Freedom Force (2002 Video Game)
8/10
A good and worthy homage to the Silver Age comics, finally!

Are you tired to death of supposed "homages to the past" by the big corporations of the american mainstream superhero industry that in reality don't homage nothing but they simply repeat at nauseam the same decostructionist stuff of Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns by people who try to mimick Alan Moore and Frank Miller as much as possible (I'm talking about overrated turds like Justice League: The New Frontier, All-Star Superman, The Grant Morrison Batman Run, The Geoff Johns schlocky comics, Kingdom Come Etc. Etc. Etc.)? Well, I have a news for you! This game beats the crap out of any of these "homages" because it simply takes the Silver Age atmospheres and writing 100% as they were without trying to add nothing under the surface and it's really really fun, albeit it's not the most difficult strategy game ever (there is no King Arthas level crazyness in here) but what matters is that it's fun, and at the end of the day I'd take this over The Frozen Throne anyday, anytime. The only real negative I see is the tendency of your party to be stuck because they don't do what you tell them to do, but again minor complaint not a big one.

All in all, highly recommended to all superheroes and Silver Age aficionados. I can't wait to see how they homaged my favourite period of all times (the golden age) in the following chapter!
