Gah. Didn't this just come out last week? Busted through it didn't you.

Hey Mike, nice job. I should have my slightly different take up later today.

.. you know.. as far as American fiction goes, the game is actually pretty good. The concept is, like the title says, about fighting an enemy in your own country. What would the resistance be like, how would the invader act, and what would you do if given the chance to make a difference, etc. The less than subtle Korean officer screaming:"we're here to help you achieve the potential of your rich natural resources!" should probably drive that point home. That's why the invasion scenario is skipped past - it's not interesting for the setting. That the country is invaded is.

All I said was that the game qualifies as science fiction, which it does, and that the concept is outlandish, which it is. (Which isn't to say that it couldn't happen, just that it hasn't and in all likelihood won't.) And I wouldn't write the game off for that, anyway. I specifically said that Homefront could easily have achieved what it said out to do if it were in more capable hands, but Kaos just doesn't have a grasp on the subtlety it takes to make this future believable.
