Jeroen Amin – Freedom Fighters 2
If Red Dawn had a video game adaptation, this would be it. The year was 2003 and IO Interactive were in their prime. The year before, they released the fantastic Hitman 2 to glowing reviews and quickly garnered a large fan following. In 2003 they released Freedom Fighters, an ambitious title that did everything just right. You play as Chris Stone, a plumber on the job, when the Russians suddenly invade New York. You escape from them and run into a small resistance group. Joining up with them, you lead a rebel force that grows from a few people in a sewer to a veritable army staging guerrilla warfare at every turn.
What really set the game apart was that instead of being presented to the player one mission at a time, you would instead get a few at a time and had to choose which one to do first. Completing one successfully meant a change in the other ones, anything from less reinforcements to no tanks or helicopters to no functioning alarms.
