Anthony Taormina May 17, GR Staff May 17, Rory Young Apr 26, John Jacques Apr 16, Dalton Cooper Mar 31, GR Staff Mar 31, Derek Nichols Jan 26, GR Staff Jan 12, GR Staff Oct 3, Derek Nichols Aug 4, The reviews for Homefront were mostly positive but far from enthusiastic, with the game being taken to task for its short length and not doing enough to differentiate itself from other first-person shooters.

It also courted some controversy, with the publishers denying the game was cashing in on rising real-world tensions in the region. Closely skirting reality, though, caused enough discomfort to see the game banned in South Korea and heavily censored in Japan.

Still, it sold , copies on its first day and more than two million were shipped in total — bigging itself up seemed to work. From there, playing Homefront will feel very familiar to anyone well-versed in games of this type, with its first-person setup and recognisable controls — right trigger to fire weapons, X button to pick up items.

While comparisons to Call of Duty , which set new standards for the genre, may not be fair for a new game seeking recognition, they are also inevitable, particularly as CoD is a clear aspiration for Homefront. Here though the less polished presentation and more sluggish character movement already put Homefront in the shadow of the games that it is aspiring to.

It does, though, have its own USPs, one being the setting. Popular locations for first person shooters such as Russia and the Middle East are eschewed in Homefront for small-town America. Gun battles here take place in mini-malls and cul-de-sacs, all of which are nicely designed and well-detailed, effectively completing the illusion of a more dystopian version of a normally glamorous location.

This is one of a number of brands to feature in the game, but easily the funniest when given a name-check. The plot of Homefront is worth particular scrutiny. Among his credits of Apocalypse Now and Conan the Barbarian is the original Red Dawn from , an important reference point for this game. That film saw Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen lead a group of small-town dwellers becoming freedom fighters on a mission to thwart an attempted invasion of the US by the Soviet Union.
