You never even get to hear them speak, or perhaps learn what the regular ground troops think of it all. ItвЂ™s laughable, though, because all the game presents them as is walking suits of armor. At one point you get a text message from the doctor saying you should remember that the Korean forces are human beings under those helmets, people who are simply following orders. They might as well just be Generic Goons from the country of ThatBadPlaceWotTheDarkLordCameFrom. Speaking of which the Korean forces are nothing more than people wearing suits of body armor and therefore could actually be absolutely any nationality. They have no discernible personality, except that Dana is a violent person who would probably have wound up in jail if bad guys hadnвЂ™t invaded. Outside of these things they arenвЂ™t people. They each have a sole defining traits the doc wants less killing Dana wants more killing, and Parrish is the patriot willing to do whatever it takes. The leading trio have absolutely no character development throughout the entire campaign, remaining steadfastly one-dimensional. ThereвЂ™s no attempt to explore the depth to which people are willing to go to regain freedom, or to flesh out the resistance so that they become anything more than a mob of faceless grunts. They are not above using torture and hiding weapons within clinics to achieve victory, and refer to their enemies as Norks.Д«ur despite not hiding from the inherent violence that comes with revolutions the writers do so very little with their own premise. One character out of the main trio attempts to argue against the loss of human life on both sides of the conflict, but the other two are on the warpath and have a raging hatred of the Korean forces occupying their city, which is perfectly understandable. Throughout history occupations and revolutions have typically brought out the worst in both sides, and Homefront does the same.

ThereвЂ™s little effort given over to painting the revolutionaries as freedom-fighting champions who try to avoid bloodshed where possible, which is refreshingly honest. Quite frankly they deserve much better than the script they are given which is entirely inoffensive and standard stuff. Revolution has cobbled together a stellar cast of actors who deliver the iffy dialogue with skill. Sadly said hero gets captured, while you get recruited into the resistance with the goal of finding him, because according to the trio of Dana, Parrish and Doc he has the charisma and support of the people needed to spark the revolution.В Stiff animations and lifeless looking faces do the impressive voice work no favors.

Surely America would not base its entire military off a single supplier whom they have no reason to try? And why is the rest of the world happy to sit by and let North Korea invade?ДЄs for the player, youвЂ™ll be taking control of Ethan Brady, an entirely mute lead character who is rescued by the legendary hero of the resistance. As premises go itвЂ™s interesting if a bit far-fetched. The North Korean KPA (Korean Public Army) invades America under the incredibly thin pretext of trying to help, even handing out some aid packages, before quickly dismissing that idea and becoming tyrannical jerks. Unsurprisingly this proves to be a stupid idea because eventually America begins suffering from major economic issues, at which point North Korea enacts a secret backdoor it had built into all of its technology that renders AmericaвЂ™s army practically useless in one fell swoop. Having made its money from phones and other smart devices Apex moves into military production, pumping out weapons, vehicles and other toys that America simply canвЂ™t get enough of, buying up everything it can lay its hands on. The premise is that North Korea has become a giant in the electronics industry thanks to Apex, a company that has essentially become the Apple of this fictional world. So what does this FPS bring to the table? Indeed, it arguably would have fared far better without the Homefront branding, but thatвЂ™s pure speculation.

And yet after five long years of development we Homefront: The Revolution, which ultimately doesnвЂ™t actually have much to do with the first game. The first game didnвЂ™t make much of an impact in terms of sales or critical reception and thus it didnвЂ™t seem likely that the name would ever be plastered on a videogame box ever again.

The Homefront license isnвЂ™t one I saw coming back, despite the fact that it seemed to have some potential.
