    You know what's funny...Game Informer says the player and camera controls are poor but Official Xbox Magazine says the controls are idiot-proof. What does that say about Game Informer LOL.

    Game Informer's review is speaking of camera controls that are controlled by the game...OXM is saying that the player's ability to use the controller setup in the game is idiot-proof -- i.e. overly-simple to where a monkey could control the squad.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    The concept is awesome. THe Russians "liberate" the US, kinda like the US is doing to Iraq right now. But I really wish the controls were customizable more - they really frustrated me using just the default. The graphics are pretty bad, and the gameplay is only okay. Basically, it plays like max payne, except with bad graphics, worse gameplay, but with a great original story.

    EA had better get with the program and embrace Xbox Live- or at the very least include include co-op modes with their shooters. The deathmatch mode in this game (like Medal of Honour) is a total embarrassment.

    This is a quality third-person shooter. It is squad-based, but there isn't as much emphasis on that as in some other games (i.e. that $50 piece of sh.t Brute Force). There isn't much here to offer gamers that they won't find somewhere else, but if you're looking for a good game like this, I think you'll be pleased.

    One of the most underrated games for the original Xbox, freedom fighter have some very interesting mechanics the one of the best is that it feels kind of metroid integration of the go from District to District to get resources to destroy another district, and it's really fun and satisfying to have an army you can send efter the Soviet Union soldiers.

    .p,s The soundtrack is amazing    … Expand

    One of my favorite games. Really underrated in my opinion. Wish they didn't cancel FF2.

    It's far less intricate than a regular squad-based game, yet it retains all the elements that make them fun - as opposed to a title like Brute Force, which had none of them. A fine display of IO's creative talent. [Oct 2003, p.116]

    While level design is solid, NPCs have the personalities of spatulas, and environments are often jarringly noninteractive... Worth the ride, certainly, but this one could have done with a little less fighting and a little more freedom. [Oct/Nov 2003, p.98]
  3. GMR Magazine

    Fighters plays up the action while devaluing its story with cookie-cutter bad guys, bad accents, and jingoistic sentiments. [Oct 2003, p.76]
