As a follow up to Homeworld it holds up it's part, but this game was even harder, and forces you into the next level.

User Rating: 9.4 | Homeworld 2 (BestSeller Series) PC
Homeworld definitely fulfills it's expectation for me, and is a great sequel t one of the best games ever. It looks amazing, the game play is very nice, and the story is consistent with the Homeworld universe. I had a lot of problems to get through the levels though, and never managed to finish that last level. Homeworld was already very demanding and just not impossible, but Homeworld 2 is simply hard for me. I am not your best RTS player, so it might be just that. Another downside for me was the fact that you proceed onto the next level once you destroyed all enemies. I liked to proceed at my own pace in the first game, even if I kept on mining an hour after I had gotten rid of the threat in nearby space, and miss that in this episode. Though it is a bit more in line with the story of Homeworld 2, where you don't have all the time of the world to save your planet , it takes away some of the real time feel in my opinion.

Nevertheless Homeworld 2 is great, and together with it's predecessors still the coolest space fleet RTS game ever.
