Gameplay
Freedom: First Resistance is set on Earth in an alternative future where the Catteni alien race has invaded and occupied the planet, forcing most of humanity into labor camps. During gameplay, the player takes on the role of a female human named Angel Sanchez, voiced by Yeni ��lvarez. Sanchez is the leader of a resistance party who attempts to end the alien's oppression.
The player's computer mouse is used to control the camera as well as which direction the character is facing, and players can freely switch between characters that join Sanchez's party.
Reception
Freedom: First Resistance received generally poor reviews. IGN rated the game at 4.9 out of 10 (bad). GameSpot rated it at 3.9 out of 10 and wrote in their summary of the game that "If the disappointing gameplay and the graphics and sound somehow aren't enough to turn you off to the game, Freedom has lots of smaller problems as well." In an article titled Freedom: First Resistance ��� Let's hope that it's also the last, IGN commented that the game had shortcomings, including glitches in stealth mode such as enemies detecting the character through walls, or conversely, not detecting the character at all. Further criticism in the IGN article claimed that the combat engine functioned poorly and lacked player involvement. IGN went on to point out minor issues such as a "choppy frame rate," and incompatibility with various video and sound cards.
Some of IGN's positive criticism noted the game's well-developed textures that lead to convincing outdoor environments as well as the game's tight animation sequences that were the result of nearly 700 motion captured animations.
