In simple terms, THIS GAME ROCKS!
This game has well executed graphics, balanced forces, a competent AI and multiplayer capability.

Like most strategy games, Homeworld has the traditional Harvest,Research,Build & Fight scheme, but unlike most, it has a very competent storyline which is engrossing enough to drag you emotionally into game.

The controls are easy to use and easy to learn thanks to a built in tutorial level that you can run at any time.
The games music was composed by super group YES and is truely a work on its own.

Game play is fantastic. The spacecraft you control are not just lifeless sprites....engines leave trails, turrets turn and track targets and the pilots chatter during battle (which serves to help tell what thier condition is or their chances against a particular foe). You can zoom out until the ships look like ants,zoom in until you can see the rivets on the hull or stop anywhere in between.

The diffrent levels are not boring repeats of the last one. Each level has diffrent objectives and requires diffrent tactics and strategy to win.

Multiplayer looses none of the charm of the single player game and the ability to set starting resources or turn off the need for harvesting makes for a fun game to play with your friends. Challenge each other or team up against the AI. Its your choice.

If you are a fan of space art by artists such as Chris Foss, you will not be disapointed. This games has been heavily influenced by that art style and it shows.

The price for this game on Amazon is a steal...get it now.
