    I just got the game recently and I've enjoyed playing it. They call it a tactical RPG, though the "RP" in RPG is a bit of a stretch I think.

    Its essentially like BG or IWD, but with 1960's type superheroes. Its very cheesy in an amusing sort of way, with corny super herp dialog and such. :grin:

    Its a hilarious game, so don't take it too seriously. Don't expect a great plot(evil aliens want to conquer an earth defended by a costumed group of superheroes) or dialog with any substance. Its really just a laugh trip.

    There's a free demo so you can see whether its worth your money and time before buying.

    Tell me what you folks think. :)

    yes, FF is a GREAT game. and while the combat shares the constant pause/unpause mechanic with Baldur's Gate, it is nothing like any of the Infinity Engine games. the only RPG aspect is leveling up between missions. But then, who cares, since it's so much fun anyway.

    [​IMG] I really like FF. It's rather like Fallout Tactics. It tries to be a RPG but it's not really. This aside it's a great game. If you like comic or superheros you'll love it. Extremely campy but that part of it's charm. The graphics and sounds are well done and the voice acting - if over the top - is in the classic style of 60's comics. The mission have a fair amount of variety and the plot keeps you laughing if nothing else.
