Summary: What took so long?
Review: A cool 21st century tribute to the classic comics of the 60's. Great gameply and graphics. Complex and hokey plots are perfect. Built-in heroes are fun to experiment with. You can also create your own (though it takes some work) or download others efforts from FF sites, including Spider-Man, wolverine, etc.

There's talk of a sequel using the 'darker,' more cynical heroes that emerged in the 70's.

Only downsides are
--linear plot, with each mission tightly focused on taking out the bad guys ASAP.
--the "prestige points" needed to recruit new heroes build up too slowly.

Summary: Top notch RPG form MacPlay
Review: Have you ever heard anything bad anout Freedom force? I doubt it. And for good reason this game is almost completely flawless. You get great gameplay, slick, detailed graphics, tons of hero abilities, varied levels, you can make your own characters, giving them all the abilities (including edited ones) that you could ever want, you can literally rip the citys apart and either bust, swing, throw, or explode almost everything you find, and you get at least several weeks worth of total bliss while playing away at this game.
Probably my only minor quibble was that some of the the characters lines were so lame and repetitive that you could hardly even use the excuse "It's all just a parody" (which the developers claimed it wasn't) but as I said it was only minor so just let it roll.
If you have $35 and want a game, regardless of whether your new to gaming, dislike RPGs, or have only the bare system requirements (it's practically worth upgrading just to play this game) its a crime not to purchase Freedom Force.

Summary: Freedom Force RULES
Review: THe game is like a comic book as a computer. All throuhgout the game your main character Minuteman encounters diffucult tasks. The graphics are pretty good for an RPG and the story is funny and interesting. I give it five stars. Multiplayer is great.
All together its awsome. You should buy it.

Summary: I CAN'T STOP PLAYING THIS GAME!!!!
Review: This game is insanely great (just like the macintosh!)! This real-time strategy game (aka RTS) plays very well and micromanagement is a real pleasure and not a chore.

The only problem I encountered while playing FF was whenever Timemaster showed up, and then the game would get real laggy and froze. This was remedied when I switched from playing at 1440x900 screen resolution to something less demanding of the processors, currently set at 1024x 640. This remedied the choppy Timemaster appearances, and I was able to play the game all the way to the end.

Which is something to be noted: Freedom Force is one of those rare games in which I felt compelled to play until the end, and without using cheats too!

Freedom Force is a real gem of a game and with any luck MacPlay and Irrational will see to a mac OS X release of the upcoming sequel Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich!!!

Easily the best superhero game ever released. If you're into real-time strategy and/or the Silver Age of comix this is indeed a must-have.
