Homeworld 2 Review

BOO! Am back! And with something really nice to show ya!

Homeworld 2... I think this is one of the best if not THE best RTS I have ever played.

Homeworld 2 is a space 3D RTS set in a world of peace, until a war breaks out. Starting now, your life will be changed. The second of the Homeworld series, and certainly the best, you take on the role of commander of an army, starting the game with a single Mothership, a carrier, and a few resource collectors near an asteroid field, you must destroy all of the enemy's capital ships.
Homeworld 2 will shoot you up in space in intense battles where you control a Hiigaran fighter squadron, to a massive Vaigr Battlecruiser. You must produce starships and collectors that feed on nearby asteroids to bring you resources in order to do research, building, send ships into hyperspace ect...



The game has also a carrer included, which consists of a dozen episodes in which you control a fleet of a forgotten race, The Hiigaran, and bring them back to their homeland. The plot is very developed and forces the player to use different tactics and strategies at his advantage to win the game. For example, a bomber can destroy larger ships but can also target subsystems, which are used to produce and unlock abillities, research or build even better fighters. In order to do that, IMP bombs need to be produced through the research module.

The graphics engine in this game was extremely advanced for it's age considering this game has been around for a while, and they are still very stunning when you watch a gigantic mother-ship disintegrate before your eyes, leaving pieces of junk lying around, ready to be collected by your own resource collectors.
Great game, full of memories and I am sure you will have a lot of fun playing it not only against the computer, but with your friends either online or with Hamachi, an application that creates an LAN between users.

Story- 9/10 I'm amazed... The cinematics are breathtaking too and could stun the crap out of every player out there.

Gameplay- 10/10 Yup, this game is full of options and has 2 very different races you can play every time.

Graphics- 9/10 Amazing graphics.... I don't know what to say...

Sound and music- 10/10 The soundtrack is amazing and there are also many voices for every ship "response" and "construction finished".

Overall rating 9/10 Don't be mad at me but this game  NEEDS THE THIRD IN THE SERIES! If there was a third one out already, I would put 10/10. This is definitely a MUST PLAY for any RTS lover or even any space battle fan in this world.
