First off, sorry that I didn't comment here since its been a very long time (like 3 or 4 years) since I've touched the game. I also apologise for bumping a rather old thread.

After playing this game, I have to agree with this point. Feels more like a strategy game with RPG elements. Also seen my friend played Syndicate before there does seem to be a striking similarity.

I agree. It does suit the game very well give its comic book style design. Quite interesting game, though it did get a bit tiresome due to the fact that I have to babysit the team members. Sure the AI is okay but sometimes when they try to fend for themselves, they don't seem to use the appropriate method to do so. Yeah, it doesn't make it irritating but its slightly bothersome.
Overall, it is an interesting game nonetheless. Good plot and the comic book style really suits the whole game. Each of the characters featured have interesting personalities and backstory to them. Didn't get to try its sequel though, Freedom Force vs the Third Reich, as I already lost interest in the game after playing the first one by then.
