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.

| 70 of 83 people found the following review helpful  Good idea, but you're never given a reason to care., By Defleshuary "World Devourer" (Amishville, PA) - See all my reviews = Fun: This review is from: Homefront (Video Game) Homefront was hyped up for a long time. I fed into the hype and got way excited that it may actually deliver an amazing story and have gameplay that ups the Call of Duty ante. Rarely do I buy games on release day and unfortunately I've been reminded why. Homefront is a game with excellent ideas, but just fails to fully realize those ideas.Here's the campaign in a nutshell: A quick montage showing Korean unifying, US deteriorating, Korea taking over the world and occupying the US. Things are bad, very bad, Cut to you (a faceless person that has hardly any back story and barely talks) getting arrested by the Korean regime, you're shown horrifying scenes as you're taken away, members of the Resistance (who somehow know more about you than you know about yourself) free you, barely introduce themselves, throw you a gun, and tell you to just start shooting. All of this happens repeatedly with small scenes interspersed to try and make you feel emotion and hate the Koreans. It...

Unfortunately I fed into the media blitz put on for this game. Big mistake!The story is visceral and engaging but not for the faint of heart. Much of the imagery is disturbing and gruesome. What was there was pretty well done for an initial release, but there just wasn't much there. I was just getting the feel for the game when the campaign/single player ended. I was in shock as it was only my second session with the game, meaning I finished it in under 5 hours. At this point I moved on to the online campaign. After selecting XBox Live I was prompted for to purchase or redeem an online code. What?! I just bought the game why would I need a code. Its not a PC, its a console, this is odd. But sure enough I found in my game case the required online access code. Without this code you can only play up to level 5 in multiplayer... Read more 96 of 120 people found the following review helpful Great Concept, Poor Execution, By DMK (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Homefront (Video Game) Homefront is a great concept, one that most game studios don't want to take on -- bringing the war from overseas to the United States itself. Its happened before, including in portions of a recent Call of Duty release, but not to the degree that Homefront does. Unfortunately, the great story doesn't carry the game. The graphics feel like something that was released 3-4 years ago and the feel of the game is clunky overall. The guns feel good and shoot well, but that's about all its got going for it. The story is also way too short, 7 chapters that run a total of about 5 hours. There's stuff you can go back for achievement wise, but no more than 2 play throughs.As for the multiplayer, it wasn't anything spectacular, but I did have fun playing it. It just doesn't seem like its going to have the staying power of some of the other big release FPS games out today. The game comes with a code that unlocks the full multiplayer and its a one time use code. If you sell your game to a... Read more |
