Homeworld Cataclysm Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you enjoyed Homeworld this sequel is an absolute must! If you haven'tplayed Homeworld and enjoy real-time 3D strategy games you might want tocheck it out.
I've been playing games for a long time and have becomesomewhat jaded and difficult to impress. However the original Homeworldjust blew me way! Stellar graphics, an immersive story, great music and adream of an interface that smoothly integrated tactical and strategiccontrol.
Homeworld Cataclysm builds upon this base very well. Rather thanjust reusing the original "Mothership" and it's fleet of craft,the developers have created an entirely new fleet and set of technologiesfor you to explore.Years have passed in the Homeworld Universe and manynew technologies have been acquired beyond the original cloaking andgravity well generators. EMP vessels, holographic projections, covertdrones and much more add an even greater level of sophistication to thegameplay.
Of course the 3D battles are staggering. Full visual effects,coordinated sound and a high frame rate brings space battles, I imagined asa kid, to life. It makes me wish I had a Video Out on my graphic card totape to share the visuals.
The user interface has been polished to nearperfection. The control of a large and complex fleet is a pleasure, asopposed to the pain, compared to many simulation games. The few areas ofthe original Homeworld interface that were weak, such as selecting adistant location in three dimensions, have been greatly improved.
Thesound is still "realistic" and informative. The music isonly"good" this time around. The haunting and highly emotive music ofthe original is missing.
This game is far less buggy than mostsimulations I've played. But I did come across a small number that didn'tcrash the game, but an end of mission condition wasn't recognized. This canbe solved by a game restart an then reloading your last saved game ofrestarting the particular mission.
I've completed the single player gameand am taking a brief break before I go on-line and play multiuser. Withthe game's new fleet technologies, great visuals and smooth interface I'llactually enjoy experiencing the new ways I'll get my butt kicked by kidshalf my age.
