If THQ had removed the campaign, brushed up the multiplayer and halved the price, they'd have a smash hit...

Homefront is solid, but the story never grips you like was hoped, and before you know it the end credits are rolling. The shooting is its highlight, but it needed an extra shot of something special. 7.0/10Print this pageComments (0)Share this pageNotic...
