Redwood City, CA (August 21, 2003) - Electronic Arts today released a PC demo for the squad-based action war game Freedom Fighters and it is available for all to download at www.freedomfighters.ea.com.

From EA:

Freedom Fighters is based on an alternate history in which the Soviet Union has won the Cold War and invaded America. You will take on the role of average New Yorker Christopher Stone and evolve into a fearless patriot who recruits and leads an army of freedom fighters in the streets of New York City. Players will fight through the streets of NY with seamless urban battles that take place outside as well as indoors. Because wars are not won alone, a key component of the game is the player’s ability to recruit and lead fellow New Yorkers in the battle against the Red Menace. An intuitive recruiting command system allows him to give orders to his fellow soldiers and execute critical missions at the touch of a single button.

Freedom Fighters is expected to ship soon on PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Xbox™ video game system from Microsoft, the Nintendo GameCubeÔ, and PC.
