Freedom Force Vs the Third Riech
Take a trip into the Silver Age of Comic Book Superheroes and help defeat the dastard plans of a resurgent Nazi threat!
Posted by Chris Snook - PC - UK and Europe

Cry Freedom and let slip the Heroes of a Silver Age.

Freedom Force are back and ready to defend truth, justice and cheese from the dire commies and their henchmen.

But even now things are afoot to bring low our team, a new menace once thought long defeated has arisen and the only ones who can once more save the free world are the plucky Freedom Force!

Freedom Force Vs the Third Reich is set firmly in the tongue in cheek of the original as you sally forth to do battle as the greatest superhero team this side of the Stupendous Seventeen. As before the action is set with a distinctive look and feel, culled from the comic book style of the 1960's, evoking the styles and speech patterns of those times. Hearing the 'expletive' Peaches and Cream adds to the experience as does the lovingly created faux comic covers that punctuate the different missions.

Events follow closely from the original and expand outwards as you follow into the trainer mission as one of the characters from the previous game. From here you learn the system and get set to kerpow the mooks that are about hoping to hinder your progress towards the objectives given. From here on in you will face old enemies who have escape prison including the notorious Nuclear Winter.

Slowly a plan of sheer and unutterable evil will take shape and the greatest threat to the world will once more stalk the ground as the Third Reich is triumphant in the Second World War and only the lovers of Justice and Freedom can save the day once more and place the world back on track.

There are many features that are familiar, backgrounds, secret origins of the heroes and some of the villains - of which many are a hoot to watch, all reminiscent again of the time that they are supposed to be set in each gloriously thought out and planed with wondrous over the top dialogue and missions to perform in the style of those Silver Age publications that inspired most of the gameplay and how it reacts to the real world.

There are dozens of characters to play, some with sidekicks and they run the gamut from the Communist hating Minuteman to the alien Mentor and quite a lot between from which you can build your team for each mission as you require, blending abilities and styles to the best advantage.

So stand by for action as Freedom Force once more stands to guard the world from all menaces and all comers.

Holy Blue Balustrades comic fans!
