ShockblastMedia.com: Homefront Review

From ShockblastMedia.com: "Homefront is a game that had the best of intentions, but in the end, flat out failed in the delivery. This is one of the most disappointing video games I have ever purchased, and that is truly unfortunate, because I really wanted this game to be good and I was really excited for it. I am glad I bought it though, because it really makes me question the ethics of those in the “media” that are clearly sucking up to stay in THQ’s good graces by giving this positive reviews. I just don't see it. It's not possible. If anyone wants to talk up the powerful story and imagery involved in Homefront, they can join me at the front of the line, but once you get beyond all of that, you are still left with an average shooter with graphics that make it virtually unplayable. I don’t see a chance in hell that there will ever be a Homefront 2, and that is truly unfortunate, because this was a franchise I was hoping to get behind. "

Oh come on. Now that's just ridicolous. If you only judge it by the SP then it's at lowest a 6. With the MP being as good as it is I'd give the full game an 8 or 8.5.

Multiplayer is one of the worst I've ever played. Garbage.

MP isnt that bad. Its been fun for me. SP story is amazing though. Well in my eyes it is. A little short, but it is keeping me interested..

Homefront tried to be like CoD. How the hell is that having the best intentions?

So... Kaos Studios did a lot of talking up their product and missed the mark, next up Crytek.

The single player was short-- but the MP isn't that bad at all, I really dig it. You say it's garbage, but another mans trash is another mans treasure. It isn't trying to be like COD-- any FPS you play online is a rip off of a rip off, I'll say it-- FUCK BLACK OPS-- I dig Home Front, I really hope there is part 2-- which I'll bet their will be. If and there will be part 2-- you'll be the first one jumping on the nuts of the game talking about how it improved and it's graphics are better but it's no call of duty-- NO it ain't a call of duty-- it's home front.

Now I really cant wait to play this game, because I know this game is not a 4.

Even if you were expecting something different, even if it falls short of lofty ambitions, a 4 is game that is fundamentally broken. A 4 is a game with a 15 ps frame rate, and goes left when you push right.

From what I've read from people who could put aside the fact "its trying to be CoD", the story is excellent. A bit short, but really well told. Gee, since Killzone 3 came out, I was under the impression the story was the most important part of a FPS.

Bu bu but "Its trying to be CoD" !
Yeah, its a military themed shooter. Its a FPS in an urban setting. Its going to have similarities. But thats it. Its trying to carve into own niche with a solid single player experience.

I can remember vividly when every FPS, and I mean EVERY single FPS, from Hexen to Duke Nukem was labelled a Doom Clone. God that would sh*t me. Doom helped establish a genre. Doesnt make every FPS a clone of it, anymore than Tekken is a Street Fighter II clone.
