Homefront vs Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
Homefront
Homefront lets you join the Resistance that's fighting against the bitter, ruthless and overwhelming armies of the Greater Korea Republic for the freedom of an occupied USA using guerrilla tactics. Experience an explosive first-person shooter gameplay as well as immersive vehicular combat in addition to experiencing the compelling story of the devastating cost of war penned by renowned author John Milius through interactive cut scenes. The graphics in the Homefront is also very well-done, presenting a bleak-looking landscape of abandoned and ruined structures, shopping malls-turned-detention centers, and walled towns filled with zombie-like people who just shamble around while the invaders stood guard with their rifles at the ready. Interestingly, Homefront even provides players with a large-scaled multiplayer mode where armies of different sides clash in an epic combat, though there aren't enough players around to get a match going.So, although the multiplayer aspect of the game is literally dead, the gameplay might be a tad bit too linear (invisible walls and the like) and that there are some glitches and bugs, Homefront still has an amazing campaign that will see you fighting for the independence of the USA against its Greater Korea Republic oppressors. It is worth the purchase, especially if you can get it at a discount.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is the first of the highly successful steath action game, Splinter Cell, based on Tom Clancy's award-winning novels. In this game, you play as Sam Fisher, a well-trained secret agent of the NSA's off-the-books division, the Third Echelon. As such, you'll need to infiltrate enemy's locations, acquire crucial intelligence and get to the extraction spot by any means necessary. Of course, as a secret operative set in the future, you'll have access to a plethora of incredible gadgets and devices to help you in your missions, but being a stealth-based game, you can't really attract too much attention from the enemies or you will quickly find yourself overwhelmed.Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is the sort of tactically-charged stealth game that will make fans of the genre wet themselves in excitement. It's one of the more unique game franchises to have come out of the Tom Clancy brand after all.
