==Reception== It received a score of 7.5/8.5/8 from ''[[Electronic Gaming Monthly]]'': the first reviewer, Joe Fielder, called the game's core gameplay mechanic "damn fun to play", but criticized its cutscenes and said that "you come away from ''Freedom Fighters'' wanting more. Just when the game really hits its stride, it's over—and neither playing its under-utilized multi-player mode nor beginning the whole affair over again on a harder difficulty setting will quite satisfy your need". The second reviewer, Shawn Elliott, called it "easily one of the best all-out action games I've played all year".<ref name=egm>{{Cite web | archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20040405115315/www.egmmag.com/article2/0,2053,1490636,00.asp | url=http://www.egmmag.com/article2/0,2053,1490636,00.asp | archivedate=April 5, 2004 | title=You say you want a revolution? | author=Fielder, Joe; Elliott, Shawn; Intihar, Bryan | date=October 1, 2003 | work=[[Electronic Gaming Monthly]] | accessdate=April 12, 2010 }}</ref> ===Sequel=== On April 6, 2004 Eidos UK revealed plans for the sequel.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/freedomfighters2/news.html?sid=6092995|publisher=Gamespot|title=New ''Commandos'', ''Freedom Fighters'', and ''Deus Ex'' titles planned|date=April 6, 2004}}</ref> Eidos announced it would distribute the sequel in the first half of its financial year 2006, which would mean the latter part of 2005.
