Inside Mac Games has posted a preview of MacPlay's Freedom Force. The game simultaneously pays homage and pokes fun at the Silver Age of comics, and above all, never takes itself too seriously. Brought to the Mac courtesy of MacPlay, this title is shaping up to look like a welcome surprise that will hopefully be out in time for the holiday season.  

Here's a clip from the preview:

The gameplay in FF is best described as a action game with RPG elements. Players will start with one character and eventually assemble a large team of heroes, though only a maximum of four can be used for any one mission. Control can be done entirely with a mouse, though experienced players will probably use a combination of the mouse and keyboard for quicker gameplay. Warcraft III players should feel right at home.

The game types consist of Campaign, Danger Room, and Multiplayer. The Campaign is basically the story-driven single player version, while the Danger Room generates random scenarios for heroes to tackle. The Multiplayer aspect, which uses GameRanger for matching, allows players to put their heroes against each other in combat.
