Summary: Homeworld is a fabulous game!
Review: If you like Sci-Fi, RTS, 3D combat, ect., you will love Homeworld. It has all of the above, and combines it with an amazing 3D graphics engine. And, top it off with an award-winning music track. All in all, Homeworld is a great game.
The story of Homeworld is of exiles who are living on a desert planet. After building a great Mothership to command them on a journey back to thier Homeworld, they find thier ancient enemy. The storyline is intense, and captures you into the game.
I would strongly recommend this to anyone, 5-105.

Summary: Full Game
Review: Homeworld needed a patch to play the Full Game uninterrupted, but after that and after I bought Prima's Official Strategy Guide, I enjoyed the game and still play it today. It is not a hard game, but you learn to balance the features of the game for the senerio of the level. I have 2 games only; Homeworld and Unreal Tournament, what more do you want in life? The homeworld website has a great forum there for players and any level can be talked about and you can have fun knowing that everyone there has played, won, lost at any level; we also help players finish the game.

Summary: One of the greats
Review: This game is absolutely spectacular. I'm sure you've all seen the Death Star and such, but you've never controlled the monster space ship. Now you can. Command 50+ ships, ranging from the 80 ton Scout, to the 800,000 ton Heavy Cruiser, to the biggest ship ever made, the 30 mile long, 5 million ton ship, the Mothership. This is truly an amazing game. The graphics are crisp, but starting to show their age. I can't wait for Homeworld 2 to come out. I'll be one of the first people to buy it. The soundtrack is excellent. The cutscenes are good, and the storyline is absolutely epic. This is one of the best games you can buy for any amount of money.

Summary: Perhaps a redefinition of what RTS space warfare should be
Review: Remember the times in Star Wars and in Babylon 5 were you saw large warships and fighter craft battle in epic scales for supremacy? Ever wished that you could have that fleet at your command and pilot them to victory. Well, the time has come my friend. Homeworld, down to the core, is a redefinition of the RTS simulation. It features a true 3D environment where you literally can use any vector to coordinate attacks, or defend yourself. You have at your command everything from the tiny Scout class fighter to the massive Heavy Cruiser at your disposal. The best part is that all of these are literally to scale, the Heavy cruiser is so large that fighters pale in size comparison. In any case, the story is incredibly addicting and the gameplay is for those who want a hardcore RTS world, heavy on the strategy. This is warship combat on a grand scale.

Summary: Homeworld rocks my world!
Review: Homeworld is an AMAZING game. The graphics are stunning, the singleplayer great, the multiplayer better! Anyone who has fears of it being too complex can lay their fears to rest. The games has a helpful manual that explains not only how to play the game but the games history as well. Homeworld is an innovative game, I am getting Homeworld Cataclysm, the Expansion, soon, and I can hardly wait for Homeworld 2. Homeworld truly is the game of the year!

Summary: greatest game ever
Review: i own about 60 video games. give or take. i have played them forever. I can say, without a doubt, with all ive experianced that this is the best of the lot. I kid you not, ... it is a STEAL for the greatness of this game, the storyline is good enough to make a movie out of. the game play is so smooth and the interface so flawless. This game was Game of the year, Art of the year, and Music of the year for good reason. This game will put you in the VASTNESS of space, and it is all so fun and so easy to learn and its just wonderful. Think of the most fun you've had playing any Real time strategy game and put it in the 3rd dimension. it is simply breathtaking.

Summary: Not just another strategy game
Review: Homeworld is special. The gameplay is completely 3D and you actually have the resources available to make very impressive fleets, with anny number of strategys from Kamakazi to cloaking fields. This and "hyperspacing" from point to point, for a price, makes enemies unpredictable and thus, fun! An esential game for anyone who likes strategy.

Summary: Awesome combat
Review: When playing any other real-time combat game the main problem is the lack of depth during battles. Any player of Warcraft of Starcraft knows what I'm saying. Instead of just having a bunch of units go head-to-head on a 2D plane, this game lets you take it a step further. Ships can engage from any angle and you can even choose their formations. You can set them to evasive to dodge incoming fire, or tell them to go all out and even kamikaze if necessary. Each strikecraft and capital ships has its own strengths and weaknesses. Ion class frigates decimate fighters, but they get massacred by larger ships. A good amount of small strikecraft can also deal serious damage if used properly. The balance of combat in this game is perfect and it's a must have for anybody that enjoys RTS games. Also see the original Homeworld game. They're basically Starcraft taken to the next level.

Summary: So good...so cheap
Review: I can't believe that this game was just $$$ bucks! Oh, and how good it is! Anyway, straight down to stats:Graphics:
Great, for it's time, and still not bad for the modern day. Backrounds are very nice, and ships look really cool from a distance. However, at times, the textures have a very 'old' look.
On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being pac man, and 10 being a next gen. console game, I give Homeworld an
9/10 Sound:
Nice music, but sounds can be a little muffled or distanced. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being simple beeps, and 10 being a fully ochastrated soundtrack, I give Homeworld a
8/10 Gameplay:
The game is fun, original, and is one tough cookie. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the original Pong, and 10 being like a party on a disc, I give Homeworld a
10/10 Value:
Un-be-lievable. $$$! I thought that price was insane. Get it, now. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a game CD that should be used as a drink coaster instead, and 10 being more than a bang for your buck, I give Homeworld a
12/10
(seriously, 10/10 doesn't seem fair)
