A fairly short and generic shooter that is a fun ride the whole way through.

User Rating: 7 | Homefront PC
Homefront is the type of single player game that you can install on a lazy sunday afternoon and have it completed and off your system after supper but before you hit the sack. If you expect more from a game than this, I would label this as an automatic pass, because multiplayer never really caught on.

I personally enjoy a good shooter, and I judge the overall experience on quality much more heavily than on quantity. Homefront was a success for me, because the plot and characters held my interest the whole way through. The game was never tedious, but was oftentimes very exciting, and I left the game with a smile on my face.

The game uses a checkpoint save system, and regenerative health. You can carry two weapons at once, and every enemy killed will drop a gun and ammo. This is all the norm in todays shooters.

There are also breaks from FPS action, and they are done so well. There is a level where you pilot a chopper and also a stage where you are the air support and are firing missiles down onto a bridge. There are a few others as well.

I went into this game not expecting much, and left it completely satisfied. I would not say Homefront is a must play game in any stretch of the term, but I WOULD heartily recommend it to avid shooter fans.
