Loss of The Real Concept!

Look, I've been a Homeworld fan ever since I bought it when it FIRST came out, it was beautiful, the graphics were just delightful, and the stradegy was complex to a portion where I can sit in a room, for 20 hours of non-stop harvesting and planning of an attack with a lil' math and algebra on the side.

When I started to play Homeworld 2, I was hyped, and ready to complete the saga in my world of stradegy gaming other than StarCraft, WarCraft, Age of Empires, and all those other fun stuff.

I began by downloading the Demo from Sierra, and I was full blown by the new graphics it had, though my video card was really acting kinda messy since it was the summer time. (Yeah seasonal changes make items work slower or faster.) Anyways, when I started to play the demo, I used the mechanism of the keyboard and controls of what Homeworld 1 had, lemmie tell you this, TOTALLY DIFFERENT! I can't believe my eyes of what I felt and seen! Everything; the whole concept has changed, the keys and etc. Then I saw that the stradegies have changed, and there were only 3 formation patterns I could only choose for my fithers, I'm like, WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE THEY THINKING!? I really wanted to bust a few chops with my strategic mind... so then I thought to myself, eh, not bad, lemmie get the whole game and see what it's really worth...

Bought it, it's totally the same concept, doesn't relate to Homeworld 1, doesn't relate to ANYTHING LIKE HOMEWORLD AT ALL! I thought that they would stick to their story, but the whole thing changed... I was really mad about it.

The game-play suddenly became boring, just traveling with no real dog-fight, "Some destiny this is..." ok, maybe a few dog-fights, but the game just gets harder and harder *like any other game* But I'm looking at it, I swear to you, I would've beaten all these fools if I had all those formation patterns. This game has less stradegy in mind, and the shipmaking, is just build in bulk, something that a gamer would NEVER LIKE. Listen, usually, it's always great to build ONE AT A TIME... WHY!? BECAUSE HAVING THAT FEELING TO SIT ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT WAITING FOR THAT SPECIAL OBJECT TO BE BUILT REALLY SHOWS THAT IT'S A GREAT GAME. This however, was truly dissappointing... No wonder it was 20 bux. Not many people like it! For God's sake even Diablo 2 is 20 times better than this and the graphics can be as horrible as they want, but their game play is just completely mind blowing as well as the story line.

For all kids that love graphics, I suggest this game as a STARTER, but for gaming stradegy and story lines, I suggest that you should TURN BACK, THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE BUT A GAME THAT TAKES 20 HOURS OF YOUR LIFE JUST SITTING AND WAITING FOR NOTHING, BUT RUNNING AWAY FROM YOUR ENEMIES.

Even Homeworld Cataclysm is better than this. I wouldn't call this game trash though, but would've worth a lot of money if they knew how to bring back the story line as what they were before, but spiced up, with more allies and enemies, and probably if Sierra was lucky, deception.

This is art....

I have played hoeworld and stayed with it for as long as i can remember sierra making this game and i love it. I made concept art about these ships but mine dont look as good. This game to me is basically pure art and makes me real happy they re-did the graphics of the game and lol im not 13 tho im 15 writing a atrical on this cuz im too lazy. People if you do want to get a good game get this this marks history in pc graphics and is a epic worth falowing and plaing just for the fun of it.

I loved this game and hope there is a Homeworld 3 or something verysimilar with more ships and a new storyline.

Do not buy this game under any circumstances.

I have now purchased this game twice and been completely unable to get it to run properly off of CD or fully installed. I have a top-of-the-line gaming system.

First disc was actually flawed and would not install at all - second purchase installed and then would not start.

Even the patch download was flawed and had to be installed twice - it still does not play - and i will now return 2 full copies without ever playing the game.

Support for this game is non-existent and you will receive no help at all from the company website. The do give you your money back, but save time and just don't buy it - and read up on any of their products before trusting Vivendi.

Total waste of money and time.

If only this stupid game would work...

I think the video card in my PC won't let me play this game - I wish it had said something on the Amazon site to tell me that. I can't get the game to play. I may just wait until this Winter when I get a new PC.... Very disappointed - liked both the other Homeworlds a lot...

Looks ok

We all loved Homeworld, but Homeworld 2 looks a little sad to me,
because on the cover , the first thing you see is Karen S'Jet covered with wires, and Sierra says its rated Teen, I know it's not a big deal, but what makes this game so much worse than Cataclysm and the original?, I mean it looks ok, and from what I can see the story line is good, and the graphics are VERY improved, but the mothership looks like {yuck} compared to the original. anyway, I just hope its good, and not all, i don't know how to put this, i just don't want it to turn into some weird game for freaks...

homeworld 2 is the same as orb

in my view playing homeworld 2 is about the same as O.R.B if you seen that game they mirror each other both have great graphics. homworld is harder than homeworld 2 but orb is cooler because of the levels

Best game ever!

If this game is as good as the other two in the fantastic homeworld series, it is obvious to me that this will be even better.As the other two games showed, they have taken space games like this to a whole new level, and if the other two installments were amazing, then H2 will be as good as gold!

better multiplayer

If theres one thing I'm trully loking forward too in this game it's the expanded and upgraded multiplayer. I loved the story line and action of Homeworld (wasn't a huge Cataclysim fan), but when it came down to it the multiplayer of Homeworld broke down into who could build the fastest and overwhelm there opponent. I'm looking forward to a multiplayer where it will be possible to employ unique and creative strategies to beat your opponenets all 5 of them :) (nice job Relic!), intead of just building the other guy into the ground. All in all I can't wait!

Hi this is FirePSA of Paktu Sjet Armada and i am here to review HW2. I have both games and i'm stoked about this one! The other 2 games were great (but HW:C was not as good as the original HW) and i'm not sure how you can improve on those 2. The grahpic, sound, camera, story, etc. have all improved in HW2. The bad things though are it comes out in late August and the Hiigaran MS (Mothership) looks like a banana ad the back has a bunch of engines that look like dots; maybe relic can look into this and tweak the MS a little. Otherwise this game HAS to be great or will sue, i didn't get all excited for nothing. I just can't wait until it comes out!
