Product Description:
Relic Entertainment and Sierra Studios proudly introduce the Homeworld Game of the Year Edition. Winner of multiple Game of the Year and Strategy Game of the Year awards, Homeworld is a revolutionary step in gameplay and technology, simultaneously delivering stunning special effects, brilliantly-rendered ships, exciting single and multiplayer missions, and an innovative interface.

Amazon.com Review:
Relic Entertainment and Sierra Studios' Homeworld forced gamers to view real-time strategy games in a completely different way. Homeworld's events take place in 3-D space complemented by stunning graphics and magnificent sound effects.

While it does adhere to real-time strategy games' traditional balance of resource gathering and unit creation, Homeworld feels unique; Relic has created a vast and interesting universe that's worth visiting time and time again. Having won numerous industry awards (including Game of the Year and Strategy Game of the Year) in 1999, Relic and Sierra have repackaged the original Homeworld into a Game of the Year Edition

The imaginative plot competes with the graphics as the game's best feature. Upon the discovery of an ancient galactic map inscribed with the words "our home," the people of Kharak began construction of a massive mother ship and fleet to traverse the galaxy and reach their true home world. Players construct, maintain, and control the Kharak fleet through 16 challenging single-player missions or against fellow humans on Sierra's WON.net online gaming service. During the solo campaign, you'll face literally hundreds of enemy vessels. All friendly and enemy ships--ranging from small yet dangerously quick interceptors to the powerful and expensive destroyers and heavy cruisers--are rendered with exquisite detail.

If you already own Homeworld, there's not enough here to justify the purchase; however, if you haven't enjoyed one of the freshest games of all time, Homeworld: Game of the Year Edition offers an experience that shouldn't be missed. --Doug Radcliffe

Pros:

One of the best games in recent years, offering a fresh look on a popular genre
Fantastic graphics with a 3-D engine that allows you to get up close to dazzling ship battles
Addictive single-player campaign and easy-to-use Internet multiplayer options

Cons:

Game of the Year Edition doesn't include extra missions or enhancements to gameplay
Higher learning curve than standard real-time strategy games (but worth the effort)

Amazon.com Product Description:
Command a massive star fleet on an epic journey home. Since the discovery of the Guide Stone 100 years ago, our very origins have come into question. Now, after years of technological advancement and careful study, there is one inescapable revelation: we do not belong here. From that moment of discovery on, we have dedicated ourselves to one goal--returning home.

- Homeworld: Game of the Year Edition
As one of the oldest windows video games I had always enjoyed the complexity of this game, and the strategy aspects of it. The navigation controls of the game were some of the most original I had seen.

If there was one thing I have to say against it would be that it is difficult to get running under operating systems like Windows XP and Vista since these systems compatibility with older games has always been lacking.

Other than that I have always enjoyed the experience ... Read More

- 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.

- 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.. but..
This is definitely one of the best games I've ever played. The story line is fantastic, the cut scenes are wonderful with their hand drawn look, gameplay and control is unmatched except by the sequel, the graphics are amazing, and the sound -music, characters' voices and sound effects - are absolutely amazing. If you're looking for a great, challenging game, Homeworld is just what you're looking for. However... if you're looking for the sound track that comes with the game, the sound track that the picture ... Read More

- One of the BEST games ever. Period.
Before I got this game, I was not really into real-time-strategy (RTS). However I was looking for a good space sim and so I got this game. All I can say is, WOW.

The standard by which I measure games more than anything is the story and content. Homeworld delivered both of them beyond my wildest expectations. And while the graphics may be somewhat dated by today's standards, looks really do not matter compared to the content that the game delivers.

The story is about a 4,000 year-old derlict ... Read More
