Manufacturer's Description
Homefront is a first-person shooter that challenges players to survive and impact a fictional future scenario in which America has been economically devastated and occupied by a foreign power. In the face of overwhelming oppression, you must choose whether to submit to military forces, take the fight to the enemy or even throw your lot in with the invaders. Additional features include: a single player campaign written by Hollywood screenwriter John Milius, online multiplayer support for up to 32 players, ground and vehicular combat, and more.
Home is Where the Heart Is
The year is 2027, and the world as we know it is unraveling after fifteen years of economic meltdown and widespread global conflict over dwindling natural resources. A once proud America has fallen, her infrastructure shattered and military in disarray. To make matters worse, crippled by a devastating EMP strike, the USA is powerless to resist the ever expanding occupation of a savage, nuclear armed Greater Korean Republic. Abandoned by her former allies, the United States is a bleak landscape of walled towns and abandoned suburbs. This is a police state where high school stadiums have become detention centers, and shopping malls shelter armored attack vehicles. A once-free people are now prisoners... or collaborators... or revolutionaries.
Terrifying scenario of America under occupation.

Well... If this isn't a textbook example of a generic, unremarkable first person shooter, then I don't know what is. Everything about it is utterly pedestrian that I pretty much forgot all about it as soon as I switched off.
Set in the near future where the USA has disintegrated under the weight of a broken economy and has been invaded and occupied by the armies of a powerful and newly united Korean Republic, you play a former military pilot who is railroaded into joining the resistance as they carry out a grand plan to strike a major blow against the occupying forces. Yes, this is basically the movie Red Dawn or last generation's Freedom Fighters with a more modern bent. The plot is wafer thin, dumb as a brick and proves immediately forgettable by the end.
The game itself is just... bland. The controls are identical to Call of Duty, lifted straight over with no differences. However Homefront isn't nearly as smooth or precise to control as any CoD game you can think of. The levels are linear, unimaginative and filled with tedious drawn out fights with endlessly respawning enemies and capped off with a small group of soldiers you are constantly travelling with who serve as a ridiculously patronising hand holding device, endlessly spelling out every action you need to take right down to when you should make your move to sneak up on enemies during stealth sequences. This game treats the player as though they were an imbecile. There are also sequences of 'plot' in here where you just do stuff like walk around settlements and camps talking to people that drag on way too long and during which your character moves at half speed, making these sequences slow, boring chores to get through. Even with this padding, the single player mode is insultingly brief, at around four and a half hours to run through. The multiplayer, what little I tried of it, seemed again as some sort of CoD like affair, just less responsive, less smooth and with some atrcious connection problems. This is not a game that represents good value for money.
Visually, the game is messy. Some decent texturework and performance maybe, but some jagged nastiness and pop up, with aiming at far targets proving difficult on some occasions given how difficult they can be to see. Soundwork is likewise... unremarkable music, competent voice acting... it's no technical marvel.
I am outright baffled by how easy on this game the "professional" reviewers have been, giving it above average scores almost across the board when I'd say the game would be punching above it's weight to shoot for below average at best. The game itself isn't outright terrible perhaps, but it is painfully bland, generic and dull to play, being something I would lump in with the Turoks and Timeshifts of this world: Not worth full price in a million years, but if you can score it for a tenner or less, it'll provide some amusement for a brief while so long as you set your sights low.
Simply not worth what's being asked here.

As many of you have already quoted, there are many flaws with this game, now i feel like a fool for buying it too! I was suckered in by some crafty advertising (every time I clicked on PS3 games, it was there) and the possibility of an amazing FPS. Im not a massive fan of FPS but i was very interested in the storyline (which on paper sounds pretty good) so though why not! The graphics are shocking, I played Medal of Honour:Frontline on my PS2 recently and they are no better (if not worse), to be honest I would say that MOH:FL is a far superior game to this pile of rubbish. It just looks messy and jumpy on scene, with the Gameplay and controls being very poor.
Only got it yesterday, now im off to the shops to trade it in for something worth playing!!

I am writing this review having just completed the single player campaign on the game. Overall, I felt that the story and ideas were portrayed fairly well. The themes that run through this game are somewhat similar to the missions on Modern Warfare 2 in that you are defending the US from an invasion force, however this game definitely has more of a 'family' theme running through it, in that the people you are fighting with have clearly been together, fighting for a considerable amount of time.
After reading early review, which commented in the shortness of the single player mode I can see what they mean, the end of the story is rather abrupt, but it didn't really leave me feeling that I had been cheated in anyway. THQ have clearly left themselves open to creating a sequel to this game if they feel like it, and in a way it would be interesting to see the rammifications of the games ending. As far as graphics go, they're not the best you'll see, but I found that after a while i'd gotten over it, and began to enjoy the game for what it is. This is definitely not a game changer as far as FPS's go, but it's good in that it is trying to move forward, and bring the genre into a new style of storytelling. The story is actually the strongest part of the game, and the eerily nostrodamus like look into our future. Overall, the single player mode is solid, but does have it's flaws. I would probably suggest that people rent the game rather than buy, but that is before I take on the multiplayer aspect.
