This should be arriving for me tommorrow (I hope).

I shall let you all know what its like and if its worth it, but based on Hitman 2, it should be brilliant.

Especially firefights down New York streets, with all your resistance fighters against hordes of Sovs.

NGC's review isn't as in-depth as I would've liked, so I'll be waiting for your opinion to see if the game is good or not.

From what I've seen so far, it looks pretty good, and has some good scores, but I'm not entirely sure yet. I'll probably end up changing my Conflict GAD win to this and then try and win another one for when it's out, but not if it turns out balls.

I have the Xbox version either arriving tomorrow or Thursday. I can't wait to be honest, the demo is mint and it looks funking quality.

The NGC score (83% for anyone who doesn't know) is the lowest I've seen.

Gamespot gave it 9.2, which is damn good.

Gamespot are the most tight fited barstuards in the reviewing business. Freedom Fighters must be THAT good!

I seriously can't wait. I have the PS2 demo but want the Xbox version for Dolby Digital and as of yet its the only console for which I have a wireless controller :)

We shall compare opinions when the time is near my young padawan!

Stop playing KOTOR!

I do think Gamespot gave it high marks simply because you are liberating New York against the Soviets.

:D

Heheh!

KOTOR is the mutties nutties. Play it of prepare to feel the force :)

I have just rad the Xbox version review which got 9.3 (don't know why Cube version got 9.2) and I am wetting myself with anticipation.

CDS was good, very good in places however I fealt the enemy AI was ballax and your team didn't help it either. I can tell you this in advance (from the PS2 demo) that the AI of both sides is possinly the best I have ever seen.

Characters duck behind bins and walls and follow a routine of checking round corners etc on a regular basis. The demo is excellent and when you raise the flag at the end it feels like you have achieved something despite the fact you have just ordered your team to gun placements and provided covering fire for 90% of the time :)

Just checked why the Xbox version scored 9.3 and apparently the visuals are sharper and the Dolby Digital steps in to increase the audio score.

Oo, and thats on PS2. Cube and XBox versions should (but probably won't) look a bit more tasty.

I just want a game where you get incredibly over the top, large scale explosions and gun fights while running crazily around lobbing grenades.

I shall also get CDS:II for the same reason (minus OTT explosions) and the yells of 'TAAAAAAAANNNNNNNKKK! HASTA LA VISTA BABY!' and 'DIE MUDOFU*KER!!'
in co-op.

Priceless.
