"Very Addictive Multiplayer!"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Very impressed with this game! The single player campain seemed to be quite short and ends pretty abruptly but was enjoyable and visually very good. As for the multiplayer this game has been great and the more I play the better it gets. The game is more similar to Battlefield Bad Company 2 than Call of Duty games. If your a fan of vehicles there are a good selection. Large maps with up to 32 players rate high with me but there are only a few different types of game play so far but more than enough to keep you occupied. If you enjoy first person shooter multiplayer games then I would recommend this game!

"Result of hiring a graphics team on the cheap..."
1 stars"

I rent before I buy – like try before u buy. Rented this in the weekend and felt I wasted $8 (cheap a** I know). Graphics were poor and checkpoints frustrating – this is comparing it to recently played CallofDuty MW2. All they have done is added kids crying in the background to pull the heart strings. I would be disappointed if I paid $100 for this.

"Read this before buying"
1 stars"

I preordered this game and played it for two nights.

Single player is short and the graphics are sub par.

Multiplayer is no better, it can take up to 15 mins waiting for a game to start because you have to wait for 16 players to lobby up before the match can begin.

Also once you get in a game it is laggy with most people on red bars even though there are supposed to be dedicated servers. Apparently there weren't enough servers but more are supposed to be coming to cope with the volume. Hopefully this will make the game worth while.

If you're not sure about this game, buy it from eb games, jbhifi, or bond and bond. They do price matching and let you return it for full store credit. Mightyape doesn't allow this so this is what I'm doing from now on to save buying disappointing games in the future.

"Dear oh dear"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Never before have I played a game that is so unstable, it freezes constantly in the single player, and you cannot use the “resume campaign” feature, On the other hand the mulitplayer is fun all be it very laggy. I give it a 4/10 lots of room for improvement.

"Could've been Better"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The game is really nice but too short. Was really looking forward for this game to be a longer one but was a bit disappointed of its length. On the brighter side, graphics are really great, gameplay is good for a FPS game. Will try multiplayer soon.

"Could of been better"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A great idea that failed to live up to expectations. The storyline was imaginative a a nice twist to most games. However the gameplay was slow even when running and as usual with FPS the single player was way to short.

If you like multiplayer then the unique locations and attention to detail may make this game one to try.

"What if you wake up to more and the world you know has "
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A very good story line of what could be a very possible future, however I found the game play a bit to back seat for my liking 6/10, the graphics 9/10 there's some fun toys to play with online however when I play online all I can see is MAG. All up 7/10. There is lots of room for improvement!

"Good game lots of action"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Good game lots of action, some reasonable story in the single player game… Unfortunately it's a little sort and left me wanting for more, however the online multiplayer is pretty good also.

"Ultimate online experience!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

32 players online at once = blood and bullets did i mention blood? This game looks insane, very similar to BF2, with huge maps, new weapons, plenty of usable vehicles although vehicles do not have any advantages in this game so it's a very even playing field!

The aiming system is very cool unlike some guys where you shot and the crosshair fires off in some direction, this game it fires off but after a second it will revert back to your original aiming spot, very goos if you love the snipers!!

melee system is pretty simple (simple is better) nice and quick melle system!

I don't want to comment on the campaign as I don't really do them I love a good game online and this is definitely one!

So if you want a long night with they boys or girls this game will keep you entertained for hours!

Gameplay – 9/10 Graphics – 8/10 Overall – 9/10

"Great"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The single player for Homefront is not the best but the multiplayer is the down right winner. I can't believe im saying this but its better than MW2

"Great game, but very very short!"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The atmosphere and game play is great, the visuals are very impressive and I really like the story line.

HOWEVER, I finished this game in like 4.5 hours! And I don't even play that many games so am not exactly and expert. 4.5 hours is really disappointing for the $120 I paid for this game.

It was a real shame too as I was just getting into the game and got home really excited to keep playing and boom!… suddenly I am finished.

Despite what the developers have send this is far far far shorter than COD games.

If it took 10 hours to finish I would give this 5 stars. Sadly it did not.
