1.0 out of 5 stars Freedom Force as if programmed by chimps, January 1, 2004

This review is from: Hero X (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

I would place more value on free AOL disks.

Pros:
The plastic CD case is reusable
The cover art is the highlight of the game.
The background music seems much nicer than the rest of the game.

Cons:
Insipid play
Inadequate controls
Lame story line
Weak concept
I bought it
I loaded it onto my machine
I rebooted my machine to "play" this dreck.
Playing for a little while, thinking "this has got to get better soon", no, no, no it doesn't. Superman on the Atari 2600 was way better.

This appears to be more an ambitious school project than a professional game.
