Freedom Force chronicles the exploits of a group of super heroes in a strategy / RPG hybrid game. The unique aspect that distinguishes Freedom Force is the over the top humor and art style that pays homage to the Silver Age of Comic Books.
It looks like this isn't true any more, surprisingly enough. These guys are pretty awesome for still having a web site after all these years, though it's not entirely up-to-date. The official site, freedomfans.com, has several defunct links to "the latest patch" v1.2, however they had also created a 1.3 patch to "fix a problem where the game would not run successfully under Windows XP Service Pack 2." I needed that patch to get this game to run at all, and after installing it, much to my surprise, it allowed me to select 1920x1080x32 as a resolution, too. Graphics look as blocky and weird as you'd expect from a 10 year old game, but squares look square and circles look round, so I don't think it's doing a stretching thing here.
Well, 2 things. First, I started feeling sheepish almost immediately after posting that; it's fairly apparent I'm wrong once I figured out how to rotate the camera.. though I'm still honestly not 100% positive that things are distorted, just because the graphics are so outdated that a little stretching could easily slip by.
Second, no, I don't seem to be able to get any shots. Dunno if it's changes in Windows 8 draw methods or something peculiar to this game, but every method I'm used to working to capture screen grabs, I just wind up with a black rectangle to show for it..
