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)

Awesome combat

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.

Perhaps a redefinition of what RTS space warfare should be

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.

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.

The best

This game is one of the best games I have ever played.
But this GoTY version doesn't contain any Bonus Sound Track.
Neither manual. Only poor package. That's all. :<
I think there are two versions in GoTY.
Another version must have full items; OST CD, manual, etc. But this one have nothing! I don't recommend this item!!

user unfriendly

I found this game very difficult to play. After a few sessions of about 30 to 60 minutes each I put it back in the box and tried to return it to Best Buy. They wouldn't give me a refund or store credit or anything but sympathy. I could probably learn to play it ok with several more hours of practice but that seems more like work than fun.

When I bought yhis game I was not impressed it was hard, but after I got the hang of it it rocked. The graphics are amazing. The gameplay blew my mind away.

A must have game

Worthy of the big screen

More than just a superb computer game, Homeworld has a story that is just excellent for a Sci-fi epic that can mirror itself in History and today's world. The parallel between the game's race journey towards its Homeworld and the exodus of Moses and his people to Israel is undeniable. I think that's one the stong points of the plot, the search for a home, the return to their true land and all of the hardships that must be endured to accomplish this task. But is nonetheless a space opera game in the best style whith his gigantic starships, space battles and epic story. With a little of creativity Homeworld might be a classic not only in our PC screens but in the big screen as this review proudly states.

Homeworld is an amazing 3d adventure. I love the graphics and it's a good game as well. In my opinion, Homeworld is the best game I have ever played.
