SP since that's my rule for any game. Then playing the **** out of MP because the demo was amazing even with the amount of flaws.
Homefront's MP looks like regurgitated Battlefield but someone took a giant dump on top of it and added cherry, with the cherry being the cool point system. If you want to spend 60 bucks on a 3 hour campaign and what I said in the sentence before. Then by all means, do so. I'll be enjoying Crysis 2 with a roughly 12 hour campaign and fast paced Nanosuit combat in MP.
Interestingly conflicting information.
1. There are many other reviews out there not listed on centralised scoring sites. And they average 8-8.5 out of 10. So those plus e.g. Gamerankings, you have a current average of 8. The first Crysis 2 review is: 8 - PSMagazine.
2. So far all reviewers including IGN who score HF a 7, agree the MP is great. IGN lower the score for less than stellar graphics (Black Ops were well outdated btw and scored higher) and a short campaign.
3. Three-hour campaign? Sorry but most reviewers say it is 5 to 7 hours if you take your time. Crysis 2's is said to be 7-10 hours, making it an average 2.5 hours longer. That is huge isn't it;) Let's look at many other AAA SP campaign lengths of late: Black Ops = 4 hours on Easy level, 7 if on Veteran people say. Bulletstorm = 6 - 7 hours. Even Dragon Age 2's is cut by half. Point being, it is the norm today & judging a game by that is futile or judge them all on that. Crysis 2's is in no way considered a 'Long SP campaign' - no chance.
HF offers varied play in MP, from foot soldiering to vehicles, to drones = variety of playing. Crysis 2 offers varied weapons, so though that may be a good selection, it is still a regurgitated Counterstrike for me.
actually....the first review was a 9, there is also a 9.2 and a 9.5 by german magazines (there is a thread here somewhere about them)
as for the campaign length of crysis 2, Camarillo said the playtesters took about 12 hours to finish the game, less experienced players will take longer so I do not know where the 7 to 10 is coming from
