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.
