“Original Homefronts is still good fps game, with short and intense action. But don't expect good graphic. Its not that good by today's standard. I only recommend this game if you get it on sale with cheap price. *Note:…”
“MP dead Campaign is average but "funnish" 3 hours too little only good on _-Sale-_”
“Pretty fun. It does show its age since the performance isn't amazing, but campaign is memorable and enjoyable even if its short”

“Homefront is a very short (under 5 hours), fairly generic military FPS, with little replay value and dated gameplay mechanics and enemies. The multiplayer is dead, and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ part is that it's still advertised on…”
“Homefront felt less like a finished game and more like a technical framework. While the premise of a North Korean invasion of the U.S. was bold for its time and rich in atmosphere, the actual gameplay was held back by…”
“North Korea invading the usa is such a dumb but fun idea , cool parallel war idea like wolfenstein does. There is a film called red dawn 2012, which is not exactly an amazing film but if you enjoy this kind of invasion…”

“The concept of this game is cool and I love the aesthetic and atmosphere. I wish it was a good game.”
“ignore the bad reviews, get the game on sale. ill agree 20 is too much 15 years later. but this game is a now hidden gem. i would recommend waiting for a sale and trying it out, its better than any cod post 2017. w game…”
“**Homefront – A Gritty and Emotional Shooter Experience** *Homefront* delivers a unique and powerful take on the first-person shooter genre by presenting a story that feels close to reality. Instead of fighting in…”

“I got it for like 2 bucks on sale and id say its worth it for that price”
“I thought it was a lot of fun. Reminded me of the good old CoD days. The campaign was fun but way too short. Definitely a great game to pick up for your backlog when it's on sale.”
“3 hours to beat on the dot (mostly because of bad checkpoints) I wouldn't describe it as good. But it's a neat thing for like 4 bucks”

“Everything they describe in the first few minutes of gameplay is a lighter version of what Israel has been doing to Palestinians for decades. I dunno, it's a very bland game for me, doesn't hold a candle to games much…”
“This is a game that is painfully of its time. The story is thin gruel and the gameplay is equally weak and unenjoyable. I am not upset that this has sat languishing in my library for so long - it can continue to do so…”
“Playing a first person shooter that's over 15 years old is not recommended, especially one that would've been average at best upon it's release. Boring, tired, linear, meh!”

“You can have a little fun with the campaign, at least. Problem is that said campaign is only about 3-5 hours depending on how many deaths booting you back to the previous checkpoint occur. Story's nothing to write home…”

“Homefront is an FPS released in 2011, developed by Kaos Studios. It’s basically a Call of Duty-like with a North Korean twist. Since the 2010s, North Korea has been arming itself to the teeth and gradually invading the world. Two years after the start of the occupation of the…”

On the contrary - plenty of weapons, shooting is decent, levels are challenging and done well.
