This game works in a history where...
Strengths: Nice graphics, reasonably smart AI, gets more interesting as a squad-based shooter, amazing sound, enjoyable storyline
Weakness: No Xbox Live for multiplayer, seems a little short
This game works in a history where the US has been invaded by the Soviet Union and you work as a freedom fighter, trying to liberate the US from their control. Think "Red Dawn" in a videogame. There's some funny bits as the game goes along, so the humor value is nice. The graphics are quite good and nice to look at, with some great sound to back it up. Starts out as a third-person shooter, on...

Red Dawn
Strengths: Above average graphics. Great audio. Multiplayer!!!
Weakness: Very difficult. Clunky controls
Freedom Fighters is a run-n-gun third person shooter from the makers of the Hitman series. The game in a nutshell is Red Dawn set in New York. The graphics are pretty much flawless as is the audio. One problem I had with the game is that the control setup is wacky, especially in the Xbox version. There is also the matter of difficulty. Even on the easiest difficult setting, the game is a real...

Freedom!
Strengths: Easy to pick up. Squad action for beginners. 720 res is awesome.
Weakness: AI can be dumb at times. Linear as a ruler.

You progress from spot to spot gaining new teammates as you go. Missions are pretty straightforward and mostly linear but thats not too bad. Your guys take directions well but can get themselves killed by doing very stupid things at times. All in all a very...

Freedom Fighters
Strengths: Nice graphics, good sound, team combat system
Weakness: Control setup seems a little strange and can be really touchy, should have implemented a co-op mode

Electronic Arts Freedom Fighters...
Strengths: Story and sound, Artifical Intelligence
Weakness: No online play, Length of game, Multi-Player
Electronic Arts Freedom Fighters for the Xbox is an enjoyable action game. Set in a "Red Dawn" type of scenario whereby the Russians won the Cold War, you lead a recruit and command squad into battle. This 3rd person shooter has a nice array of weapons to aid your team in the revolution. The game has a very patriotic feeling to it (if you're American anyway) that will get you cheering as the game...
