Homefrontis 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.

Homefront
Homefront really surprised me. The story is very good, and you will definitely remember some scenes, due to how they're presented - in a very natural and drastic way, showing how bad the war can be, and is. The single player game-play and shooting is also great, and to be honest, from my point of view, the game as a whole, can compete with the Call of Duty series.

You need to scream wolverines
The single player adds a good script (sometimes it resembles red dawn, but that's positive, it's something COD is making all the time, quoting the movie) and the violence that the game offers in the clip kicks the player and a sense of justice emmerges in a spiral and makes you never have a doubt about the job that is need to do. The game doesn't allow you to choose a dificulty level and that's very good. You either do it or not. And if you don't just get over it. The multi player is also very good and you can make a difference in your team if you play it in smart and cunning way. All players that like cod, halo, batllefield must play this game. *

Homefront: The war in on the American soil now!
War on American soil isn't a foreign concept for first-person shooters, but few do it with the grim dedication of Homefront. Its chilling vision of life in occupied America is vividly illustrated through lengthy scenes that depict the brutality of military subjugation and the desperation of its victims. This thoroughly developed setting is one of the most engaging the genre has seen in a while, making the campaign worthwhile despite its run-of-the-mill action and unsatisfying length. There is some longevity, however, to be found in Homefront's competitive online multiplayer. The campaign kicks off with a montage chronicling the next 15 years. As gas shortages lead to civil unrest, the United States weakens while across the Pacific, new expansionist leadership leads North Korea into a golden age. This video paints a satisfyingly plausible picture, and collectible clippings throughout the campaign flesh things out even more. With every image of a bread line and article about the consolidation of America's armed forces, it gets easier and easier to suspend your disbelief. As Homefront's vision of the future becomes more believable, the events of the campaign hit closer to home. The setting is the standout in Homefront's campaign, though the story is more of a tour through this rich scenario than a compelling journey in its own right. The characters who accompany you the whole time have a few good bits of dialogue and create some dramatic moments, but they aren't developed well enough to make you really care about them. This detachment can help you overlook the occasional friendly AI blunders, but don't expect your companions to carry much weight. As in many modern shooters, you are the workhorse. The action itself is solid and proceeds at a pace that steadily intensifies as small shootouts give way to larger skirmishes. An explosive mid-campaign climax leads into a stealthy infiltration, and a much-foreshadowed vehicle sequence near the end delivers nicely. Despite the fact that you are a small resistance force, you scrounge a variety of powerful guns from the enemy, giving you a substantial (and satisfying) arsenal. Homefront gives lip service to things like having to be frugal with ammunition and getting creative to avoid patrols, but it mostly plays out like a standard, linear shooter campaign. It's a shame that the action isn't really on the same wavelength as the setting, but the environments you traverse reinforce your grim situation well. Though Homefront isn't a beautiful game, there are a lot of thoughtful details that provide echoes of earlier conflict and show different stages of societal breakdown. There are some issues with screen-tearing and characters clipping through solid objects, but on the whole the visuals are equal to the task. Unfortunately, the campaign wraps up around the five-hour mark. That may not seem terribly short by modern-shooter campaign standards, but what makes it worse is not that you are left wanting more; it's that you are left expecting more. By spending a lot of time on quality exposition in the early going, Homefront's campaign sets itself up for a longer story arc, but it doesn't deliver. It's an unpleasant surprise when things wrap up so abruptly, but it is still a very memorable campaign. Homefront's competitive multiplayer, on the other hand, seems primed to be just another also-ran right from the get-go. With only two core game modes (Team Deathmatch and Capture and Hold) playable in two variations, the options are few. The loadout screen will be instantly familiar to anyone who has played a Call of Duty game in the past few years, and the online conflicts play out between the KPA and the US Army (rather than the ragtag freedom fighters from the campaign), so the intriguing setting is little more than window dressing. Though its inspirations are obvious, Homefront does a good job of appropriating tried-and-true mechanics. Earning experience, leveling up, increasing your arsenal, and unlocking new infantry abilities (read: perks) is satisfying, and the maps allow a decent range of viable battlefield strategies. My advice is to buy it, more for the campaign...LET'S REJECT THE KNOW AWAY DA US OTHERWISE WE COULD BE THE NEXT!!! =) EnJoY cyberzita

Your own backyard
I love how this game displays scenery which is very similar to many European countries. It makes it easy to relate to how it would be to live in an occupied community with all the horrific graphics added to it. This is a very nice game it has a great flow and after you complete singleplayer you still have many, many hours to spend on multiplayer.

Hit and very big miss
My thoughts in Homefront is that it start's off with ok story but as for the story mode is short but has good numbers of weapons to use but when it come's down to the big gun's you can only use them at points of the game when it makes, which can be annoying. Cutscenes are boring and I have nothing good to say about the AI on the game it's almost like the bad guys want to get shot. What save's the game is the online mode experience large scale multiplayer action and vehicle warfare.

Homefront
The champaign of Homefront is rather short. It will take you around 6-7 hours to complete it. When you're a experienced player you will have no problem at all with the champaign mode. The story mode is not really outstanding or som, it's decent. The best part of Homefront is the Multiplayer. Even though you have the typical multiplayer modes you will definitely have alot of fun playing the multiplayer. With maps which can have about 32-players and the possibilty to use different vehicles, the multiplayer mode is one you should definitely experience.

Good but could be better!
Better than average but very short, Homefront has a good story behind it but lacks the means to present it to players. 4 - 5 hours at the most in single player, multiplayer different than your average FPS so gives it a little depth. 3 stars but nothing more, sadly.
