I loved the origanal so I had high exspectations. The graphics are phenominal, but the gameplay sucked. I finished it in a week. Unlike the original that took me the whole summer. If you want the a good game buy the original.

This is an absolutely amazing game. I've lost jobs because I couldn't go to sleep until I beat a level. I'm an old guy, I'm supposed to be responsible. I first found Homeworld, the predecessor to Cataclysm, in the $10.00 bin. It said "Game of the Year" on the box, so I decided to buy it.
Like its predecessor, Cataclysm is a 3 dimensional real time space stragegy game. However, it is not of the Descent or Tie Fighter genre, where the question is how fast you can shoot. The thing that make it so addictive is that it also includes elements of a simulation (such as sim city) and the battles involve stragety rather than how fast you can point and shoot.
The basic story is that 15 years after returning to their homeworld in the epic game Homeworld, a Hiigaran mining space vessel, the Kuun-Lan, inadvertently releases an intelligent interstellar virus of sorts which can subvert living and inorganic matter, almost instantly turning your own ships against you. Eventually, it allies with your enemies, the remnants of the old Taidan Empire, which you (hopefully) wiped out in the first game. You have to conduct scientific/engineering research, build ships, mine resources, and upgrade the mining vessel until you become one of the most powerful armadas around. You get to be the General, rather than the pilot!
Gameplay is similar to Homeworld, but you have the ability to "speed up" the game play to 8X "reality." This is particularly nice at the end of a game level where you want to "harverst" all of the resources so you will be able to build more ships. With one level on homeworld, harvesting all the remaining resources could take over an hour.
The game graphics were excellent for their time, and are very detailed. In fact, they are so good that the scenes between missions use the game's graphics rather than specially done animation. In fact, on the DVD "Yes -- live at the House of Blues," there is a music video of the Yes song "Homeworld" which uses only video from the first Homeworld game.

Unlike the first homeworld, there's less micromanaging. the Game is incredible. A true challenge for someone who thinks they're tactically competent!!

I purchased this game with thought that it might have a wider ship diversity, and was totally right. There are tons of new ships and different weapons/upgrades. This is a slightly better game compared to Homeworld. Some things that are worse is that if your gl link(I'm computer literate and don't have a clue what this means) is non-compatable and you aren't using a windows 95/98 computer you have to download a patch from the sierra website, do this anyway because it took me about 4 hours of messing around with the game before I found this!! Another thing is if you like using the multiplayer and are using the Beast ships you are totally outgunned. I've gone into a battle with 12 ion ships and 2 heavy cruisers against a Dreadnought and lost every thing but the cruisers. Other than that, it is a great game and I can't wait for Homeworld 2 to come out.

This is a great space stratagy game with a few things wrong. The game gets old fast. The levels take to long to complete. I havent really played multiplayer but I found the resources to few. This is a great game if your looking for something different and/or really bored.
