When I heard about this game, I just shrugged it aside and thought "Oh no, not another port!" But I was sorely mistakened, because even Freedom Fighters on the PC is worth checking out. Although the graphics aren't up to par with other games during the time, the gameplay more than makes up for drawbacks. It's intense with a ton of fire fights throughout the streets of New York, from a warehouse yard and highschool to more broad levels such as a secluded island. They're all packed with chances to pick up charisma, ultimatly expanding your platoon of freedom fighters. This helps to add to the war feeling, as you and your squad battle it out in hopes of running out the Russian lock down. The story is really interesting and orignal, creaking an immersive and captivating series of objectives which have to be completed. Objectives such as destroying a helipad or larger scale missions such as taking back a set of warehouses from Soviet hold keep the game going.
The controls are suprising slick for a mouse and keyboard, almost making it feel as if this game should have been on PC soley. Squad control is also easy and simple to manage, letting you bark commands to further advance. The AI isn't that bad either, taking cover and attempting to get afew rounds in.
Though this review is relatively short, please don't dismiss this game. It's full of suprisingly fun elements which ultimatly turn it into a fine PC third person shooter. Hell, I wouldn't even call it a port, it was so good. If you've played this previously on another system, you won't be missing much. But if you haven't played it, go out and give it a try.
