Freedom Fighters

Freedom Fighters is a third-person shooter in which the player moves through the streets of New York and fights the Soviet forces. The game also includes squad-based elements with a charisma meter. The player gains Charisma when he/she performs heroic deeds in the resistance movement against the invading forces, such as capturing a base or destroying vital supplies. The more Charisma he/she gets, the more teammates he/she can recruit, including leaderless guerrillas and wounded Russian soldiers, up to a maximum of twelve. Freedom Fighters uses a simple method to control the recruits in combat. In the game, the player can command the recruits by giving them simple commands such as "follow", "attack" and "defend", but in most situations they take care of themselves. Given the terrain of New York City after the initial invasion, the resistance usually stations its soldiers in covered positions such as craters and buildings.
