Freedom Force ‘Create a Comic’ Contest

The full press release:

Create a comic and win €4,000 worth of fantastic prizes with Digital Jesters & Focus Home Interactive

We all have our favourite comic characters, but have you ever tried creating one? Publisher Digital Jesters is giving the nation’s gamers a chance to create their very own comic and win some fantastic prizes at the same time.

In anticipation of the release of Freedom Force Vs The Third Reich in April, Digital Jesters & Focus Home Interactive are asking fans to devise their very own comic strips and win some amazing prizes at the same time. What do you have to do? Simply take your favourite Freedom Force character, or even your own hero, and create a comic strip. If drawing isn’t your thing fear not, as comic strips can be created with photos of your friends to make a photo story. You can add speech bubbles to devise the plot. Take a look at characters in the game for inspiration by going to www.freedomforcegame.com

The follow up to 2002’s critically acclaimed game sees Minute Man and his heroic Freedom Force fighting to save the day against a horde of new villains hellbent on world domination. This fast-paced tactical roleplay game takes players on a journey to the golden age of comics on a computer screen.

Entrants must ensure that each page of their strip is no bigger than 3MB, that it is all in jpg format, and that characters used must be either Freedom Force characters or their own individual creations.

Competitions will be split into three categories: Comic Art, Objects, and People. Winners will be picked from each category and be given a top of the range graphics card worth €400 as well as a copy of Freedom Force vs The Third Reich upon release. The winner will also bags a selection of games from Digital Jesters and Irrational Games alongside their graphics card. Runners up in each category will win a copy of Freedom Force vs The Third Reich, and a selection of DJ and Irrational’s games.
