I am severely disappointed by this game, the back story is great which lead me to believe the story in the game would be great, sadly it was very lacking. Not only is the story some what uninteresting once the game gets started the campaign ends right when it seems like the game is getting good. It took me less than five hours to complete this game and that includes the time it took me to collect 58 out of the 61 collectibles. I now know why this game was delayed by THQ it was because if it was put next to any of the other releases in the past few weeks most people would laugh in disgust at the poor quality that this game oozes from the 1st mission to the 6th..
That's right 6 whole missions 2 of which are extremely quick (ie less than 30 minutes to complete).
The designers make a few claims that are just completely inaccurate, first a statement was made that this will not be a game where you just mow down 100s of enemy characters and in turn you become numb to it. Well that is exactly what you do. The creative director stated that you will be using whatever weapons you can find like hunting rifles that you find in Wal Mart, again not true you use primarily M4's and the like, the closest you come to using a civilian weapon is a shotgun.
The graphics are extremely dated and seem like they belong on a first year 360 game. The people who designed this game have nothing to be proud of as they took an excellent concept for a game and turn out total cr@p.
I thought the multiplayer would be fun though so I attempted to get into a match only to wait 20 minutes for nothing to happen. I left and noticed a message that basically said our dedicated servers have crashed, but don't worry we are working real hard to try to fix them. In reality it claimed that they were just bringing more servers online to handle the traffic. So basically THQ released a game that's main claim to fame I guess was it's multiplayer and then forgot to have enough infrastructure to support the game on it's release date.
I am sorry if this review is all over the place, but as I am so annoyed by all the ruined potential this game had it is hard for me to focus on all of the short comings this game has. To sum it up Homefront is a total let down and as you can beat the campaign of SIX WHOLE MISSIONS in like 5 hours, just rent it. All I have to say to the people involved in this game, you should all be fired and mocked publicly for this total failure of a game that you released.
