The only complaint I have with the game is that the player is not given enough information about an upcoming level before he or she makes character choices. Choosing one character over another is often the difference in completing the main objectives and not. It is frustrating to fail to complete a level with a certain team only to realize that a slightly different team could have breezed through the level.

That complaint aside, Freedom Force is an excellent game, one that has restored my enthusiasm for the comic characters of old and their exciting, ideologically simple-minded pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.

Freedom Force is an exceptional game and worthy of praise. It stands as both a delightful homage to the silver age of comics and as a game that breaks the tired sequel mold that most computer games are seemingly locked into. Best of all, the entire system is likely to improve, as the promised skirmish mode and mission editor are released. Technically, it may not stand out from the cutting edge games, but in pure gaming pleasure and enjoyment it is able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
