The truly unique premise with exciting gameplay makes way for One of the Most Thrilling and Remarkable Action Game Ever.
STORY - Freedom Fighters follows the story of Christopher Stone in an alternate reality where the Cold War never ended and the Soviets are at Power.The US is invaded by the Soviets.
Chistopher is a part of a group of rebellions better known as Freedom Fighters who are enraged by this Soviet invasion.
However this wont be an Easy task as there are many obstacles for them.
The game does a marvelous job of maintaining the illusion of a Soviet-run USA.
The Posters , The News and the well crafted cutscenes add to the already fantastic Plot of the game.
However there are a few points missing but these are overshadowed by the quality and density of Freedom Fighters.
GAMEPLAY - Gameplay in Freedom Fighters is pretty well done.The Fighters have to proceed through a number of levels which consists of several objectives.However You will have to complete each of these in order to advance further in the game.
Unlike Other Action Games, Freedom Fighters has a Charisma Level which in turn determines how many fighters can you recruit.
The Battles are never fought alone and thats the reason we can control upto 12 Freedom Fighters.This goes a long way to help you in your missions as the enemy A.I is impressive.
Also what makes Freedom Fighter different from other action games is your command over your squad mates.This is done in an efficient manner which leaves the player fully satisfied.
Although your squad A.I is also good ,the few Bugs and Glitches will come in way of their efficiency.
The Controls are better than most shooters and the difference in difficulty shows.
The Saving Points are well balanced (Not Unlimited).Thus maintaining the challenge in the game
The Bad thing is that the Game is very short.Gameplay is not more than 8 hours and Camera can get on your nerves.
Overall the gameplay is great and thus makes for a thrilling action game.
GRAPHICS - Thinking about the premise of the game the Graphics are impressive.Its not great though.
However the Outdoor and Indoor environments are pretty good.
The variety in level design is a plus point.
Even at high settings the game runs smoothly on a Not-So-good PC.
And there was hardly any time when i wasnt happy with the visuals.
The graphics are good enough to make the game playable.
SOUND - The Voice Acting in Freedom Fighters is decently done.The battle sounds are also good with different automatic weapon sounds and various types of explosions. Soviets talk in their native language which adds to realism in the game.Also your squad's funny one liners will put a smile on your tensed up face.
The Musical score is Outstanding.The Orchestral soundtracks played during intense fight sequence add to the thrilling ride.
GOOD - Easy Controls , Good Plot , Excellent Background score, Squad based Tactics , Challenging.
BAD - Too Short , Bad Camera Angles , A Few Bugs and Glithces.
All in All , Freedom Fighters is a game which gets better and better the more you play it.The challenge keeps on increasing from mission to mission and so are your skills.Thus maintaining the balance.
Freedom Fighter is an outstanding blend of pure action and squad based combat which leaves any fan of the genre highly satisfied.
Although the game lacks length ,it makes up for its brilliant quality.
