    BAD 2

    Sorry but I'm not one for giving terrible reviews until now....

    Frame rate is that of 1990's

    20 minutes in to the game and I couldn't bare to play anymore.

    I will keep this game as it does look like it could be decent with the weapons customising etc but that's even if a patch unravels! If not then this will be a shocking moment for gaming, especially in 2016

    Terrible, simply terrible. From a technical standpoint the game is a disaster. To call it unpolished and poorly optimized would be a massive understatement.

    Lag for no apparent reason. Incredibly stupid AI. Mediocre story and just terrible voice acting. It would have been fine had it been a beta release, but this is supposedly the finished product?

    Why did I waste my money. I was hoping this game would've redeemed itself from the first game. I was hoping for gunplay that wasn't there and a good story to get into. It has pretty good graphics but overall, I think this game was rushed and just a pile of trash. If you really want to play it rent it or wait for it to go down in price and trust me that will be soon. Good thing I have DOOMWhy did I waste my money.

    Well, game play isn't exactly the right term. The first two hours have been about 80 percent really bad movie (that you'd can't skip), 5 percent loading and about 15 percent game play.

    Most of that game play has been of the "follow me" variety to set up the narrative with no choice availble.

    Most of that game play has been of the "follow me" variety to set up the narrative with no choice availble.

    Movement: I have a topic about the poor movement system already posted, and I've finally figured out exactly how it feels. Have you ever played a PC game that didn't have a controller option available, so you used a program like Xpadder to map the keyboard to a controller? It's that bad. The controls make you feel like you're floating and unresponsive. It's, by far, the absolutely worst movement system I've played on a console.

    Frame rate: The frame rate appears average to below average, but there are so many points where it lags for no reason, it feels like it's in an early alpha. Even when it's not in combat, the lag happens every minute or so, if not more. Something as simple as going through a window or around a corner causes it, and it's about 2-3 seconds of lag each time.

    Save System: Remember the early 2000's when you restarted the checkpoint and had to go all the way back to the cut screen and watch it again? Welcome back. Instead of starting after the cut screen, the few times I've tied (mostly from getting annoyed at not knowing where to go and just running blindly until I was shot giving me a brief but sweet relief from the poor game play), it's put me back before the last cut screen to watch whatever short video led me to this point.

    After about two hours of "playing" the game, I haven't done anything. The acting/voice acting is terrible. The plot is ridiculous and isn't even feasible. Without giving any spoilers away, it's like a ten year old thought of the plot and the developer ran with it, amazingly with no understanding of politics, weapons building and purchasing, and common sense.

    I guess it's supposed to be an alternative time line as well considering the "history" of North Korea is incredibly different (and outpaces the technology of the rest of the world).

    I really enjoyed the first game considering it flew under the radar when it was released. I had very high hopes this game would be good.

    So far, this has been a bad purchase. Beware.    … Expand

    Wow what a sorry excuse for a game. Everything in this game is borderline average and that's quite an achievement in itself. What's shocking is how unconvincing this game is in its progression system. 3 hrs in and I inspired the malnourished citizens of America by back stabbing 10 soldiers who were harassing random citizens and by cutting wires on few small generators sitting by the roads.Wow what a sorry excuse for a game.

What's shocking is how unconvincing this game is in its progression system. 3 hrs in and I inspired the malnourished citizens of America by back stabbing 10 soldiers who were harassing random citizens and by cutting wires on few small generators sitting by the roads. Now my malnourished fellow Americans are spray painting anti KPA slogans on structures, calling out the KPA, and starting a riot in the streets. These are the same people who were at their lowest 10 mins ago and questioned their existence. The area that was constantly being patrolled by armed KPA soldiers and tanks was empty of KPA forces because people started rioting and screaming. A world power was this easy to scare? Brilliant.

