    Mediocre


    Too short campaign, uneven graphical quality, atrocious A/I and random difficulty spikes mar a decent premise.  The controls are fine and the game includes the requisite turret, helicopter, etc. levels but the A/I has the uncanny ability to see you from clear across the map and completely ignore your squad mates to shoot you through cover seemingly at random.  There are glimples of what this game could have been when the game slows down and offers in-game cutscenes setting up the desperation and deplorable living conditions but this is wasted by standard one-man-army FPS cliches soon afterwards.  Worth a rental, not a buy.

      For me, it's hard to think of or play Homefront without conjuring up memories of playing Freedom Fighters, the squad-based third person shooter released in 2003 by io and published by EA. The game didn't sell well, but it was one of the most well-made games last generation. While the types of games are exact opposites, the story and premise of Freedom Fighters was an alternate future where the Soviet Union dropped the bomb on Japan and became a world power and invaded the United States. It was a...
