Pros: Original concept, immersive story Cons: Lack of mini-map, can be difficult to keep track of everything going on
Superhero games, traditionally, have been few and far between. In general, despite the fact that there’s a ton of untapped potential, there’s never really been a good original game that really been able to exploit that potential. The closest that...
"When it comes to PC games, the niche is a hard one to satisfy all gamers. The game is refreshingly light, yet fully satisfying. Those looking to fulfill that RPG-RTS itch; should look no further..."
Pros: It's a superhero game that got shipped! Cons: Way, way too easy to break the game.
A few months ago, I came across an article in a gaming magazine about the MMORPG called City of Heroes. (http://www.cityofheroes.com) I was excited because this looked like it be pretty cool, and the fact that the guys were the development out of...
Pros: Highly polished game that does a lot of things well... Cons: ...but doesn't do anything especially well.
Let me know if you’ve ever encountered this situation. You hear about this new thing that’s underway. Its not done yet, so you don’t really form an opinion on it. But you note a few interesting details and file it away in your head. As time goes on,...
Pros: The second superhero game ever released! Cons: Bizarre bugs, penalties for collateral damage
Once upon a time, there were a bunch of ordinary people living on a hunk of rock called Earth. Oblivious to the greater powers out there, they continued to live out their very ordinary lives. Little did they know that they were next on an...
Pros: Original concept, dynamic environments, flexible character management Cons: Odd save game file system
Comic book heroes coming to the PC have had a rough road to travel. Several projects have been planned and canceled for an anticipated “lack of audience”. Perhaps designers felt they lacked a flexible environment in which to place such heroes....
Pros: A fun take on the comic book genre Cons: Not fully immersive 3D
FREEDOM FORCE is a comic book role playing game put out by Electronic Arts.
This genre has come a long, long way since the old 2D days of SUPERHERO LEAGUE OF HOBOKEN! That game, which was fun for its time, but very strictly a flat game with...
Pros: Great story, tons of stuff to do Cons: Camera system could be better
For years game publishers have been trying to create a good game based off the world of comic books. Sadly they have almost always failed. Every attempt to bring characters like Batman and Superman to a video game have ended in disaster, and the final ...
Pros: Interesting Characters and Story Cons: Linear story line, poor controls, miserable interface, and the characters are dim-wits
Freedom Force is a superhero role playing game that I really want to like but, it always becomes an exercise in frustration rather than any entertainment. While playing, you witness the "Mysterious Origins" of the heros and, if you're comic collector, ...
Pros: Refreshingly original, fast-paced, addictive gameplay. Cons: Dumb AI, a bit easy at to win.
Although there are many competent titles put out every year for the PC, it is rare to find a truly original game that combines humor, action, and strategy in a single title. Freedom Force manages to do all three very well, and its presentation and...
Pros: The best superhero game available, Generate your own heros, Top notch gameplay and graphics Cons: Multiplayer game a bit dodgy
There have been many superhero games produced in the past, but very few have been exceptional, or even memorable. The majority of games from this genre that have been produced can be found on the consoles and are invariably platform games.
Pros: superheroes, RTS elements, interactivity of the surroundings, good controls, loads of silly fun! Cons: perhaps too retro (60s), silly suits and dialogue, mediocre graphics
As you'd probably know if you've read any of my other reviews, I'm a car simulation nut - but I also enjoy my real-time strategy (most recently Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds), and role playing games (not much recently). I've been looking for a good...
Pros: Very unique comic-book setting, usability of most depicted objects as weapons or projectiles, fun. Cons: Graphics slightly simple compared typical RPG games (albeit quite fittingly for a comicbook).
Freedom Force's comicbook appearance might put off some diehard computer RPG gamers, but most RPGers (comic-loving or not) would likely find the game worth the look. The protagonist characters are all 60s-style comicbook superheroes (none you'd ...
Pros: The best Superhero RPG system to date Cons: Lack of gaming options limit fun
Every few years a game comes around and changes the industry. With the likes of Arcanum and the upcoming Neverwinter Nights, gaming is hitting another high point with the result being the creation of ground breaking "they shoulda done that years ago"...
Pros: Easy to learn interface, throwback cutscenes, cheesy golden age dialouge Cons: no skirmish mode! rather short campaign(10 or less hrs)
From the opening cutscene of Freedom force it seems as though a time warp had occurred. I had expected something along the lines of "Spiderman" or other twitchfest sub-par "pop" superhero game. Instead, I was treated to a wonderfuly cheesy announcer...
