Expect to see the usual cast of characters you'd see in a war film. The plot may be strong, but that doesn't mean that it isn't clichéd. Again, it's not new stuff that we haven't seen in games before, but it is a little difficult to watch. In a way, it comes off as being more gut-wrenching to Americans since this is one of the few times we see these atrocities happen to us. It's a good mix of some things you've seen in games before - and some things that you wouldn't expect to see: lines of civilians marching to labor camps in football fields, kids begging for food, civilians lined up in the street to be shot, and bulldozers dumping off bodies in mass graves. If there's one thing that everyone could agree on, it would be the use of imagery in the game to strengthen the gravitas of the plot.
Your task is to make sure that the fuel makes it to its destination. Their leader concocts a plan to hijack a fuel truck headed to San Francisco and deliver it to the remaining US military. After being placed on a bus to Alaska for re-education, he's rescued by freedom fighters, who are eager to have him join their ranks. You play the role of Robert Jacobs, a former Marine pilot rounded up by the United Korean Army for failing to be drafted. forces in the West and claiming the territory.
Seeing an opportunity, United Korean forces invade America and poison the Mississippi River, scattering U.S. Meanwhile, the United States became a shell of its former self, having been ravaged by a bad economy and wars in the Middle East that also put the nation in an energy crisis. For North Korea, nuclear testing and the death of Kim Jong-Il marked a time of prosperity as his son, Kim Jong-un, rose to power, united Korea, and went on a rampage to take over Asia.
The year is 2027, and the political landscape has changed dramatically for two nations.
The reason for the hype comes from the plot written by John Milius, who co-wrote "Apocalypse Now" and wrote "Red Dawn," a movie with a similar theme. Like that game, though, this one falls short on the execution. Such is the case with Homefront, a semi-modern shooter developed by the same people behind the intriguing Frontlines: Fuel of War. Finding that balance in a modern shooter is rare enough, so when a company attempts to do so, people take notice. By contrast, World War II shooters like Medal of Honor and modern shooters like Operation Flashpoint and Call of Duty have plenty of action-packed set pieces but stories that are rarely compelling. Whether you love or loathe them, games like Resistance and Halo pride themselves on featuring a world that is just as fascinating as the action.
