Vivendi Universal HomeWorld 2

Strengths: Great Graphics, excellent sequel to the game of the year

Weakness: space background could use a little work, gameplay takes a little while to get used to

This game has never ceased to amaze me. The Clarity and brightness of the graphics and the overall feel of the game is just extremely smooth. I would recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a good game to play. It has so many different elements of strategy and flexibility of a space sim mixed with real time strategy. Get this game, you wont regret it

Vivendi Universal HomeWorld 2

Strengths: Beautiful ships, background, and space objects. Fun, huge battle. Nice user interface. Moddable.

Weakness: Lame single missions storyline. Dumbed down strategy. Annoying changes that's supposed to make the game 'better'

After waiting for years for this product, I was initially blown away by the amazing graphic. Gun turret rotates and kickbacks when it fires. Blazing trails of ships engines (though it becomes annoying in a huge battle, can't see anything with all those engine trails all over the screen). Explosion really rocks! Bits and pieces flying around and appropriate sound effects (cap. ships creaking...

Vivendi Universal HomeWorld 2

Strengths: Amazing visuals and graphics. Excellent gameplay. Modder-friendly. Easy to learn controls.

Weakness: Not the Homeworld2 it could've been. Dumbed down strategy as stated in a previous review. Overly difficult SP, even having had the recent 1.1 patch to address this. Storyline is lacking, and no manual

Homeworld2 is an amazing RTS game. Despite the fact it's not as great as the game would've been if Sierra would've kept their noses out of development, it still manages to awe and excite me much like Homeworld did. The graphics look wonderful, and so do the amazing large space battles that occur. The game was designed with MODs in mind unlike Homeworld, so expect to see many great MODs to be...

Vivendi Universal HomeWorld 2

Strengths: good interface awesome graphics good story

Weakness: need very fast computer to play it can become slightly repetitive at times

I have now played Homeworld 2 for quite some time and I can say I thoroughly enjoy it. For those who have played the original homerowld game, I defeinietly recomend it - it's worth it - much better graphics, improved interface, same intersting story. I especially enjoy the fact that ships can now be build in squadrons and controlled that way, too. For people that have never played Homeworld, but...

Homeworld 2

It has been four years since Homeworld, one of the greatest Real Time Strategy games, was released upon the gaming world. It brought something new to the table that no other RTS game had done before, true 3D gameplay, an epic storyline, and awe-inspiring graphics all wrapped into one package, and it had gamers screaming for more. It took four years to create a proper sequel to this game, but was...
