  I played this game on console and thought it was OK. I bought it in a bundle and thought the game was much better with a keyboard and mouse but way to short. When the game ends it feels like it is just getting good. It is very interesting playing a game where America has already been invaded, and parts of the game are very brutal and shocking. While I feel the game is too short (another level or 2 would have been perfect) if you can find this game on sale, it worth playing it for single player. There are bugs, multiplayer is dead, and too short. 7/10

  Great game, had a lot of fun with it. The campaign is not very long, but the showdown and many events are of epic scale. Fighting on american soil against a korean invasion is simply a good setting.

  Solid shooting, decent premise. Single player campaign is pretty short, even for me and I like short(ish) games. I don't feel that the story held up to the premise that it set forth at the begining but not bad. If you can pick this up on the cheap (and you usually can) it isn't the worst way to spend a couple hours. I am giving it a thumbs up, but again, I suggest getting it in the $5 or less range.

  I own collector's edition that came with a scarf Scarf is surprisingly nice Seriously, it's warm and comfortable, I didn't expect something of high quality from a collector's edition of the game that was not on a disk already Game is nice too. Singleplayer is ok but multiplayer is great. A mix between battlefield and call of duty, taking best parts of both games.

  A war has come to the western world. The gas prices are impossible for even a super power to maintain, people go hungry, the American mid-west has suffered a terrible toxic spill, people live in tent cities, they are forced to work their lives away for people who don't even see them as humans and a war, seemingly without end, has exhausted supplies, manpower and hope. Those in occupied zones are executed, "re-educated" or conscripted. Bridges are destroyed to halt supplies and vehicles, cities are destroyed and both sides are victims to retaliatory war crimes, in the form of executions or bombings of civilian centers. And how did this happen? Oh, and the enemy is not above holding nuclear power plants hostage or deliberately causing a meltdown to force a capitulation. Well, there was also A far East Asian-originated pandemic, that may or may not have a deliberate origin, that has also plunged most into poverty, killed millions and ended the prospects of dreams, in favor of feverish, jingoistic desires for revenge, some of it manifesting in hate crimes toward east asian expats. Meanwhile, those who have been waiting for this day since before the Y2K scare hold close to their guns and have only a loyalty to themselves. All of this riding on the back of decades of fatigue fighting in the MIddle East, eventually leading to escalations from Iran in Iraq as America gradually pulls out its involvement in MENA based operations. This is... 2023. But it is also! The surprisingly prophetic set up to Homefront! If all of that sounded interestingly, sadly it is not as prevalent as you would think in the game itself. This is one of the few games (besides Spec Ops the Line, that ALSO has many similarities I will go into later) where the pick-ups/intel lore expositions elevate the plot significantly and are actually worth reading. While the intel in Spec Ops the Line elevated an already legendary story to its higher peaks for attentive players, Homefront's most interesting and easy to invest-into plot points are actually in these random newspaper clippings that prove to be more engaging. The concept itself of North Korea becoming an Imperial-Japan-like superpower in the Pacific is pure fantasy: reunifiying the Koreas and holding its neighbors economically hostage while also resorting to nuclear terrorism by causing nuclear reactor failures in not only Japan, but the American-midwest, while strong arming Singapore, Thailand and others into this suspiciously familiar "sphere of prosperity" under Juche. But what makes it interesting is how well the writers justified these turn-by-turn, 'what if scenarios'... it is just a shame the gameplay itself hardly explains any of it. This game is a product of its time and controls okayish, on keyboard and mouse. It isn't as smooth as COD and it isn't as pretty as COD, and COD does everything it does better, but for a cheap price and perhaps being included in a purchased bundle with its sequel, this is worth a playthrough or two. The story is, despite being marketed as such, barely written by the man who made the cheesy but beloved Cold War action flick "Red Dawn". He more or less just tossed in some ideas and some other writers, as well as creative advisors of Chinese and Korean descent, more or less came together and brought this story to life. However, the Red Dawn creator apparently did write a tie-in-book (as in, also barely contributed anything to it) about American reporters in the North Korean occupied-States around events in the game (or before?) and from what I can tell, it has some solid reviews and is generally