Homefront PC Review: Tom's Hardware Guide Turkey

Tom's Hardware Turkey Writes:

Despite of all those ambitious claims and the hype created, the single player experience of Homefront becomes a prey to a weak story and simple copy pastes from the modern warfare shooter games on the market. But there is still a solid multiplayer FPS experience out there. If you are looking for a good alternative to Battlefield or Call of Duty’s multiplayer experience Homefront is ready for you to hit the shelves and get a score of 85 from us. But if you are looking for a dramatic single player experience with solid storyline it won’t be enough even if you spell this score from backwards.

0/100!

[Istanbull]

I'm Turkish and if you guys want a translation, just hit me up.

I felt the guy, game is so bad that I had tears in my eyes reading the review lol.

[Johandevries]

I'd appreciate the translation because I want to read the harsh criticism that this reviewer seems to have for the SP, and so do you

[SnakeShady]

0/100 FTW!

[gravemaker]

honest review

[Blacktric]

Description is in English, but the full review is in Turkish? WTF?

[Johandevries]

Ginger kid is fluent in Turkish

[Blacktric]

Cause that's where I live. AND GINGERS DO HAVE SOULS!

[gorebago]

The doctor's always wanted to be a ginger

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Agreed with the WTF? This is an English language website...why are we approving stories linked to Turkish review that's not even a translated link? For all I know that description and very suspect 0/100 SP score are just made up. N4G again showing the world the finest in journalism

[Cloudberry]

.
The single player review is 0 / 100???

[rajman]

lol 0/10.
The campaign is bad though, I'd give it a 5/10. Ridiculously short, alot of glitches and probably the worst FPS campaign ive played in recent years, I completed it on my 1st attempt in 3 hours 20 mins, proof:

But the Multiplayer is quite fun, played a few hours and was surprised that I liked it. Multiplayer 8/10

[Johandevries]

Emphasize please.

[humbleopinion]

And on what difficulty level did you complete the game? Do you have the achievements to back it up?

[rajman]

Normal difficulty, I included the playlist above of my playthrough. Proof I completed it is there.

[gorebago]

Length is almost unforgivable

Almost

[KingPin]

so even though there is single player, its really short and really awful. yeah, remind me again why the hell they even bothered with the single player? hell, by the review itself, if this was just a multiplayer only game <MAG comes to mind> it wouldve scored 85!! before it was multiplayer being tacked on, now its the single player. that blows horse balls!

[Nodoze]

Not only did they bother with single player, they actually paid someone to author it (the guy that did Red Dawn).

What a waste!!

[hellzsupernova]

yeah so i was expecting a good story it probably has a good story but since hes use to writing movies maybe he got the lenght a bit wrong lol

[AllroundGamer]

yeah the singleplayer is really crap, buy this game only for the MP...

[DrHouse]

0/100? Surely you jest!

[wenaldy]

The SP seemed 'flat'... Btw, I hate when KPA troops killed parents and their son crying... Very disturbing...

They're trying too hard with the story...

[Johandevries]

I cried when Harry Potter's parents were killed

[Axonometri]

Wouldn't a 0/100 be only possible if there was literally no content? Then again, there sure are a lot of 100/100 reviews for some years now. I guess if a game can be absolutely perfect, I guess another game can be absolute fail.

[HapLo]

Well...From the review, you can say the singleplayer side of the game is about 55/100. And the multiplayer side of the game is very much like Frontlines that came out a few years ago from the same studio.So there's nothing like 0/100.Just...no numbering,that's all. :)

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Sorry but any site that is going to pull a MP gets 85/100 but SP gets 0/100 for the "summary" here at N4G is rubish and looking for cheap site hits as from all I can tell in that review there is no mentioning of such scores. I put absolutely ZERO credibility or Value is this hack's review.

[evrfighter]

um tom's probably gets twice as much hits than n4g. Take a look into their boards to understand why.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

@evrfighter... LOL...try again my friend. N4G dwarfs that site according to Alexa.com

http://www.alexa.com/sitein...

http://www.alexa.com/sitein...

[feelingtheblank]

since it's a Turkish only website its normal. N4G is publishing contents in English... Try that maybe?

http://www.alexa.com/sitein...

And its already mentioned with an update that the 0/100 is a typo. If you carefully read the summary you can understand it easily too. No specific scoring for SP, just implying it's around 50..

[feelingtheblank]

As you can see from the summary there's no numbering for the single player side. So its not 0, just around 50 if you read the summary. It's a typo and i hope N4G stuff corrects it as soon as they see. :)

It's too much of a gamble to think an unknown new IP, regardless of how much Microsoft marketing weight is behind it will thrive in the realm of shooters. With a total buster single player offering, you might be stuck with a game a few months from now that has nobody playing it online, and regardless how neato it is it sucks if nobody is playing it. I would say you might be okay picking up the 360 version since MS got the exclusive map. It looks like 360 fans can claim it to be their game and will probably support it because THQ sided with them, but it's a risk to buy the PS3 version because the game has a suck ass single player and THQ doesn't care about the PS3 with this game so PS3 owners will sense that and the multiplayer games on PS3 will be empty in a month or 2 because the not caring goes both ways

[hellzsupernova]

that map is atimed exclusives after 6 weeks the ps3 and pc version get it too. but yeah i agree the 360 fans will eat this and crysis 2 up until CoD and Gears 3 at the end of the year.

[OGharryjoysticks]

actually the timed exclusive deal on 360 is for the future DLC maps. 360 will get any new maps first. 360 also gets an exclusive map called "suburbs", and from my understanding that one map is and will remain exclusive.

[hellzsupernova]

no its for this map too the "exclusive" one it comes with at first is also timed

"Update: It looks like the PlayStation 3 will be getting the "Suburb" map afterall. Speaking with Erin Daly, a designer on the multiplayer portion of Homefront, the PS3 owners will get access to the map... they'll just have to be patient"
