Home, sweet home.
By Martin Robinson, IGN UK
The battle for first-person shooter supremacy isn't being fought in campaign modes, and it's not going to be won by the one with the most weapons or with the most vehicles. It's going to be won on the servers of Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and of PCs, and it's here that THQ and Kaos's Homefront makes the best account of itself.
Homefront, for the record, does have those other areas ticked off handsomely. The backdrop sees John Milius reprise and retool his paranoid fantasy Red Dawn around more contemporary fears, with the Russians of the 1980's original replaced with the united Korea of an imagined near future. In short America has been invaded, its soil churned and burnt by an ongoing conflict sparked by the fall of San Francisco in 2025.
