I'm not a graphics whore but.
Goddamn, Homefront looks horrible.
I'm nearing the end of the first disc and I'm not especially blown away. I'm also saddened by the fact that the main cast is pretty forgettable so far. I don't really care about any of them, and I'm a person who can get really attached to JRPG protagonists.
I also typed up a relatively lengthy rant here before deleting it all. I'll judge the game after beating it.
And the shooting is just awful. Christ.
See, I'm a FPS lover who likes to fire virtual guns at anything, but if even someone like me doesn't enjoy Homefront, then there's something definitely wrong with the game.![]()
Medal of Honour had a good shooting mechanic and all, but the story/setting was dull and the multiplayer was awful.See why COD makes it big? At least it's somewhat fun to play, even if people hate it that much, they can't deny it's fun sometimes.

I'm still pretty interested in Homefront but I'm not going to pay more than £10 for it (It's currently going for around £15.)
You know what stopped me buying it for £15? When I heard it was made by the team behind Frontlines Fuel of War. Because fuck, that game is atrocious.
There's a demo for it in the Marketplace, give it a try instead.![]()
I played a tiny bit of it on 360 when it first came out. I thought it was... Alright
I've played some shitty fuckin' FPS games in my time though, so I thought Homefront was pretty OK.
If you want a shitty FPS go play Soldier of Fortune Payback or any of the budget Activision FPS games (Secret Service, Jurassic the Hunted, etc.)![]()
For some reason those games never make it to Mexico for some reason, they don't appear at all in most game stores catalogs.If you want a shitty FPS go play Soldier of Fortune Payback or any of the budget Activision FPS games (Secret Service, Jurassic the Hunted, etc.)
Believe me, a friend and I had a running joke of buying that Secret Service game.![]()
And the first Soldier of Fortune for the PC was amazing back in the day.![]()
