I actually enjoyed this games original take on the FPS and it's 'red dawn' like story (written by the same person who wrote red dawn, the movie) being a casual player I got most of the way through the game but got stuck near the end and couldn't finish the single player story as there are no published cheats for the game. This may be because the maker of this game went out of business.
I then switched to try multiplayer and was unable to access it at all. After checking online, it appears that there are NO servers being supported for this game any longer (I assume because the publisher of the game no longer exists). Since most people buy shooters for the multiplayer I feel VERY misled that there is no multiplayer available when the product description says there is... This game should also be cheaper since half the game is now missing.
so WARNING DO NOT BUY IF YOU WANT ONLINE MULTIPLAYER THERE IS NONE ANY LONGER, JUST SINGLE PLAYER

The multiplayer is fun just not the campaign You can rank up your guns in multiplayer so that's cool the graphics are top notch good game a lot of funI love this game. The graphics are dated and it's a basic "Shooter" in terms of gameplay. But, the weapons are super cool and it's really fun. The story is well done and even though the campaign is short, the multiplayer component is so much fun that it makes up for that. Great game. REALLY!The problem with "Homefront" is that it freezes A LOT! This is an inexcusable problem where consoles are concerned. They knew what the hardware would be. I'm literally insulted by the freezes.
I'm giving this game Five Stars for fun but the freeze problem makes this a "One Star" game. The developer is out of business for good reason. This is a defective product plain and simple.

I enjoyed this game and it came with a brand new code for online play. Game runs and works good.This is just a review of the single player campaign.Homefront starts out with a fantastic, and interesting premise. The 15 or so years in the future the United States has been invaded by North Korea. It really hits home too, because in the story (again in the opening scene, no spoilers here past the first five minutes) Kim Jung Il dies and his son takes power. Which just happened in real life. So it has a very entertaining premise, which is why I bought the game. Unfortunately that's the high point of this game.
The campaign is well written, but poorly executed. The main reason this game isn't fun is because they ramped up the difficulty to cover the fact that the game is VERY short. So rather than create a normal length game, they just made you into the wimpiest feeling soldier around. Couple that with fairly obscene reload times (30 seconds or so) and it left me very frustrated. Further couple that with every enemy in the game wanting to shoot me and ignore the tanks, armor, and other 15 soldiers I'm with, and it's unreal.
In one section I had to climb onto a shipping container (that's where the game instructed me to go) and take out a guy with an RPG. The second the guy would come into view he would immediately launch an RPG directly at me and I would die. I did that part 15 times. Finally, the guy somehow was magically killed by someone else, or I probably would have done it another 15 times before blind lobbing grenades to take him out. In another section, I was walking over a bridge and I'm with tanks and dozens of other soldiers, and the enemy far off in the distance isn't aiming at the tanks with his RPGs, he's aiming at little old me. What?!?
Positives:
Great story
Great mechanics
Guns feel awesome
Negatives:
Far too easy to die
Far too many instant deaths that you can't see coming and just have to die to know how to avoid them
Extremely short campaign even with having to reload a million times because of the difficulty
The negatives overtake the positives in a big way, and just make this a frustrating experience.
My advice, don't buy this game.
