I just finished Homefront. My last review was a "First impressions." All I need to say is that before, the game was a 5/10, but near the end it gets to a 9/10.
Games getting good near the end isn't usually a point in their favor, but Homefront's single player campaign is pitifully short.
Near the middle of the game, there's a forced vehicle section, it's not good, but it also isn't as aggravating and inflaming as most shooter vehicle sections.
The absolute best, most adrenaline-activating, pulse-pounding, brain-blowing moment for me was when your character falls off the Golden Gate Bridge and lands on the strapping underneath. All the other characters assume you are dead, so you must fight your way under the bridge to a ladder that will bring you to a turret that you need to destroy for your team to move up. There was no part this cool in ModFare, and I still get excited just thinking about it.
So if you can stand about one hour of mediocrity, then you'll love Homefront about one hour in when it gets fantastically excellent.
I desperately hope for a sequel, because the game leaves enough room for an entire series at the end, if they can just do the bridge scene again for two more games, then I'll be happy.
WOLVERINES!
