HOMEFRONT (Xbox 360) Review!!! *SPOILERS*

Whats happening guys, as i type this is currently sat in a lesson (which ive completeated) so please excuse this if its abit "edgy"

Now im gonna Rant about, the dramatic faliure of HOMEFRONT (Xbox 360)
Going to one of my best mates houses and seeing it gather dust, i ask "Are you even playing that?" He hapily replies "Nope" I then take up the chance to borrow the game. As he hands the box over to me he gently smiles. I know know why.

Now imagine my delight when i put the disk in, at the main menu, everything is running incredibly fast. A fast shoot em' up so i can run in guns blazing. screw all stealth missions.

I enter the game to one of the best intros to a game ive ever seen. It kind of reminds me as half life 2 where your on a dull train, instead your being taken through a town in collorado on a bus because the crazed Korean war machine want to sign you up as a piolot in the fictional KPA.

So here i am, In awe of the event leading up to your escape questioning "WHOLY CRAP?! CAN THEY ACTUALY DO THIS?" considdering the whole fiasco over the MW2 airport level, Im supprised this even go to mainstream with this idea.

So here i am runign around with a pistol thinking this game is awesome... I come across a collectable. (1 of 61)... FML.

I HATE COLLECTABLES IN VIDEO GAMES. I know video games arnt very realistic and the game is set in the future, but i pose to you ther reader 3 questions. Why are these collecables in the most stupid locations, Why are they glowing? And where the hell is this person putting these things?
Im all for Replay-abilty but collectables is not the way to go about it, Why cant they make a game like "Heavy rain (PS3)" where all decisions can unlock a different endings, like those books I didnt like [I LOVE <3!] where "Please turn to page 7" would decided your fate.

Okay so im prety impressed with how the game holds itself and the sheer amount of weaponry that i can use. i remeber starting with the pistol in the first level "Why we fight" and then picking up the M15.... The sound ressembling a secret love child of barry white and chuck noris. This meaning the sweet sexual tennor of Mr Barry while while having the punch of chuck noris's hidden fist... Infact, Just chuck noris loking the enemy in the eye. The story line is, in my opinon alright not factic, but alright. In places it can be predicatable and shocking which i love, i love to have compassion to the charecters when effectivly metaphorical human waste hits the metaphorical air blowing device.

One this that RUINED this game for me. the ending. I liek being left on a cliff hanger, especialy the emotional roller coaster this game provides, however when what happends happends. Your left thinking "Oh. No 2 then...." not "WHOLY SHIT! IS THERE A NUMBER 2?!?!" THQ might as well of just put on the screen "TO BE CONTINUED..."

Over all id rate this game as a 3 - 5 orr 6 - 10. I would recomend it a play, but its not my kind of thing.

Have a go at it, and let me know what you all think!!
Peace!
