2002's Freedom Force was a colorful and surprisingly engaging game that let you control a legion of superpowered superheroes that could have come right out of the Silver Age of American comic books from the 1950s. You controlled a small squad of these heroes and fought against America's traitorous enemies by using such superpowers as superhuman strength, telepathic powers, and mastery of the mysterious "Energy X," an alien energy source that turned mere mortals into superheroes and manifested itself as a limited meter that powered the use of your heroes' individual abilities. Obviously, Irrational wasn't satisfied leaving well enough alone, because the studio is revisiting Patriot City with Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich, a new game that will include an improved interface, an all-new story, and an all-new cast of heroes and villains that recalls the Golden Age of comics from the 1940s. We took an updated look at the game in action and have new details to report.
