After hearing about this game on podcasts, I finally got it on sale. It's a good strategy game, perfect for 15-20 minute bursts of play (enough time to run a mission), and with just the right level of difficulty. Controls felt intuitive to me, and I found it just challenging enough although I'm not a very good player of strategy games. I would have liked a bit more customization, but it was entertaining enough as is. I cleared the campaign but will probably go back again.

This was my first venture into Homeworld, and I was not disappointed. The learning curve was not steep at all, although it helps if you've played a RTS game before. It took awhile to learn how to move ships up and down in space as well as around but it wasn't that hard. There is nothing quite like seeing your fleet line up on the beautiful backdrop of some nebula or other. The campaign was satisfying and not too long. I didn't try the multiplayer.

Best music in a video game I have heard in a long time. Fits the theme perfectly.
