Again, great graphics and lots of challenge. If you like Homeworld get this game too.

This is a STEAL

At 9.99 this game is a steal! Cataclysm does not require the old Homeworld game, but I recommend Playing the old Homeworld first, for the sake of the intricate and engaging storyline that etends throughout both games. Although the controls for the game may seem daunting when one first looks at the manual, one quickly learns to command the armada with ease. The support systems used in cataclysm limit the total number of unit you can amass despite the amount of resources a player has. This game's graphics are some of the best I've ever seen, and the variety of ships under a players command is formidable. Slower computers will have some trouble with this game, but lowering the texture quality will speed things back up. $9.99 is a ridiculous price for this game!

No one said anything about a patch

In order for me to play Cataclysm I had to download a patch. I purchased the game and found out some one had walked off with my orignal Homeworld game. So I reordered it so I could play Cataclysm, but guess what It would not work until I found a patch and coppied it. So I was a little dissapointed, but other than that I have realy enjoyed the game. So if any one else haves a brpblum with the game a patch will fix it and you can enjoy the game. Best wishes Bruce

Okay, so this game has a great plot and excellent story line. But the graphics are lacking. The first Homeworld game did a great job but this one was like a step back. Don't get me wrong, I liked the game, it's just not as good as I expected.

Good game all around

This is a great space stratagy game with a few things wrong. The game gets old fast. The levels take to long to complete. I havent really played multiplayer but I found the resources to few. This is a great game if your looking for something different and/or really bored.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I loved the origanal so I had high exspectations. The graphics are phenominal, but the gameplay sucked. I finished it in a week. Unlike the original that took me the whole summer. If you want the a good game buy the original.

Exellent semi-sequel to the original game!

After playing the first game, Homeworld, I was having so much fun, it's almost been a year, and i'm still playing it! I couldn't wait for Cataclysm! Now I have it, and it is ALMOST what I was expecting. The graphics are improved, and the controls are better, but I preferred the originals sound. The single-player and multiplayer are not quite as good as the first game, but still very good. This is a very good game, but first, pick up the original, than this game. Can't wait for Homeworld 2. Especially because it's being done by the original's team at Relic Entertainment. ...

Home World 2

To begin the first Home World is better. In Home World 2 you can't turn unit caps off even in multiplayer! You dont need to refule. And now many non combat ships have guns! For example the resourse prosesers have 3 guns. All this takes a lot of the strategy out of it.

The graphics are very good! The best I've seen. Mabe a little better than the first HW(Home World). And you can get very cool battle shots with the very manuverable camra.

The music is better than the first HW's music. The music in the first is all hmmming or something. This HW has more of a battle type music.

The story is not as good as the first HW eather. This one is more of a battle by battle story. Where as the first one had a story. But it is still better than many others.

Multi player is also differnt from the first. You have to build storage things to be able to build more ships, but you can only build so many.

I would say if you have the first HW not to get this one. But it's so cheep I say get it. It comes with a thick book about the game.

Definately one of my favorite games

This game is in my mind one of the best games by sierra. It is definately involved and takes some memorization but once you have it it's awesome. It has excellent graphics but a somewhat limiting interface. you cant scroll freely through the environment but have to stay focused on one of your ships. theres a limit on the amount of ships you can make which is a bummer but the ships that you can make are spectacular.
