Freedom Force is a fun light gun game that I was not aware of until fairly recently. I wish I knew about it sooner because this is a really cool game. First of all, the graphics are fantastic. In the first level, the camera will scroll up and down the fuselage of a plane. Doors will open, some have hostages and some have terrorists. Your job is to kill all the terrorists you can and avoid killing hostages, all while trying not to get yourself killed. There are various powerups that will appear in the lower right hand of the screen. That's where to look if you need a bump in health or ammo, but be careful because a grenade will kill everyone on screen, including civilians and hostages. You also have to keep an eye out for grenades and missiles which you can shoot down in midair. If you don't hit these, it's instant death.
All of the levels are well-designed and have great graphics. In the airport terminal, you'll even see a girl in a bikini who will pop out and wave at you as if there wasn't a major counter-terrorist action going down. Also, there's a kid on a skateboard who seems equally oblivious. Now that I think of it, there's an awful lot of whimsy in this game considering the body count.
Whimsy and bikinis aside, Freedom Force is about as good as light gun games get. It's non-stop light gun shooting, and the death animation for the terrorists is as fun as death can possibly be. The only issue with this game is that the difficulty does get pretty steep pretty fast. Aside from that, I've never had anything but fun with Freedom Force.