considered good. Rather than telling you in depth what this game does wrong, as truly, its characters are rather forgettable, allow me to just say that its often the characters themselves that drag the plot to crawl. The characters are dull, rather uninspired despite having a few good moments and character quirks to them, but when a side character who is barely in the game has a better presence for one sentence of backstory exposition in the game's worst level, you may have made a dull cast... But the presentation is interesting and despite the cringe, despite the edginess and the hilarious unlikeliness of so many parts of... all of it, there is something to be enjoyed here. It has a scene that makes the future COD Advanced Warfare's "Press f to pay respects" seem like Bret Easton Ellis political satire mastery, when this game has a fully unironic and dead serious scene in which you press a key to hide among a mass grave. (when I think about it, we briefly see an antagonist in this scene who I assumed would be the final big bad, who also appears in the very beginning, but after this he literally never shows up again and I can't help but feel that is a plot hole) The game is short, the pacing is slow and yet the progression of events is fast. It has some decent sections and the vehicle oriented ones don't overstay their welcome too much. The shocking scenes sometimes become hilarious, work well enough until a cheesy cartoon character of a side protagonist makes a quip or scene afterwards that ruins the set up or overplays it, or, my favourite, it actually does something incredibly effective. The first level's intro takes a bite from Modern Warfare 1's "ride along" environmental story telling, and it also would be borrowed again from this game in Far Cry 4, but this game has a brief scene (in the otherwise hilariously evil montage of North Korean oppression of Americans) of a young boy sobbing rather horrifically as he witnesses his parents get executed. The sound was so jarring it visibly upset someone in the room with me and they had become suddenly interested in this game for a split second. Later on in the same level, you actively protect a mother and her crying infant, as North Korean infantry flood the household you had unknowingly led them to. The sounds of a woman begging for help, while a baby cries and bullets split the air between a conventional military police force and resistance fighters is surprisingly effective, but the length of this occurrence cheapens the event into what it is - shameless shock. This game surely does have an agenda and while its intel drops at times have actually very accurate descriptions and sensible takes on ethnic/religious tensions in the Middle East or the legitimacy of Juche in terms of how it is followed and how Juche has become a convenient tool for North Korea to hold onto its autocratic dictatorship driven rule - while other segments are nearly far right rants that come off as nearly conspiracy but fit well into the theme of these being American newspapers before and during the occupation. The game does critique how ethnic thin the line is between resistance and terrorism, but only a bit during a very familiar White Phosphorous scene and the fact that one of the major tag-along characters being considerably a cartoon character of an American civic nationalist resistance fighter. Some of the game's characters and their aesthetics feels like it could have easily been produced by actual North Koreans with their only basis of knowledge on what an American resistance would look like being their own propaganda... and the film Red Dawn. My advice: don't take this game too seriously, enjoy the set pieces and the shooting and just have fun, especially if you buy it for cheap or nearly free. An amusingly tragic irony is that we get a look at a North Korean labour camp, of Americans bundled into a variety of tents, while some writhe on the ground due to drug use (you can also talk to a dealer briefly, who smokes a cigarette the entire time, only for him to tell you to fuck off, throw his cigarette away, spawn the same half-smoked cigarette in his hand and light it again) and it honestly doesn't look too different from some of those youtube videos of people walking around Seattle, WA or Skidrow in Los Angeles. This game has White Castle and Hooters.

  Meh - what a staged on rails irritating game! Graphics great. Shooting all well and good. But I cannot describe how much I hate being led around by stupid npc companions showing me (in your face) and describing how horrible war is. It is just so boring. I wanted to shoot every one of them and get on with it on my own. Now a setting like this, no matter the silliness of it all, merged with open world and S.T.A.L.K.E.R quality shooting and atmosphere - that could be something! Homefront has some rather good production values. But on-rail shooters like this in addition to being led on a leash by moronic npc's is just awful to play.

  Good Multiplayer and Maps , pretty well balanced weapon (exept for the 870 ¬¬). Maybe now the MP is dead but It was very fun until it lasted.
