Nobody has ever made a space real time strategy game like homeworld. First of all the graphics are superb. You can get to rotate and zoom the camera so you can see your ships at close up and at any angle. The music is good and the sound is great. You get to hear the sound of your engines when you are in close proximity to ship and it fades away when you get farther. The gameplay is great. Until now, no ones ever made a game in where you get to move in 3D. There are a variety of ships like resource collectors, fighters, bombers, destroyers, etc. Because you control your ships in 3D, you get to use your pause button a lot. While in pause mode you get to assign orders to your fleet of ships. Thus, this game requires a lot of micromanagement. This game then becaomes a kind of turn based game as opposed to an RTS. If you ever play the game in real time without pausing, it would be extremely hard, you need quick thinking and reflexes. The story is another thing that drives this game. It is interesting to find out where your home planet is and the history of your people. For me, this is one of the best games made and until now, no one has developed a game of this type. This game is the only one of its kind.
