Pros 3D ENVIRONMENT!!! Easy to play and move and look around. Fun single player and multiplayer
Cons Identical races, space around you looks too empty at times

What more can be said from the topic? This game changes the face of all strategy games for eternity. It added the element of FULL three dimensional movement. The best part about this game is that it is very easy to move around in the 3d space world and that viewing you fleet is also quite easy. The... Read full review »

Cons 3d environment takes time to get used to
Recommended it? Yes

I was a part of the beta test of this game and I have been recommending it to people ever since. Now that it is in full release I wanted to try the whole game and see if the game has what it takes to be one of the great ones.

First off, the graphics and sound, the pretty stuff! The... Read full review »

Pros Can be intoxicating
Cons Some aspects lack due to early game engineering skills
Recommended it? No

Have you ever imagined being in Star Trek in real life. Well, until technology "advances" far enough to do that, you'll have to be content with trying it playing Homeworld. Homeworld is focused completely around the concept of Star Trek and extreme 3D Control/Detail.

Most games that truly... Read full review »

Pros Well designed gameplay. Excellent graphics.
Cons Very Hard! Single player game relies on scripted events.
Recommended it? Yes

Homeworld is one of those rare games that even had other famous game programmers going "How did they do it!". I remember reading in PC Gamer a meeting between a dozen or so internationally famous game programmers, designers and producers where they were all to talk about current and future trends...

Cons Basics are easy, mastery is hard
Recommended it? Yes

I'm a sucker for space combat sims, so when I saw the preview stuff on Homeworld, I was hooked. I was waiting at the game store the day it was released and I haven't been the least bit dissapointed, except...

I work as a programmer and I have two kids. When I get home, I often don't even... Read full review »

An epic space combat game

byFHfan Oct 15, 2000
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros incredible graphics, 3D RTS
Cons some micromanaging
Recommended it? Yes

This is, by far, the very meter stick by which all space real time strategy games should be measured with. Carbon copy games are a dime a dozen, and even many great games are just better versions of an older game. It isn't every day that some developer has the foresight to create a completely new...

Hype. Hype is when anticipation surrounding a product grows to an extent that is greater than the product is actually worth. If the product lives up to consumer expectations, there is no hype. If a product fails to satisfy anticipation, consumer disappointment occurs. In case you haven't noticed,... Read full review »

Pros Great graphics
Cons tough squadron control
Recommended it? Yes

The best games in the world were the original GATO, and StarCraft. The replacement for Starcraft was never quite as good. Now comes Homeworld with the best graphics engine I have ever seen. 3D graphics that allow you to rotate the universe on any axis. Homeworld is the story of a lost race trying... Read full review »
