HOMEFRONT


Created by Kaos Studios and published by THQ,  Homefront was released way back in 2010. What with all the new entires swamping me , I got a chance to try out the game just now. I expected the game to be just a pathetic drag like ordinary FPS ( eg : Tunnel Rats )are. Didn t expect great things from it . 

But from the initial start the game had an attractiveness to it that cant be described perfectly . Graphics looks stunning and beautiful . Just remember to keep you AA on ,and get ready to be blown away by the sunlight streaming at you in open fields and realistic fires and explosions .The game looks absolutely perfect .
Phosphor Bomb 

The game  is supposed to take place in post future where the Koreans dominate the world under their New leader and US forces are pushed to a corner without anything . With no fuel to power their vehicles the US Army are nearly driven entirely out of existence . But a small resistance Unit starts Building up headed by a man called Boone and supported by Connor , Rianna and Hopper and of course u  , Jacobs ( A Pilot).

Automated Sentry  with Miniguns
The game begins with a initial dramatic rescue of your ass  as you are bussed of to somewhere. From there its one hell of a ride against the short but enthralling Single player campaign. Althought the game is too short that you can finish off the entire game in a whole 3 hrs , it sure as hell packs a punch at some places .I mean there are a lot of WOW , COOL, F**K that S**T moments in the game . Especially whenever you get helped by Goliath . Man thats one awesome Drone which has the firepower to take down anything that stands in its way . And the part where you drive AH700 Scout Heli is awesome. I mean after all you being a pilot , the game should give you an opportunity to show off your driving skills right. Well this stage is really cool , especially the countermeasures you can deploy whenever SAM sites throw a missile at you and the one moment where you unload your team onto a moving fuel truck while on mid air ..Pure awesomeness..You will take down automated sentries ( grenade to the base ) and use Phosphor Bomb to take out an entire batallion. WOW.

Goliath blasting the S**T
The gameplay is wat that astounded me . It parrallelled COD easily , which is quite famous for its intense and cinematic gameplay moments . Guns were damn cool and lethal as hell . But the poor thing there was no distinguishing factor between them . I mean using a s M4P automatic and Sub machine gun felt the same . And everything was lethal .
AH 700 Scout

There was a total of 7 levels

1. Why we fight !
2. Freedom
3.The Wall
4. Fire Sale
5.Heartland
6.Over Watch
7.Golden Gate

Final Battle on Bridge
There were no QTE events in this game , thank GOD..Maybe back in 2010 it was not quite famous I think . But still the game had epic moments in it , thats for sure . The only thing that can be said as flaw is that the A.I is completely stupid and idiotic.I mean enemies never take cover and just come out and shoot , which is plain BRAVADO but its kind off stupid bcos of course you are going to get popped in the head u S**THEADS. And wats not our Team is worse than that . I mean whenever you reach a checkpoint you have to wait in line for something to be done in the particular order they were actually coded . I mean if u are expected to crawl thru the Hole , then u cant do it first . You have to wait for Cooper to do it and then Rianna and then hopper and then  , only then u are expected to follow . I mean that kind of looks Stupid . And Veteran Players are going to be pissed off with that . Well atleast I was @@#%$@#$%$ ..

But hey the game packed one hell of a punch for such a nobody . So Kudos to Kaos Entertainment and THQ . Please try this one when you have time . It sure is the best 3 hrs I spent ;-)


Rating : 8.8 /10
