That's fine with me.
With games like this I like a good, short campaign followed by engaging and addicting multilayer.
I'll be picking up my copy tomorrow.

I'll will probably pick this one up later down the road.

Cant wait... Preordered this in january. Curious about the multiplayer.

Multiplayer looks interesting

First reviews coming out are looking great:

THQ is not really known for fps games. I've only seen a couple listed on wikipedia. Kaos has only made 1 previous game so we'll see if they used their 2 year dev time wisely.

The last one was Metro 2033, which got great reviews and was developed by a new studio in Russia. Kaos previously developed Frontlines, which was received by mixed reviews at the time. I liked it quite a bit, but may have been a bit biased since I was handling the media advertising for THQ at the time. A lot of the early reviews fro Homefront say the single-player is quite short and multi-player is where's it's at, which is very similar to what people said about Frontlines.

IGN gave Homefront a 7/10 today, haven't read the full review yet. Gamespot will likely have their review in the next day or two. I've never been a big multi-player guy, so when the single-player is short it makes it tough to shell out $60 for a game.

I agree, plus I don't like playing with random people I rather play with friends online. I don't know how many of my friends will be picking this up...if any. heh

Picked up my copy and have played about 2hrs of the solo campaign (so I guess according to reviews, i'm about halfway).
Anyways, the story is unbelievable so far and really draws you in. The graphics/mechanics/animations are a little iffy at times but I am going to accredit this to the lower budget that KAOS probably had. Even with these minor nuances it has still be a great ride so far. Controls are mirror image of CoD as are is the overall feel of the game.
The servers are down right now due to "unexpected traffic" so I haven't had a chance to play online yet but when I do I'll report back.

Played around an hour last night. Not bad, but the story and writing (eek!). And a lot of "follow" too. Lol
