A trio of new reviews for Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich have surfaced over the past couple of days. The first is at
The Jaded Gamer with an overall score of 85%:
Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich will appeal to anyone who has ever loved comics. Even though the underlying strategic gameplay is standard, the presentation is an effective vehicle for a title that has a solid sense of style, zany story and entertaining tone of self-mockery.

Freedom Force versus The Third Reich - much like its predecessor - is pure magic! The Irrational Games team had the right formula the first time out - and they've proven that they can improve on such... something not easily done by most game developers. I really had an impossible time finding things to criticise about this game; probably fueled by the problem of both the game's pure "playing pleasure" for the PC gamer being easily "maxed out", and by the lack of any problematic gameplay software issues (something regrettably lacking in too many of the PC games nowadays). In-game controls were fairly easy to understand, and just as easy to use - even for one as "physically challenged" as I. The entire soundtrack (i.e. voice acting, ambient and fighting sounds, music, etc.) was more than adequate for this game - and never detracted from game play. Graphics deserve my U.S. Navy "eyeball liberty" award easily. In short -my only complaint- and it is a major one - is that the mod manager segment of Irrational's Freedom Force vs The Third Reich website needs to start working on some new game meshes and such to compliment the game editor.
And the third is at
Digital Entertainment News with an overall score of 8.8/10:
In the end, Freedom Force vs. the 3rd Reich may not be a progression into the Silver Age of comics or a radical makeover of the original game, but it is a great story that’s fun to play. That has to count for something.
