Homefront Review | Game Critics

GC: Set in the near future when a mass of global crises somehow enables a united Korea to conquer most of the United States, the player is cast as a revolutionary trying to help fight back. The plot is so thin Tom Clancy himself would probably be put to shame, and that isn't the worst part-I've played games with awful stories before and lived to tell about it. The most insulting thing about Homeftont is how it constantly tries to trick the player into believing it's special.

F'off with your bullshit review. 3?...Go get site hits elsewhere

[jriquelme_paraguay]

the truth hurts

[RankFTW]

This game is not a 3, more a 7.

[chasegarcia]

A 3/10 seems low. I will give it 5/10.

[DelbertGrady]

I'd give the SP a 4/10 and the MP a 9/10. It's like two separate games.

[bumnut]

change it to a 4/10 and a 6/10 and I will give you an agree :)

"Homeftont"

There is a run on sentence that doesn't really make much sense. Thin plots somehow put Tom Clancy to shame? Huh? You've lived through games with awful stories? Trying to trick the player into believing that the game is special is the most insulting thing about it? Why is there so much drama being flogged about here? Can we talk about the game and not how it violates some imaginary social contract about how games are supposedly properly expected to do things?

Could you please at least proof read your ridiculous crap "controversy-drama" reviews before you post them ?

I've never played the game. mainly because of being unimpressed by the new screens and videos, but also because I am getting tired of FPS's, but I find it hard to believe that you, Palaeomerus, can find no logic in what the author was saying.

The CONCEPT of homefront is neat. but it sounds as though the execution of certain plot elements make it much more exaggerated than it already is.

Black Ops had a fun story; but the intense soundtrack and slow motion and the screaming and blood flying all over the place can't hide the sheer implausibility of plot and story arc.

I think of movies that take a unique situation and turn it into a wannabe tear-jerker for no reason whatsoever, as if the simple plot enforced the melodrama as it plays out.

I think of the SAW series, 300, Matrix Trilogy and just about every spaghetti western out there to better illustrate my point, which is quite obvious.

Ok Im usually not one to come and defend a game if someone gives it a low score.

But a 3!!! WTF!!!

A 3 is for a game like Battle LA. And even I would rate that a 3....a 4 or 5.

Homefront is NOT a 3 out of 10. A 3 is for a game that is unplayable and not fun...a game that is horrible on ALL levels.

Me personally I would say a sold 7. Good but not great.

DOnt want to knock this guys opinion but a THREE (3)???

[Der_Kommandant]

Nice Score

[DrHouse]

of course you would say that I hope thats sarcassm

[moeqawama]

I'm not surprised... This site has always tried to come off as if their reviews carry alot of weight to them and really legitimate, but all you need to do is go back and look at all of their awful reviews and you'll realize why they are such a joke. I myself bought homefront and traded it in to get crysis 2, and although the game was not my cup of tea, I would still give it a 6 or 7/10. Screw them and their "opinions"

[KrystofKage1]

Worst. Review. Ever.

You cannot give a game a low score because you didn't think the story was believable. If that was the case almost all games would get below a 5.

To top it off it looks like the review has been pulled. Gold! Even the site owners seem to think they were being douchebags.

[mcstorm]

I would not give this game a 3. Ok its not on the same level as MoH, BFBC2 or even COD in SP but the MP is quite fun. It reminds me of COD online but I like this game online where I dont like COD.

The SP is very short and the way you have to wait for every one on the game to walk up a ladder before you or pass a checkpoint is annoying but I think if they decided to do a homefront 2 they will have looked at things like this and have quite a good platform to build on.
