I wouldn't go as far as the title of my thread(Moreless said that to get ya in here) Brute Force was suppose to be the next great Xbox game. It was in development, and hyped up for a very long time. When the game was finally released, it was a pretty big let down. It wasn't a bad game by any means, but it was far from great.(oK enough about brute force, this thread is about Freedom fighters, not BF ;) )
Last year EA announced a little title called Freedom Fighters(FF). After that announcement, the game seemed to drop off the face of the earth. I didn't really hear anything else about Freedom Fighters, untill a few weeks ago when I received my EGM. They actually gave the game a good review, and said the game was actually fun(EGM gave FF a 8) Then to my surprise, the game got another good review from OXM(gave the game a 8.5) Needless to say after the couple of good reveiws I read about FF, I got very interested in FF(3rd person squad based shooters is one of my favorite genres) so I downloaded the FF demo for the pc..
The game is very fun(more fun then Brute Force IMO) as far as I can tell from the demo(Game reminds me of syphon filter). The game isn't great, but it seems to be a lot of fun, the graphics arn't in Brute Forces league, but they get the job done. Needless to say after playing the demo, and reading the good reviews I plan on picking Freedom Fighters when it's released in two weeks.
