Freedom Force Review

GamePro has posted a review of Freedom Force, giving the game an overall score of 4.5/5. Their final paragraphs to follow:

Freedom Force suffers only from a handful of faults. For one, selecting characters to give them commands is difficult, as is targeting enemies. Also, while the game’s in-game cinemas are nice, there’s no real (acting) going on; the characters just stand there as the dialogue appears at the top of the screen. Lastly, if you’re not someone with an appreciation of the often-silly nature of Silver Age comics, you likely just won’t get it. The characters are stiff and overwritten just as they should be. But comics fans weaned on the Dark Knight and Spawn probably won’t think it’s cool.

Thankfully, the game stands as a great tactical RPG in its own right, and if you love Kirby and Lee, you’ll be filled with delight and wonder as you play through Freedom Force. Finally, you get to live a comic-book adventure without having to worry about creasing the cover.
