Freedom Force vs the Third Reich review

If you have played Freedom Force, then you already you know what to expect from this game. The sequel uses the same engine, but with enhancements to improve the game play. It's fun, but the way the game is structured makes the game feels a little short. Probably because you're having fun.

Also, excellent comic book ending.

Super heroes that fight Nazis? And you question why this is good? FFvsTR is a hack-slash RTS-RPG with game play and controls you'd expect from said type of games. Much like the first game the best thing in the game is the dialog and voice acting, some of the best and worst lines you'll ever hear. The story is a stereotypical comic style story where we must beat the bad evil Nazis, any fan of classic comic books will know what this means. All and all, if you liked the first one, you'll like this one.

Great action/RPG gameplay, graphics are obviously a bit dated at this point, but very fitting to the comic book feel. Definitely worth the price, good bit of re-playability here

It does not change a lot of the elements from the original game, but it does make quite some improvements. Mostly importantly, now there's a mini map. Since the formular hasn't changed, it still capture all the charms from the first game, and now is even more friendly to player.

What a fun action RPG! After getting bored senseless with the console X-men action RPG's, I was hesitant to give this game a shot. But I used my Blue Coins to get this game free and am 100% happy with the choice. Graphics are a bit dated at this point, but still look awesome, especially the comic book artwork. Has a great soundtrack along with a cheesy comic book story that actually made the game that much more fun. I highly recommend this!

You know there are some news that make your day a good day. WHen I saw freedom force with a discount price I was pleased. When I discovered that there was a sequel I was more than happy.

Like the first one I think it's a marvelous game if you're into comic books.

From what I played until now, this game is a bomb.

Making fun of stereotypes, of comics and, in a way, of itself, I liked the mood as the first one.

You can still create a heroe...well not having that would have been a downfall.

I finished the first game some years ago and well this one is even better !

From what it seems the solo campaign is very short but well I'll just play the first one again after.

This is the kind of game with a special feeling to it, you'll either love it or hate it... personnally my choice is clear

Definitely one of the classics.

If you like comic books and high level of customization, this game is definitely worth it. What's more the price is very affordable and the graphics are easy on the eyes.

As for compatibility, the game is excellent. Anything from Windows 98 (maybe even earlier versions) to Windows 7 will run the game.

simply put one of the best games ever made, team based super hero rpg and an excellent follow up to freedom force.. my only warning with the game is that after extended play throughs you end up talking like the narrator

Freedom Force vs The Third Reich takes comic books and super heroes back to the Golden Age of Comics with excellent results. The plot ties directly into the previous game, while proving gamers with every entertainment mediums favourite bad guy, Nazi's. Comic books and super heroes never had it so good in gaming, especially on the PC.

Mechanically the game has received improvements where necessary, which is to say not too much. Camera is a little more responsive; controls a bit more straight forward; graphics improved, but still retain the over the top look and feel of a comic book (and the sound is just as over the top). The team is also expanded to accommodate the new time period, and the new characters are ripe with satire and chuckles.

Fans of the first should be able to jump into things no problem, and players new to the franchise are led into the fray gently, with the difficulty increasing at a moderate pace. The only real let is that the character creator is again somewhat limited in it's capabilities, but can still provide satisfying results if you're willing to work with it.

This is good continuation from the original Freedom force squad based RPG. In fact if you loved the 1st part, you aren't going to get disappointed with this one, only new improved graphics and content await you.

In case you are not familiar with this franchise, it goes like this: In this 4 memeber squad RPG, you can edit/add superpowers of your existing or totally new characters when you gain xp by completing objectives in missions... In the end you can have things like towering hulk blasting houses in one hit as your hero... All in all very creative and fun game!!

A great RPG, whereby you control several super heroes with a wide variety of special powers and abilities. Plus the comical effect of the game is very entertaining, making the game both fun to watch and play. I highly recommend this to those looking for an excellent RPG.

A very good super hero game.

You take charge of a squad of super heroes, moving through a campaign doing various objectives and using your super powers to take down foes.

The graphics on this game are alright, despite the fact that this game is fairly old. The game comes with a battle mode, where you can choose superheroes to battle eachother on different maps, and can even do this multiplayer.

This game is alright and will give you hours of fun, but I wouldn't look to it as a game I'll come back to very often, it's still good times.

It's very difficult for me to fairly review this game. The gameplay it's self is incredibly enjoyable, and I can happily suggest it based purely on that.

