    Default Freedom Force gold imminent

    Work on Freedom force is almost complete and just has to verify gold master status. The game has been anticipated for quite some time and is hoping to be the first good superhero game to be released in a long time.

    Electronic Arts and Irrational Studios have nearly completed work on Freedom Force, and it is undergoing testing at EA right now to verify gold master status. This is truly a momentous occasion for many a geek out there, as no company has successfully managed to produce and release a good superhero game since the venerable Superhero League of Hoboken. More as it comes, and keep your eyes here for our (hopeful) review.

    I downloaded the demo to see what all the fuss was about......definitely a very cool game with a lot of attention to detail. The first level loaded some 760+ objects.

    This would definitely be a great game in multiplayer, since you could have several superheroes working together at once. The single-player game was supposed to work within this aspect, but I found it really hard to control more than two superheroes at a time, so the second mission was a royal pain in the ass. Yes, you can pause, issue orders, and then unpause, but that just totally kills the flow of the gameplay, and it's a crude way to balance out gameplay flaws.
