Is this the worst game ever? Maybe, maybe not. It all depends on what your definition of worst is.
I wanted to try something new, something different. So at random I went to file planet and picked out one of their game demos. I picked Freedom Force VS the 3rd Reich and went OO Nazi and Super heroes, what an original concept; let’s see where this takes us. Sure enough I wasn’t disappointed. The story line goes, man loves wife, wife is freaked out by Neighbor, Neighbor kills wife, husband gets the chair, strange energy flows through him, Man receives super powers, man becomes “Tombstoneâ€, and Tombstone kills the Neighbor. The Neighbor was just luckily in the room watching the execution, laughing.Now the game looks like they tried to make something fun. But, it’s not. The writing of the story line is more annoying then anything, and the super hero Tombstone is a joke. “My Neighbor killed my wife and now I’m a super heroâ€... I\'m speechless.The plus side is that character movement is good. Simple point and click. Someone should be able to jump right into the game and start playing, although I have no idea why they would.I just am trying to find good things to say about this game at this point, but I can’t. If the goal of \"Irrational Games\" was to make fun of comic books, World War II, and the intelligence of their target audience then they did a good job. Irrational Games surly lived up to their name! I might be a little hard on this demo, but the purpose of a demo is to try to convince people to purchase the game. Not shock them into thinking that some one some where thought that was a quality product. I tried to sit down and give this game a second chance but just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I will be uninstalling this as soon as I’m done writing the review and hopefully will forget I even played it.If some one is craving a game with super heroes, tell them to try “City of Heroesâ€, I know it has a monthly fee, but it’s better to pay for quality monthly then new garbage.It\'s possible that this game just wasn’t for me, but try it, I DARE you.Oh, and if your looking for top notch graphics to save the day. I’m sorry my friend, this is a comic book game. Good graphics might take away from the novelty of it all.
