    I haven't even talked about the nonlinear gameplay, the spectacular graphics, the rock-solid controls, the amazing physics (especially the rag-doll death animations - wow), the great variety of missions and settings, the solid voice acting, the awesome orchestral soundtrack, or the exceptional multiplayer.

    An outstanding achievement in tactical action, Freedom Fighters soars to the top of the genre with spot-on gameplay and solid visuals. Streamlined tactical controls and solid AI make playing the game easy and fun.

    Although the controls could do with tweaking and the multiplayer doesn't hold much excitement, it's still fundamentally entertaining. It's an odd concoction, built around an idea we'd love to see developed further than it is here, but thanks to some genius AI, enjoyable level design, simple objectives and underlying black humour, it works.

    This game kicks ass. And anybody who says other wise has no taste in anykind of games. And i only gave it a ten because there was nothing higher. The controls take a while to get used to but after I got used to them I didnt want to stop playing. And again if you dont like this game keep your mouth shut. … Expand

    This game is brilliant!!! Unlike the DS Conflict games when you send your allies into battle they actually kick off leaving you like a general to watch the fireworks through your binoculars. Excellent level of difficulty to. One criticism however in multiplay the American's shotgun is invincible & spoils what is an excellent game.… Expand

    I thought it was a great idea but after playing it for a while it was just the same thing over and over again. The controls took some time to get used to. I would have liked this game if the game play itself was more like splinter cell. Maybe a freefight mode too.… Expand
