It has been four years since Homeworld, one of the greatest Real Time Strategy games, was released upon the gaming world. It brought something new to the table that no other RTS game had done before, true 3D gameplay, an epic storyline, and awe-inspiring graphics all wrapped into one package, and it had gamers screaming for more. It took four years to create a proper sequel to this game, but was it worth the wait? Read on to find out!

Here is a little background information about the two races in the game. The Hiigarans were exiled for a thousand years on a desolate planet called Kharak. Living there for so long, they forgot their past until they found a starship in a desert. Deep within the ship, they found the “Guildstone”, which is a map that proved that they did not belong on the planet of Kharak, and that Sajuuk banished them there. While searching the vessel, they also found a Hyperspace Core, and with this technology, the Hiigarans took back their homeworld under the guidance of Karan S’jet.

The Vaygr are a space born nomadic race that dominate anything and everything they come in contact with. They travel all around the universe conquering countless civilizations and incorporating any new technology with their own. The Vaygr believe that they are the Sajuuk-Kar, which means the chosen people of the Sajuuk. They are searching for the three-hyperspace cores so they can conquer the universe. They have found the third core on the distance planet of Hiigara.

The story for this game will have you enthralled for hours upon end, and you will not stop until you have satisfied your desire to know what will happen next. Movies are scatted throughout the game and help the story progress further. These movies have a very high production value and they are presented at the right times, which mesmerizes the gamer even more!Just like all RTS games, players will have to keep constant eye on resources they have, so when the need arises, they can create more units and necessary upgrades. Thanks to the easy-to-use interface, this proves to be a very easy task that will never prove to be cumbersome. Instead of clicking on the mothership to create more units, players can hit the build tab, which is extremely usefully when you are in the midst of battle and need reinforcements.
