The user interface took some getting used to and I still find myself trying to recall the command keys, but then again, I try to have life outside computer games. Still, this is the first space combat game involving large capital spaceships that is oh so fun to play. The story has a very "Battlestar Galactica" theme to it of a mother ship trying to reach a new home.The graphics are out of this world. I was nearly disgusted forever a few years ago by my first big ship space game, Battlecruiser 3000, that I thought they could NEVER make a decent game involving anything bigger than an X-wing fighter. Homeworld has reclaimed my faith that there are actually some imaginative programmers out there who knows what the public likes, instead of just rehashing what's already out there. The only weird thing I experienced was that while D3D mode showed beautiful graphics, the even more impressive opengl mode was not available until I installed the latest patch. This game is a breakthrough though in originality in a time when everything else out there seems to be a first person Doom, Quake, or Unreal shooter.

Oh yeah!

Just got this game last week, boy do I wish I got it when it first came out! I don't know why everyone says it's hard to learn, I had no trouble. I have to admit the AI lacks, but it's still very fun over a LAN. =)

The Best 3D Strategy game yet

I had a very difficult time figuring out the controls (even with the tutorial). Once I got the controls down, I had a hard time figuring out how to effectively use the different ships. Once I got those out of the way, I had to develop an overall strategy. It took a long time, but it was worth it.

The idea of a totally three dimensional battlefield sounds appealing until you start trying to monitor that battlefield, build ships, defend harvesters, repair and refuel, research new technology, and oh yea, attack and destroy your enemy who is trying to do the exact same thing. I think this is one of those games where shelling out for a strategy guide might have been a good idea.

This game did for me exactly what Command and Conquer did for me in the mid-nineties. You want action, come and get it!

The best 3D strategy game ever (the best game ever)!

First I was sceptic but I changed almost immediately. It's quite hard to learn to navigate in complete 3D but when you have learned it it's easy. The best strategy game ever!