BUT.

There are a fair few niggling little things that frustrated me to a fair degree while playing. Some I could bypass quickly, such as the inhumane accents of every character, which could be avoided with the mute button.

But the story itself (which I understand was meant to be cliched) tries to do the "so bad it's good" kind of thing. And it works...too well. It goes all around the spectrum and ends up bad again. The cliches are humerous in their own, but when they thrown at you every five seconds...it gets annoying.

If you have no problem with a few annoyances, this is a very enjoyable and hilarious gamre, and I reccomend it.

You cant go wrong for under $5. Great humor, plays like a comic book reads. Will provide you with several hours of entertainment for your dollar.

It is a true gem for 5 bucks. Storyline is good with a surprised ending (FF is similar with Justice League or Marvel Alliances). Gameplay is divided to 2 parts: base and mission. In base, you can train heroes, recruit new ones. And in mission - main part, you can use mouse only, easy to control and play. Game has many many cutscenes. Every hero has a story (before he or she become a FF member).

Game is quite easy and long, I love this because I am sick about games which are very hard (save, load game is very often). But this game is singleplayer only because multi is dead.

Graphics and sounds are good, like comics.

At last, recommended for everyone.

A tactical RPG with character. If you missed the first opus, you should definitely get one of these. The game sadly didn't get the success it deserved (well, it work quite ok, but many didn't hear of it in the first place, and some others were put off by the theme).

The combat plays a bit like Baldur's Gate, where you issue commands in real time, with the ability to pause the game whenever you wish. The game itself is a succession of linked missions, between wish you can assign your characters' XPs.

The narration itself is quite good, in a parodic retro sense, with a 3rd person narrator using an over emphatic tone.

There are not that many good tactical RPGs these days, since Jagged Alliance and Xcom series ended. If you like the genre, or miss the old Infinity engine combats, you should definitely give this game a try, especially at this price.

Oldies but Goldies..... I played the prequel FF quite a lot and somehow missed the next episode, but now for this price its a real bargain. If only the Champions Online MMorg had got a tiny bit of the feel and charm of FF, i would have loved it. Of course its optic and stuff is dated but its fun.

Freedom Force vs The Third Reich is a very entertaining game.

If you want a serious game, look elsewhere, but if you want a light hearted, fun, over the top cliched superhero game, you want this game.

It takes many genre conventions for superhero stories, and plays with them a bit, creating an entertaining feel to the game.

The actual gameplay side is quite well done. It is a good tactical RPG, with you choosing (with restrictions) some superheroes to go on a mission, setting out to the mission, beating up the bad guys, and then (hopefully) returning triumphant.

Freedom Force vs the Third Reich review

By lowyhong posted 16th August 2010

It's been years since I last played the first Freedom Force. Nostalgia keeps reminding me that it's one of the best games to have graced the PC, so for fairness sake, I shall skip the comparison between this and the first Freedom Force, and just head straight to the pros and cons.

The story takes place after the events from Freedom Force. This time, the Freedom Force members find themselves against a twisted Third Reich, whose parties are headed by twisted leaders. There's nothing very special about the storyline, apart from it being retro and campy. The story is half presented in game-rendered cutscenes, and half presented in the form of comics and visual art, but it's well-done; so, despite the lack of CG, it's rather entertaining to watch.

It's quite a standard fare RPG/RTS game - if you've played them party-based RPGs of yonder ol' days, you'll roughly know what to expect. There's a Pause function which can help you manage your team better. The interface hasn't aged well though, and is rudimentary at best, but it works well enough. Just expect to do a lot of pausing to micro-manage your team.

The humour in the game is spot-on. As mentioned, the story is campy, and so are the heroes. How can one not like Green Genie's ability to change enemies into a vase of flower, or Bullet's flirting with Tricolour? The superhero powers and everything else are well-preserved, and added on, from the first Freedom Force (ok, I know I said that I would not mention comparisons), totaling quite a hefty number of animations and special effects.

Speaking of which, you can actually create your own heroes, be it using in-game meshes or fanmade ones - which are spread all over the Internet - and then take them out into the Rumble Room to test their mettle. It's good fun in that once you're done with the main campaign, you will still end up spending hours mucking around with your custom superheroes.

Freedom Force vs The Third Reich - I wholeheartedly recommend it. You just have to get used to the clunky interface.

BTW if you've bought it, be sure to download the FFX mod. Google also yields quite a lot of results for custom skins and meshes.
