It’s worth buying. For all your other questions: [http://www.irrationalgames.com/ff/](http://www.irrationalgames.com/ff/) Really, that’s just lazy. It’s one of the first sites that comes up in a google search. ---

Worth buying? Depends on your taste in comic books. If your taste runs towards modern comics, or the early nineties Image style, I would say you would not like this game; you’d consider it kind of corny. If your taste in comics runs towards Silver Age stuff, particularly early sixties Marvel stuff with a heavy Jack Kirby influence… I’d say you’d like it a lot. I do, and did. ---

I borrowed this from a friend. The cutscenes are hilarious. Kind of cheesy (The ‘batman-esque’ music absolutely kills me 🙂 ) but a definitely good investment. The only thing that bugged me about it was the AI (or lack therof). I had a hard time on missions with multiple people, because while I was controlling one guy, some other guy was getting the snot kicked out of him. Kind of frustrating, but the sheer versatility of the game (being able to pick up/shatter just about anything, for example) and comic-book feel made it enjoyable 🙂 ---

It is a rather old game, and may be selling at a cheaper price. At least here they are going for 19.95 Singapore dollars (the exchange rate between Singapore and US dollars is roughly x2). ---

I picked it up a few weeks ago for $10.00 American, so you can get it in the bargain bin. It is well worth the original asking price though. The campaign that came with it was fun, and has a lot of potential for replaying, but it really gets good with all the mods that are available. [Freedom Reborn](http://www.freedomreborn.net/fr-online/home.htm) is a message board devoted to the original game and the new mods and skins people create, and [Freedom Portal](http://www.geocities.com/freedomportal/) has links to just about every place on the web that has downloads for the game. The original campaign is very Kirbyesque, but the mods available range from 2 modern day DC Universe campaigns, to an X-Com campaign, to completely original content. **Poetgrl** , the secret to multi-character combat is use the spacebar. A lot. Pause everyone, give some orders, see what happens, pause again, give more orders, etc. **Kurdt Kobain** , the minimum requirements are a 300mhz PII or AMD K6-2 processor, 96 MB RAM, 31 MB free HD space, 16 MB video card. It has multiplayer for 2-4 over the web or a lan, but I believe that is a free for all mode, not in campaign mode.
