This is really not what you're looking for, but you may enjoy it anyway, and it's free. Toribash is a turn based, free-form fighting game where you create your own moves.
that one's pretty close to PoP, yeah. you either love it or hate it, i actually liked it :D i don't think 'free-form combat' is exactly what you're looking for though, yeah. something like Die By the Sword is what i'd call free-form..

Yeah the fighting in Assassins Creed is great.. bit shallow though but still different. And you do it over and over again A LOT.. so you'll have to really really like it.

It does get old after a while, but it's a good system, and is a fun game. I would go with AC.
That's what I would like to know. When I think of the PoP games, I can't recall anything different with its combat compared to other combat or fighting games that make's it more free-form.

Right. Same thing with Assassin's Creed. I thought the combat was fun, but it was just a standard combat system. I think there was only one button to strike & one to block. Hitting the attack button a few times would result in combos or something. My memory sucks...I barely remember that game anymore and I enjoyed it a lot.
If by free form you mean not turn-based, the gaming market is full of games with a free combat system (even World of Warcraft can be under this category). However if by "free form" you mean NO TARGETING like in GTA and Assassin's Creed........then I think you'll be interested in games like Ninja Gaiden.

Yeah! That one slipped my mind. I would definitely recommend AC, but be prepared for some repetitive gameplay. A good portion of it was fun though, like running around climbing buildings, and the combat system is awesome. I think I enjoyed the free-roaming part more than anything else. It doesnt necessarily mean it's a bad thing but I thought I'd mention that. :P