    People giving this game more than 6 haven't played a lot of quality games I would reckon. Do me a favor: If you are interested in this concept, then go get Red Faction Guerrilla and The Saboteur instead. These games do the whole Guerrilla/revolutionary concept far better than this under cooked abomination and are far more interesting and fun to play. And despite having dated graphics, they are far more immersive in their setting and lore. I was going to give this a 6 but I will have to knock the score down to 3 due to glitches and unstable frame rate. And no, I didn't buy this game, I rented it.    … Expand

    Homefront The Revolution is a disaster!!! Old Graphic, Tech and Level design is a Epic Fail. Deep Silver/Koch Media show here, there cant be like the big publishers.
    I play it for a couple hours, apparently it is horrifically bugged, stuttery and unplayable on the consoles and PC! Also it is so boring and boring! Better spend time for some better moments.

    This game should never had been made. It was crap during beta and it is bad now. Short and sweet. Save your money. Do not buy it even if it is 90% off. This game is crap

    If they combined the multiplayer with the single player then this would of been more fun, in addition to a more open world. Multiplayer has simple character customization and skill trees and the campaign had do what you want to do objectives. Combining these would of made Homefront The Revolution far more enjoyable, since you could suffer with a friend.    … Expand

Sauf qu'à multiplier ces fameux avant-postes, à les coller presque les uns à côté des autres, on frise carrément l'indigestion !

    On a aussi un paquet de trucs à ramasser (paye ton collectathon ad nauseam) qui donne une impression de répétition détestable. Cela étant dit, la maniabilité est correcte et les fusillades restent dans la bonne moyenne, proposant une action assez convaincante ; les armes sont variées et customisables ; l'ambiance de l'occupation... par les Coréens du Nord (plaît-il ?) est tout-à-fait sympathique.

    L'infiltration est théoriquement possible mais demeure en pratique très mal foutue : qu'on est loin de ce que fait Ubisoft en la matière ! vous n'avez pas bien copié, les gars, ou alors vous n'avez rien compris...

    Techniquement, c'est plutôt pas mal en dépit du Cry Engine utilisé... on sait en effet que seul Crytek maîtrise à la perfection son propre moteur et que les autres développeurs qui s'y collent rament sévère à cet égard... bien que pas extraordinaire, le résultat est ici très présentable et sur la X, les 30 im/s sont d'une belle stablité avec en prime des améliorations côté résolution et textures.

    Toujours est-il que la furtivité foireuse (et encore quelques bugs assez flagrants tout de même) ainsi que la répétitivité omniprésente entraînent un ennui général un peu trop rapide. Rien à faire, cet Homefront s'avère trop casse-burnes pour qu'on fasse l'effort de s'y atteler sérieusement.    … Expand

    Ratatouille, The game, was a much more fun title than this. Enough said right there. It is full of bugs, terrible frame-rate, the combat is sloppy at best, hard to hit your target and the weapons are so nerfed, the enemies become bullet sponges. The story has a terrible "hipsters of the future fight off an invasion" feel and an absolutely terrible storyline with no character development.Ratatouille, The game, was a much more fun title than this.

People struggling to find weaponry here? The only guns 30 years from now that citizens have are M-14's and M-16's and Remington shotguns with picatinny rails? A terrible hybrid of the Colt 1911/Beretta 92FS/M9 Hah! That couIdn't even happen in an alternate timeline. Wolfenstein was believable because the enemy actually came pretty close. I generally give all games a fair chance and I do beat them until the end of the game/storyline even if they suck. This one is absolutely the worst piece of crap I've ever played, it is unbelievably crap. It is a half-witted attempt at "Far Cry: Philadelphia" with maps so small relative to Far Cry games it'll make you cringe. Every single thing about this game was executed terribly. Regardless of whether it was in "Development Hell" (passed on between developers and delayed), it should not have been released in it's form. This is a Beta test game at most. If you are looking for a fun shooter or combat, you will absolutely not find it here, move on. There is a reason it is only $5 new on eBay. Sheesh.… Expand

    The setting is decent, the atmosphere can be good in an intimidating way but as it’s a first-person shooter with awful combat and an even worse frame rate it’s impossible to recommend.

    Homefront: The Revolution feels like a huge missed opportunity, lacking in every area from world design to gameplay mechanics to AI. Probably the troubled development took its toll at the end.
