The best 3D Strategy game I've played, bar none

I'm not too much into gaming, but Homeworld is one I keep wanting to play, over and over again. Because the Game of the Year Edition comes with the cheat book, I know all the strategies to beat the game, and I've finished it at least 5 times already. Because of the freedom this game provides, unlike its 2 sequels that tend to limit your fleet size, I really believe this is the best of the 3.
Great Game

I saw my dad playing this game and i thought it looked good, so i went out, bought the game and started playing.
Although at first it was hard to "Get into" it made up for that with the amazing graphics and stunning performance.
The only thing that set me back was on the "Kharos Graveyard" when that "Graveyard Cog" kept stealing my Capital ships and Carriers.
But yeah, it was a great game .. i've played HW2 .. so i just need to track down a cheap copy of Catacalysm.
Has to be seen to be believed.

The graphics and 3d camera deployment in this game are stunning.
As an RTS, it has a steep learning curve, but if you do live with
it for awhile, the reward will be worth the effort.
Not just another strategy game

Homeworld is special. The gameplay is completely 3D and you actually have the resources available to make very impressive fleets, with anny number of strategys from Kamakazi to cloaking fields. This and "hyperspacing" from point to point, for a price, makes enemies unpredictable and thus, fun! An esential game for anyone who likes strategy.
Wow, wow and wow again.

I've just finished playing Homeworld for the second time. I've also finished Cataclysm. Homeworld is simply the best RTS I've ever seen, and believe me I've seen a few. If you like RTSs, don't think, just click. If not, then read a few more reviews.
Suffice it to say, this game is dynamite and if you don't already have it, you should.
I'm just waiting for HW2 to come out now ... drool ...
This is IT!

If you enjoy scifi games or real-time strategy in general, you will enjoy this game. I've been playing it for years and still enjoy it greatly. 3-D combat in deep space with fighters, capital ships and special ships like cloak generators and long-range sensors. Take command and hang on...
Excellent!

Very impressive. Orignal and interesting to play. Graphics is good, soundtracks are wonderfull both by themsleves and in creating just the right mood for the game.
There are some downsides though:
1. The game gets rather slow when many ships are present. Make sure you have computer at least twice as powerfull as that listed in minimal system requirements.
2. Some missions in the end get a bit tedious (but that's a flaw of any RST)
3. It ends! :)
Overall: must-have for anyone who likes sci-fi, space games and cool special effects.
Love it

Someone first loaned me this game saying that I must play it, seeing as how I had gotten so attached to Starcraft when it came out back in the day(still a great game). I put the game in, ran it, was a little confused at first by the menus but you learn quickly. Once I got in the game....I couldn't believe it. The nebula levels are beautiful. I loved it, and it also has the single best storyline of any game I've played...but that's me. Truly, this is a must buy.
