Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich Preview

GameSpy has put together a two-page preview of Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich, based upon what they saw of the action RPG sequel at the World Cyber Games press event. An excerpt to follow:

In terms of living targets for players to beat on, yesterday’s demo focused on just a couple of new enemies. Mainly, our host’s group took on throngs of darkly-clad, spectral creatures called “wraiths.” They didn’t seem like they were too powerful in their own right, but their primary powers were quite nefarious. They were able to turn the pedestrian characters in the game into powerful monsters, which would then proceed to physically batter the superhero team. Two different types were shown: “Subterrestrials,” and “Killarillas.” The former were towering, lion-headed beastmen with orange hair, and wearing purple “bad guy” armor, while the latter looked fairly similar, only they were dressed in more muted tones. They didn’t look as flamboyant as their amusing name would lead one to believe, I’m sorry to report. Anyway, the villain behind these terrible wraith attacks seems to be an extradimensional being called Entropy, whose visage I managed to catch a glimpse of during one of the in-game narrative sequences. She sounded suitably menacing, and looked a little bit like Marvel’s Mystique.
