Though its world has some great aesthetic devices and a cool concept, ultimately all of Homefront: The Revolution's elements feel repetitive, unpolished, or downright unnecessary. Over the length of its campaign it fails to deliver a satisfying - or even fully functional - shooter experience.

World design; Weapon conversions

Generic story; Repetitive objectives; Annoying bugs

The co-op action can be fun, but the rest of the game is just as dull and miserable as life in occupied America is portrayed.

The crafting and item scavenging works well and there's a neat spin on weapon customisation; The co-op mode has a lot of promise, and is more interesting than the main game

Bland visuals, sluggish gunplay, and unremarkable artificial intelligence; Uninspired story and mission design; The graphical performance is awful, at least at launch

Homefront: The Revolution is one of the most heartbreaking games I have ever played in my life. Not because of the story but because I know that this could have been a great game but sadly, there are so many issues with this game that completely ruin the entire experience.

Homefront: The Revolution has a handful of good ideas, and some of them are actually executed well. But none of that matters when the game constantly runs at 25 FPS (PS4) and the gun controls are truly abysmal.

Gun conversion system; Cool characters

Abysmal gunplay; Lots of technical problems; Boring mission design

Wow. I had heard all of the negative buzz surrounding Homefront – The Revolution upon its release but I figured that at least some of it must have been hyperbole; surely, even taking into consideration the game's protracted and troubled development, it couldn't be as bad as everyone was saying,...

America didn't fare well in Homefront , and it's doing even worse in its oft-delayed sequel, Homefront: The Revolution . Things are looking up, though. A group of ragtag rebels have been slowly making headway in creating a foothold to take back Philadelphia.

Like Far Cry 4 (which is my all time favourite game) Homefront is an open-world style action shooter. The story is interesting, the graphics good, and there are many other elements to like. However, it falls somewhat short of the slick programming of Ubisoft's Far Cry 4.

"If only Homefront wasn't so buggy..."; "If only it was a little more difficult..."; "If only its development wasn't so troubled…" But there is no single, special solution to the problems that Homefront has.

Homefront: Revolution is the latest game from Dambuster Studios, and I have to say that my expectations for this game were really high. I like shooters in general, and I remember enjoying the first game, Homefront. That one was a nice blend of shooting and hiding, plus it had a militant atmosphere.

Expected graphics; soundtrack

multiplayer; bugs and other technical difficulties

Whenever I hear about the Homefront games, I immediately shout "Wolverines" in my mind because the concept is a variant of the campy movie Red Dawn . Sadly, the hero of Homefront: The Revolution is no heroic Patrick Swayze, or even a scared but effective combatant like Charlie Sheen.

Great weapon mod system; Excellent level design; Welcome zone variety

Inconsistent framerate; Awkward gunplay; Numerous bugs; Unimaginative missions; Forgettable characters; Tags
