A DnD style game without the dice and dungeon crawling.

If you're into comics and super heroes this game is a must have. The game is set up like a comic book, with heroes, villians, and super powers abound, some better than others. The story is actually pretty good in a cartoony kind of way, but you have to understand it like a comic book-it's not meant to be taken seriously. Gameplay is good, but you have no direct control of your heroes. It's point, click, and watch them attack unfortunately. But what you're watching can be awesome! Most of the attacks are really cool and destructive, you can soon level city blocks and watch them crumble to the ground around you. Which oddly makes me think of the bill believe it or not. Sound is well done, but again, its set up like a comic book so you'll get a lot of "Hero" speech. The story is quite expansive and you'll be playing the game for a while. As your heroes get stronger you can give them new additional powers, and this adds to the RPG element in that you'll need to allocate points to certain powers you want raised. And with a few cheats here and there you can enlist the best heroes right at the start, which adds a whole new dimension to the game if you're into that sort of thing. Don't let the comic book atmosphere get to you, this is a great game and well worth playing. There are newer games quite similiar to this (Marvel Ultimate Alliance for example), but for a game that has heroes YOU want, including home made heroes with custom powers, set out on a new and different kind of story unlike M.U.A. Freedom Force is the only way to go. FOR FREEDOM!
