HOME FRONT

REVIEW TODAY

 The single player was no doubt a fun ride. The graphics were classic THQ as well as the movement of the characters. Though it could be clunky at times THQ has done their homework when it comes to this type of fps. The graphics were good. The storyline is great but a bit slow at times. There is no free roaming in this campaign. You must follow your other characters and often have to wait for them to do something to keep the game moving. At times it seems as though the game may be stuck but with patients your comrades will move and open the gate to the next objective. The story line was rather short as well. I wonder when a company is going to develop a fps game which keeps you busy and active for more than 5-6 hours?

I figured since the single player was so short. They must have put some extra attention into the multiplayer. I was right. From the beginning of rank one you notice a slight gain in speed and agility added to your character. Things flow rather nicely into the battlefield modes. You are quickly returned to the game after dying and are ready to roll in seconds with whatever loadout you desire. The Battlepoints System is not only a fun twist to the combat fps ranks but its also a fresh idea that was badly needed in the field of fps's. One thing worth mentioning is the fact these dedicated servers are working great. I played for hours online and never once did the game jump, glitch, or freeze up....Bravo Homefront! One thing I do not want to do is compare this game to other recently popular fps games on the market which have dominated the field. THQ has something original and fresh going on here and if your a fps fan you should check it out.

You did a great job THQ. I must say I had my doubts at first but you guys really did your homework on sound, graphics and storyline. Sure, I would have loved to see a lot more destruction in the game but maybe that's something that could be worked on in the next game. I'm sure there will be one. I got a feeling folks are really going to enjoy your game. Thanks for the good times THQ. I hope you stay on the high road and keep kicking out these fantastic games.
