Cool alternate history setting, campaign not overstaying its welcome. The online was pretty fun, but I did not stick around, and neither did the rest of the server population.

I would rather Step on a nail than complete this game again

Generic but the setting is cool. Love to see North Korean some representation!

Dude how are u gonna shoot like that, get that out of your face


Crazy product placement, insane tone. There's a "dramatic" scene where the heroes use white phosphorus on the baddies and they start wilhelm screaming, very deep! Aside from that, Chapter 3 and 6 were pretty fun. I'm a sucker for vehicle levels in FPS campaigns.

The first half is really good, the rest is.....uhhh.....something....

Beat on normal difficulty and guerrilla (hardest). This game is a bit of a guilty pleasure shooter, I'll admit.

At its core, Homefront is a pretty bang average military shooter. It does have a couple of neat scenes and sections going for it that can help break up some of the monotony of the mediocre shooting, and the concept is at least somewhat interesting relative to other military shooters. That said, a lot of small faults make it really annoying to play. Friendlies constantly body-block you which can make for aggravating deaths, often times you're railroaded into following behind your friendlies which means standing still for a minute while they catch up with you and open a door or climb a ladder, there's a couple of occasions where you'll suddenly get hit with an RPG out of the blue and have no real time to react, enemies will frequently have higher ground while you're put in an awful position, small things but they all compound to make for a bit of a chore gameplay wise. The characters are also all pretty annoying, there isn't a single one I was particularly fond of and they also repeat voice lines A LOT if you don't immediately do an objective. Not something I see myself playing again, but the gunplay is at least tolerable and the latter half of the game is a bit more fun than the former. If you're keen on military shooters, it might be up your alley, but if you're looking for an especially good tactical FPS game, I would look elsewhere.

Very short and not quite memorable. I remember enjoying playing it the first time through though.

Unfortunately it didn't do so hot in sales with a short campaign.

It had a lot of potential to compete against COD/BF if it was done better. I like this game a lot however.. usually return to play its campaign.

Also has no bots so the MP is dead, bots should be default.

Tomorrow when the war began but America

Had a few bright spots, like the stealth mission through the trailer park with the Asian team member, but largely just generic poor man's COD MW2. (the original) Only issue with trying to be COD is that this game has an even shorter campaign with very little weapon variety.

Plusy: niezła grafika, świeże podejście do fabuły militarnych shooterów, sporo giwer
Minusy: długość kampanii, średniawy model strzelania, kilka problemów z dźwiękiem

É uma ótima desculpa pra usar drogas pesadas.

Honestly it's kind of a generic COD/Battlefield competitor of the time, but the multiplayer was fun, and the single player campaign was a decent romp that you could clear in a day or two.

Homefront is a true movie video game. What was probably meant to be a movie, was shoveled onto GameStop shelves as an underrated yet not-good war game... 𝟔𝟏/𝟏𝟎𝟎

Getting into a shoot out in front of a Hooters to save America

Anti DPRK propaganda.
Doesn't play well.
Waste of time.

Errh... has potential? The ending was pretty abrupt, especially with how short the whole game is. Some set pieces were surprisingly dark but then it's like potential that's never fully realized. Otherwise, another one into the bin of pretty generic on-the-rails military gallery shooters.

Moins de 4h de campagne, on sent le jeu coupé en plein milieu.
Ça manque de spectaculaire (genre ça bougeait enfin à la dernière mission), malgré une idée de base intéressante.
Pas non plus un étendard graphique, c'est un FPS ultra générique.
Du sous-CallOf meh.

i have the sudden urge to go to white castle

Not a bad game but it isn’t memorable at all. The beginning news segment is awesome though. The opening scene that shows the brutality of North Korea is horrible though.

Homefront (2011): Basura infecta. Propaganda en forma de película en la que a veces te dejan disparar. La historia es ridícula e incoherente, aunque lo peor es cómo te toma por estúpido, poniendo un personaje guía permanente para que no te pierdas en sus pasillos lineales (1,50)

Homefront's 2 hour campaign was a silly joke but this game had one of the most promising multiplayer components of any game on the cryengine.


I remember it was a game I used to play many years ago when I was a kid. There's nothing special about it. It looks like a combination of Crysis and Call of Duty Modern Warfare. But I can say that it's much better than the second game.

Interesting setting and concept but insanely short!

Game was a free giveaway. Why the hell did I install it?

(Played before 2023)
How generic and short do you want a game to be?
