Tags: Freedom Force versus the Third Reich

While browsing around <A href="http://www.rpgdot.com/">RPGDot</a>, I noticed they also have a new <A href="http://www.rpgdot.com/index.php?hsaction=10053&ID=1117">review</a> of <A href="http://www.myfreedomforce.com">Freedom Force vs. Those Nazi Bastards</a>. The final score was <b>90%</b> and it earned some platinum thingy which is apparently a good thing. Here's part of the conclusion:
<br>
<blockquote>When the final words have to be spoken, I confess that I have a tendency to speak highly of any game to which I write my experiences... not all will (or even should) agree with my reviews - but then again, what is a game review but one individual's on-hand impressions of a particular game - to which those very same impressions are penned into the written word to be shared with others of a like interest... that is all a review of any kind should ever be, no matter in what media format it is presented.</blockquote>

Eh, you're such a whore, <b>Kristophe</b>!

I still stand by what I said about Freedom Force. It would have been a much better game if it weren't mission based. Give me a city, a Justice League-esque computer telling me random hot spots of crime, and have a story woven around that based on the outcomes of events generated by the random crime hot spots. Bam, much better.

Well, it wouldn't hurt, but Freedom Force was still a kickass game. That said, FFvtTR being just more of the same but two years later kills some of its appeal. It needed a lot more new stuff.

Funny, the last time I said that I was met with gobs of opposition from people.

What you describe is a lot like the superhero league of hoboken.

Overall I'd say it was a much, much better game than either freedom forc game, though I enjoyed both freedom force games.
