[karan.painkiller]

[Nemesis]

i would say serious sam....coming frm a new developer, it was an awesome game....had gr8 graphics and the DOOM style mindless kiil 'em all gameplay....

[ctrl_alt_del]

Freedom Fighters! I wasen't sure what the game would be like but the story and execution of the game exceeded my wildest dreams!

[NikhilVerma]

Freedom Fighters! FOR ME TOO!!!

I tougbht of it as an ordinary game at first ... But it is SIMPLY AWESOME graphically, storywise and gameplaywise....

Just wise man!!! Topped all of my expectations...

DoomIII and HL2 are just about graphics....

P.S. : Didn't intend to hurt any HL2 or DoomIII fan but Freedom Fighter ROCKS!

[Sourabh]

Freedom fighters or Freedom Force

i was shocked for a while , probably i mis read them as Freedom Force ...lol

[ctrl_alt_del]

It's Freedom Fighters all right.

[tarey_g]

I was expecting frm Enter the matrix but the game really was a big disappointment.

yea i started playing freedom fighters thinking of it as a casual game ,but the game was extremely cool. the bgm was one of the best i hav heard in games i hav played.

[techno_funky]

yeps same here
freedom fighters
it hooked me on to that game
good graphics good storyline as well
the teaming strategy's
Ai was too found good
all to say a damn good game that dint make it ot the top

freedom fighters ! yes.
it never got that much push
but that was awasome

spiderman 1&2 were disappointing. realyy

[anshul_sood]

Freedom Fighter was the game that really exceeded my expectations.

[rachitboom2]

Well I think it was "MARIO"



HAHAHA just kidding I to think it was freedom fighters as it was awasome !!!

[ctrl_alt_del]

It seems like Freedom Fighter had been the biggest underdog! Almost all seem to have started playing the game with very low expectations but have got more then they had expected and then some! The devlopers really deserve a pat on the back for this. Wonder when Freedom Fighters 2 would see the light of the day?

[Ethan_Hunt]

For me it was Hl2....I never expected such a huge Storyline and Graphics extravaganza over its predecessor Man The game was simply awesome 8)

@cody....well i suppose Freedom Fighter 2 is already in working title for the Ps2 and Xbox....though not much additonal news and screenies available yet but Gamespot states Edios Plans its release for later Part of this year

[Nemesis]

so many ppl talkin abt freedom fighters...me never played it...guess i should try it out but wait...ill aready have such high expectations frm the game...will it live up to them??

[Ethan_Hunt]

and how high expectations do u mean nemi????

This game is a fair enough 3rd Person Shooter game....Will work like a breeze on Normal system config as well so no problem of lag out there....atleast i can assure u a total Time pass gameplay for a while.....ohhh yea it will as well depend if u like the genre

[Nemesis]

as high as those i had with D3 and HL2...

i dont mind 3rd person shooters...i loved max payne i think i better get hold of the game somehow...u guys r tempting me now...

[Ethan_Hunt]

hmm...well i guess i had to add that line of not expecting so much outta that game

But still say u liked MP then This will be a piece of cake Minus all the Bullet Time Combos and Large Load times

Also this game is quite old but u can easily get hold of it oh yea this is a One Disc game so figure out whats installed for ya

Also u can try the demo first if ya want to http://www.download.com/Freedom-Figh...-10222324.html

[dOm1naTOr]

I was very excited on geting it until I started it.My heart broke whem I started playing it.I just thought of burning the whole PC, but I regained my consciousness nd I sold it to my friend at some what the same price for which I bought it.Thank God IT HAS GONE!!!!!!

[Darthvader]

Wat about freedom force. after a long period of boring superhero games it was one game that really delivered

Actually we are talking about "shattering expectations" in a positive way! But guess the subject can be interpretted in your way as well!

[moshel]

At first even i thought that Freedom Fighters was an average game. But it really exceeded my expectations.

and the best thing about that was it played on my old p3 733 mhz, 810e motherboard 192 mb ram PC!!!!!!

When it came to shattering expectations, I have to say three games did it for me. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was one. Somehow I never listened to the people who told me to run and get the game ASAP. But the second I got it on the PS2 and started playing it, I couldn't stop - literally. While the game was a bit frustrating the first time around, once I got the hang of it, I couldn't stop. I still play it regularly.

The next game that shattered my expectations was Half-Life 2. I know much has already been said about this, but after the disappointment that came with the release of Doom 3 and playing it without much of a gameplay angle, I was somehow preparing myself for the worst when I picked up HL2. I went home installed it and the trouble with Steam started right away. I thought "Oh heck! This is gonna be a worse let down than D3 was!" The game finally loaded after an hour, and after staring at an interminable load time for the first level, I started playing through it. I never was convinced of the game's true genius until the "Water Hazard" level. It was then that I truly realized that it was more than what I had expected.

But the most earth-shattering experience for me came from a game that unfortunately didn't get the credit it deserved because it launched along with the biggie - HL2. The game? Tribes: Vengeance. I didnt open the package until I had finished playing HL2 and by the time I got around to playing the second level and the multiplayer online, I had to slap myself to realize how the game had come from nowhere and blew away all my expectations of the game to kingdom come. I have never played a game that was this engaging in single-player, except, perhaps, say Call of Duty. To anyone that hasn't tried out this game, do so - NOW! I guarantee you till love it to death!

for me it has to be an obscure game called gothic 2. all sites had given it an average rating. still i decided to give it a try. n boy, wat a heck of the game is it. i got truly immersed in its environment and spent many nights playing it.
another one would be SWAT 4, i really thought it would be no better than counter strike. but to my surprise i found it to be quite exciting

[Hells_Fury]

For me it would be Indogo Prophecy aka Farenheit. I didnt expect much when I forst started playing but boy oh boy was i in for a surprise. This was easily the best game i had ever played on the PS2. I didnt find any other game as immersive as this one.

I agree with Indigo Prophecy. It is very good game. Especially the arcade sequence. After i changed the keys. It became quite easy. It is one of the best adventure games. The action at last was superb. The music was amazing. The mission was exciting. This game has all. Must play game.

SWAT4 is one of best online games i ever played. i have played this game more than 450 hours

[abhi_10_20]

I thought Hitman was No 1 in action and stealth. I just bought Splinter cell
Chaos Theory and i think this is even better.

Well according to me cricket games - Cricket and BLC fail to deliver each time. Why can't they take advice from some cricket experts before making games. Each time some or the other flaw in gameplay occurs regularly.
