Crytek is almost Bankrupt this is their last great chance to make a game that changes the gaming world. Give them a chance they need it, remember who gave us Crysis the game that changed gaming the benchmark for computers for half a decade.

Being that the first game was amazing and contained a lot of elements that made it a great game this game has it work cu out for it. Due to the fact it has a predecessor and that many games on the next gen have been a bust.

An interesting change of pace for a first person shooter that has some nice ideas and mechanics, but can't quite get everything to sing.

A small but good open world fighting experience; Plenty of mechanics and options to try out; Lots of freedom to try different approaches

Wildly fluctuating levels of challenge; Slow non-combat sections

In short, the stars of Homefront: The Revolution are also its most disappointing aspect. Dambuster studios has tried to create a resistance that's embattled, determined and charismatic in the face of an oppressive regime. Instead, it's made one that's obnoxious and small minded.

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

Besides Doom, Homefront The Revolution was the game I wanted to buy this month. However, after seeing the harsh reviews for it, especially Jim Sterling's extremely low score, I wasn't so sure anymore.

Games that go through troubled development periods often have their fair share of problems and Homefront: The Revolution continues to prove that notion. The game does have a lot of potential with a very unique setting and involved weapons system that can make it enjoyable for a little while.

I could see myself enjoying 'Homefront: Revolution' briefly in a few years when I've managed to get through everything else in my backlog, itself a tall order. It has an adequate but not quite good campaign, easily skippable co-op, and some serious engine problems.

If you are a fan of 1st person perspective, open-world game play and the look of the CryEngine, this game might be for you. As you may have guessed, I am a fan of all of the above. The CryEnging looks great but I just wish the game had some woods/forest areas.

Did you have the pleasure of playing the original Homefront title last generation? If not, it is absolutely recommended to give it a whirl. It was definitely one of the hidden gems of last generation, and featured one of the most entertaining competitive multiplayers of its time.
