Despite the odds, you'll need to build bases and safe-houses for your Resistance fighters, recruit more revolutionaries to your cause, craft a variety of guerilla tools as well as capture an arsenal of better weapons from the enemy. Although there isn't a multiplayer mode in this game, you can play cooperatively with your friends to assemble a resistance that will earn the respect and adoration of other revolutionaries.Homefront: The Revolution may start out looking like a cut scene-laden game, but once you've gotten through the first 2 hours, you'll find that the game isn't at all that bad. It may not be comparable some of the most epic open world shooters out there, but it's still a pretty decent game, especially if you like the idea of building up a resistance cell rather than being the one stomping out the resistance.
