first impressions of homefront

The first thing I did when I got Homefront was start the campaign and to begin with looks amazing with a bus journey through part of a town showing all the horrors of the north Korean occupation of the us, but before that there is a brilliant cut scene telling the years up to the game start starting with Kim Jon ill dying and his son Kim Jon un taking control then uniting both north and south Korea and later launching an EMP over the us to eventually invade the us.

The campaign after that becomes very annoying, while in some cases you get to control of a goliath tank but simply targeting enemies is a problem as there are usually a lot and all seem to be firing at you it is very hard to use the targeter as it takes so long to target vehicles and when you finally press the fire button you die from a mysterious grenade that you didn’t even see.

The multiplayer though is brilliant with 32 player battles and with the use of battle points acquired in game to purchase drones, airstrikes and vehicles to aid your side making the game more like battlefield bad company 2 then call of duty in the science that there is more tactics then simply running around lobbing grenades at people.

My first impressions of Homefront is a game that the developers half way through production of the single player decided to move onto multiplayer and decide to include a battle code which you have to put in if you want to get passed level 5 in multiplayer. I have no idea why but it’s there. My review will be coming shortly as will a review of crisis and crisis warhead and soon crisis 2.
