These include a more streamlined movement system, context sensitive right-click menus, as well as totally overhauled research and construction departments - perhaps the only criticisms we had of the first game. Along with a phalanx of new ships to play with, the basic mothership designs are getting a touch of spit and shine, visually remaining similar but having their functions beefed up immeasurably.
Although you still only get one to play with in the single-player game, multiplayer will open up W distinctively varied motherships I depending on the race. You'll only have two at first, but Garden is promising exciting things" for players after the game ships. Which probably means extra races and missions in an expansion pack. Visual additions appear to include beefed up Ion lasers that actually slice through their targets a la Babylon 5 , more dynamic looking ship trails that give a better sense of speed, and much more detail on the ship models.
For the fanboys, Relic is getting fully into the mod scene this time, promising to provide extensive tools and support for budding amateur coders. For the hippies it's bad news though - 70s prog rockers Yes don't appear to be involved with the music this time. Somehow I think we'll manage. What Homeworld 2 sadly won't have going for it anymore is the Wow, Crikey' factor, as since the startling debut of the original, practically every space faring developer and his astro dog have nicked the template and added their own twist to it.
Relic's own twists will have to once again redefine the genre if it wants to keep its crown. Luckily Relic's other biggie, Impossible Creatures, shows that there's no shortage of innovative thought left at the team, so chances are pretty strong that Homeworld 2 won't just be more of the same only better - it will be just plain better.
It isn't every day that a game will revolutionize a genre but when Homeworld was released, that's exactly what happened. Concepts like introducing a useable Z-axis in addition to great gameplay, graphic, and audio all helped to create a solid and unique experience.
Since then however, few have come close to the success of Homeworld with maybe the exception of Hegemonia: Legions of Iron so expectations are rather high that Homeworld 2 will once again deliver a ground breaking performance.
For better or worse however, Homeworld 2 wasn't designed to be ground breaking but to build off the same mold that brought Homeworld its initial success. That isn't to say that different areas weren't overhauled' significant improvements can be found throughout the game. The interface for instance is considerably easier to use and allows for simpler unit movement and tracking, while the graphics offer appreciably more detail even raising PC requirements to higher end units.
The first Homeworld also tended to take much longer to finish missions then should have been required. Waiting for units to get to a battle location created problems with game flow that has been resolved in Homeworld 2.
The core of the gameplay still follows the original Homeworld model with a three-dimensional view allowing the ability to rotate the camera to any possible angle. The general objective is also similar as the mothership is once again threatened but instead of trying to reach their home world, this time they are trying to protect it. By collecting resources and strategically building new modules and ships, you'll have to defend and push back this new threat requiring more then sheer numbers.
Although Homeworld 2 won't leave quite the mark its predecessor did, the quality of the game still stands out. With an improved interface, graphics, and other gameplay issues you'll once again find yourself immersed trying to defend the Mothership and the home world. Browse games Game Portals. Homeworld 2.
