 Encyclopedia: Freedom fighter
Freedom fighter is a relativistic local term for those engaged in rebellion against an established government that is held to be oppressive and illegitimate.
The term freedom fighter, while indicating favor of some political group, often does not reflect any actual political position of those fighting--central to this is a dispute over the meaning of freedom itself and whether a group in question can be said to actually fight for the purpose of establishing freedom.
Freedom Fighters is one of those rare games that you have high expectations for, but when the game arrives it not only meets those expectations, but exceeds them on almost every level.

 "Freedom Fighters"/ a game review from Christian Spotlight
Your freedom fighters are intelligent, effective, and as you gain their trust they will do whatever you tell them to do.
Freedom Fighters has all of the normal war-game sounds: gunfire, explosions, etc. Yet it carves for itself a certain uniqueness by fleshing out the premise that you're a New Yorker fighting Soviets in Manhattan.
Freedom Fighters drops us into a believable story, throws a couple of pretty intense plot twists at us halfway through, and gives us a great-playing and satisfying squad-based action game.

Naturally, the first thing Freedom Fighters presents you with is the game's storyline, ranging from a reasonably quick intro to ingame cut scenes.
Despite the fact the game does a good job of not over doing the story introduction with lengthy explanations and the likes, the story line is indeed quite cliche driven.
Freedom Fighters is arguably what the PC so sorely needed - third person action with innovative measures to ensure its quality and playability.

 Freedom Fighters PC Video Game Review by AceGamez
The game is set in an alternate timeline, a different dimension if you will, in which the USSR became the major force in the world after dropping an A Bomb on Berlin that ends World War II quite abruptly.
Your character is taken under the wing of a resistance fighter, who leads you through the chaos and panic ridden streets to the New York sewers, from which the movement intends to wage its guerrilla war.
It sounds like a game that can be over quite quickly, however if you've got a bunch of pals in who are familiar with the game and how the squads work, it can lead to a lot of long, tense, but fun filled and action packed games.

 Featuring Freedom Fighters Review at ActionTrip
On the surface Freedom Fighters is all about arcadish and simplistic console-friendly gameplay (this is a multi-platform title), but to anyone who knows anything about gaming it will be apparent there is more to it than that.
True enough; the main premise behind the game is its focus on the simplicity and smoothness of the interface and gameplay mechanics in general, but that's like saying cars are simple because you only have to put your foot on the gas pedal and steer a bit.
In Freedom Fighters the straightforward action gameplay where you run around the streets of New York City, leading your squad mates against the Soviet oppressors is backed up by some of the most amazing AI work and intelligent game design solutions I've seen in an action game.

As the game unfolds you will progress from the role of an unknown freedom fighter to the leader of not just the local resistance but a figurehead for the whole US counter-revolution.
Freedom Fighters uses a charisma system that bears some similarities to the trust system employed in that other consoley squad-based shooter, The Thing.
