Yep, another one! The RPG Vault has chimed in with some impressions on Irrational Games' upcoming RPG, Freedom Force Vs. Third Reich. Here's a nugget:

One thing that can be reported is that the small sampling we saw gives every indication the title will retain and build on some of its predecessor's key strengths. One of these is the look. Freedom Force very effectively captured the visual essence of the comic book medium and transferred it to the computer screen. It appears the sequel will do the same. In some regards, it may be even better. For instance, although only an impression, it seems like there are more usable and destructible elements within the environments. This is great in terms of allowing your characters to feel like powerful superheroes, although you might not want to go around demolishing every lamppost, phone booth, mailbox and building since doing so will reduce your prestige rating. Then again... In a related vein, the results of behaviors such as smashing things or tossing a car will seem natural, at least within the game context; things will shatter and bounce, debris will hit and injure innocent bystanders, etc.
