    Deftly avoids the many pitfalls of AI squad tactics, and this, combined with great control, mission design, and presentation, makes for a truly fantastic game.
  2. PC Gameworld

    Ultimately the game is a little on the shallow side when it comes to mission goals and weapons, but it is fun enough to overlook these shortcomings.
  3. GameSpy
    85
    It's really only its brevity and restrictive save game system that keeps this game from fighting its way to the top of the genre.
  4. Yahoo!

    The AI is surprisingly excellent - if you send a batch of troops out to scout, they will take up careful positions, scale machine gun positions, engage the enemy, and redeploy defensively without any more commands having to be issued.

    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]

    What this shooter lacks in depth, it makes up for in fun factor. [Holiday 2003, p.114]

    It matches intense, fast-paced action with a squirrely camera and imprecise aiming. Needless to say, that isn't a particularly compelling combination. [Feb 2004, p.77]

    I miss this game so much, my PS2 is ruined and i have a Xbox 360 now. If they made this game for Xbox Arcade i would buy it again in a split I miss this game so much, my PS2 is ruined and i have a Xbox 360 now. If they made this game for Xbox Arcade i would buy it again in a split second. It might not be amazing to control a hand full of AI people now but when the game came out it was amazing. I never had a problem with this game and i loved playing it in multiplayer. This is a must try game if your not afraid of an old engine. Music for this game is awesome aswell. I also would like to mention that even if you are a european and perhaps not to much into the america-f*** yes type of came, fear not, this is made by a danish company. Let's hope they make a sequal.… Expand

Никогда не забуду эту сложность с огромным количеством вражеских ботов, кучей перезапусков, а также вездусущим непониманием, что вообще делать - оно свойственно многим играм той поры. И все же было в ней что-то такое... Ладно, не буду растягивать. Бредовый сюжет, достаточно, чтобы назвать его клюквой. Потешная концовка. Интересный геймплей с командованием ботами плюс неплохая стрельба, а также разнообразие способов убийства врагов и некоторая разрушаемость. Также, как я недавно выяснил, неплохой саундтрек. Вот и все, "Freedom Fighters", спи спокойно, надеюсь, если выйдет продолжение, оно будет без этого безумного сеттинга.… Expand

    OK. I only played the demo and must admit, I was not impressed at all. Stiff controls, crappy dialogues, though the graphics aren't too OK.

Yeah yeah maybe I should try the full game but actually, after this demo I'm not interested! Can't wait for Half-Life 2 !!!… Expand
