I had high expectations for Homefront. I read previews & reviews that described Homefront as quote "A hybrid between call of duty, and battlefield". Well... I will be the first to tell you, Homefront does not hold a candle to either one of the mentioned titles. Any reviewer who states this claim disrespects both the creators of call of duty and battlefield.
Homefront has some of the shotiest controls I have seen in a modern FPS, second only to Alien Vs. Predator in my opinion.
The lag between when you press the stick to move, to when you actually move is too obvious a setback to be ignored. The gun play is totally generic, offering nothing new at all. The tossing of grenades feels so fake and out of your control that a lot of the time while playing, I was tossing the grenade far off from where I wanted it to go.
The story which has been touted more than any other trait of this game is a complete joke. There is almost no more depth to the story than, "Uhh the Koreans have invaded, and its really lame. Lets shoot some dudes."
Homefront blatantly attempts to steal attributes from it's most successful peers, and worst of all, it can't even do that right. Also, the team behind Homefront requires that you actually pay them $60 to play there terrible, under-developed, generic, rip off of a game's multiplayer. That's right! If you want to enjoy what could be the ONLY semi-enjoyable feature of Homefront, you've got to purchase a new copy of the game or pay 800 Microsoft points for a verification code!
Homefront gets a 2 out of 10 in my book. Due to bad, un-fun, choppy, generic game play. As Well as a mediocre story that brags about plot that isn't there. I would never recommend this game, and will discourage all from renting or buying it.
