24 March 20117.0/10If you're contemplating Homefront as an inclusive package, forget it. Consider it to be a better-than-expected multiplayer distraction at best, and wait for E3 in June to see if we get an apology for the campaign and an explanation as to how the sequel will be better. Read more

10/10Homefront: The Voice of Freedom - a sci-fi thriller with back story to the upcoming Homefront game. The year is 2027. Her infrastructure shattered and military in disarray, America has fallen to a savage occupation by the nuclear armed Greater Korean Republic. Abandoned by her former allies, the United States is a bleak landscape of walled towns and abandoned suburbs. Read more

18 March 20115.8/10The real tragedy of Homefront is that it’s not a terrible game. While my score may suggest otherwise, the campaign really should be played for the core things it does right and the multiplayer has enough potential to reward patient players. Unfortunately, there are too many glaring flaws with the game -- both technical and in terms of design -- that drag it back from the heights that it was clearly aiming for. Read more
- Fantastic narrative, Some jaw-dropping grittiness, Some epic cinematic moments, Fantastic immersion in parts, Some great multiplayer ideas...
- ...but poorly executed, Immersion-destroying bugs, Dated graphics, Short campaign, Confused design in regards to realism, Server browser woes

15 March 20117.0/10The diverse mechanics that combine to make Homefront's multiplayer what it is may be familiar to genre veterans, but they are well integrated and achieve a nice balance. Matches in Homefront don't feel quite like matches in other games, and there's enough depth here to fuel plenty of hours of combat. Yet, the best part of Homefront is the thoughtful and thorough vision of the future laid out by the campaign. Read more
- Unflinching representation of military occupation, Some very memorable moments, Well-crafted online multiplayer.
- Very short campaign ends abruptly, Action feels overly familiar, Multiplayer makes no use of intriguing setting.

Reviewer: ubique007, BigPond GameArena20 January 2011As dojogamo says, watch your download. I currently run two homefront server, I am just waiting for them to come to an end so I can close them. The game is a generous 3/10 Save your money. I still run the servers which are empty most days, My Clan mates ( 30+ ) have also given the game away and no longer play it. Read more
