Re: OT - Homeworld 2
I have homeworld 2 and have beaten the campaign. I have also beaten HW1 and HW: Cata (cata sucked and was aptly named cataclysm because it was one).
Okay I'll rate how it is via a numbers system as follows you know the typical 1-10 scale:
Storyline: 4 (story after mission 13 sucked)
Gameplay: 10 (the gameplay is the most kickass space RTS ever!)
Special Effects: 8 (because of some of the texturing jobs it lacks a nice metallic look but the ships still rock)
Battles: 10 (when you see your fleet closing with the enemy and firing vollies of torpedoes and ion beams as your fighters dodge in and out dogfighting the enemy you almost think your watching a movie.)
AI: 8 It's rather intelligent as AIs go but it makes some of the typical AI mistakes like overbuilding on the easily destroyed units instead of the big guns.
Overall I'd recommend it for someone who prefers skirmishes and on-line play instead of just playing it for the rather sub par storyline.
