    Tags: Freedom Force versus the Third Reich

    <A href="http://pc.ign.com/">IGN</a> has posted <A href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/573/573834p1.html">a preview</a> of <A href="http://www.myfreedomforce.com">Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich</a>. Like any decent preview, this one has some screenshots, some details on the game, and other nifty things orchestrated to build interest in the game. Here's a bit about the characters:
    <br>
    <br>
    <blockquote>Two of the heroes are classics from the first Freedom Force. Both Mentor and El Diablo are easily recognizable (though El Diablo is sporting some nice new flame effects) showing off skills that many players will instantly recognize. But since I've played with these happy heroes before, I concentrated most of my crime fighting efforts on Quetzalcoatl and Sky King, two of the new heroes Irrational has created for the sequel. Each hero has much different backgrounds. Quetzalcoatl came into his powers after touching a magical Mayan artifact, turning the boy into a man with mystical powers. On the other had we have Sky King, an actor who manages to be a hero despite his complete lack of mystical powers or mutations. His ingenuity and invention supplied all the power he needed in the form of a jetpack and conventional firepower and armor.</blockquote>

    Wouldn't ingenuity be enough of a superpower in Hollywood these days without needing a jet pack?

    Yeah, the truth hurts sometimes, don't it? :wink:

    The game is looking good and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Freedom Force is one of the few superhero themed games I've ever been interested in and probably the only action-y style RPG I've ever truly loved to play more than once. Hopefully the feel of this game will match the original and offer just as many hours of gaming goodness.
