Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich Review

IGN PC is the first website to post a review of Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich, giving the superhero RPG sequel an overall score of 9.0/10. Here’s why:

In the end, I can’t really complain that the sequel is pretty much just like the original game. Though I’d love to have seen a few more gameplay innovations and some minor changes to the story, the fact that Freedom Force is still pretty much the only game of its type around encourages me to be a bit more forgiving. Though we complain a lot about copycat development, I’m honestly surprised more developers haven’t tried to tackle this type of game. It’s not like there aren’t other comic eras that are crying out for this kind of treatment.

Maybe it’s because no one can do it as well as Irrational can. They broke the superhero curse with the first title and proven it wasn’t a fluke by releasing a follow up that’s every bit as good. The design here is just as amazing as it was in the original game and the presentation is as solid and slick as ever. The story’s great and full of more comic book conventions than you can imagine.
