know anything about Freedom Fighters other than I had vaguely heard it was good. That return and subsequent pair of purchases ended up being one of the most amazingly fortuitous gaming transactions I've had in my entire life, as The Sands of Time is now one of my favorite games ever, and Freedom Fighters was probably one of my favorite games of the year and still a title that never got the recognition I felt it deserved.

It's one of those games that you could say fails on all the individual metrics (graphics, controls, etc.) that most people rate things and focus on but comes together greatly as a whole. On PC a lot of those issues go away (with higher resolution, higher graphics, wasd+mouse if one prefers that, although it controls fine on Xbox (where i first played it) at least) so I think it would find some fans today.Chris Remo said:
I especially love how doing certain missions will change how you take on a bunch of others. (To non-spoil an early one for anyone reading, you take out snipers in order to attack a building, or can blow up something to prevent helicopters attacking you in another mission.)
I like Ninja Gaiden a lot, but you made out like a bandit with Sands of Time and Freedom Fighters in that trade.
Yeah, it's there, nobody is playing it though. Maybe this Steam release can add some games so I can at least try it. (Had dial-up when it first came out so never tried multiplayer.)Sinatar said:

I played those at about the same time too. That whole period left me in a rosy state with the Xbox that I'm not sure I've felt this gen on console again. Those two were complete gems.
Freedom Fighters love going on in here?
Fuck yeah, that game was epic.
Music was fantastic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuTHf5lj_sA

Whatever you do, don't touch the PC port with a ten foot pole. That shit's worse than the Mercs 2 port. Amazing game on the console, though.

That's horrible what you just did there. Never thought I'd have to suffer a Sonic photo in here.
A few additional kinds of pieces (one you can swap with others, one you can click to change the entire row and column to that color, perhaps more as I don't remember what exactly the JP flash demo included), an adventure mode that adds items, characters, boards that are weighted towards certain features, and time/score attacking into the mix, more completion goals beyond "clear X number of color Y", and of course vastly more boards to go through in general.
Still much the same game, but bigger and better and a bit shinier all around. And it's ten bucks, and there's a demo anyway.

Man, Freedom Force is still my favorite super hero game. No disrespect to the really good modern ones. I had a stack of 70's Marvel comics that someone gave me as a kid and that probably plays a part. Still great fun to play.
