I love the black and white sketch quality to the scenes. The engine has only been improved since the last Homeworld. Especially with the holographic ships. When they turn on their projectors, its a really nice effect to see the holograph form. And now the backgrounds are slightly animated too, with flashes coming from the nebulas.
Sounds are up to par with the last game.
The only thing I really miss is the gypsy style music that they had in the original. They have music in this one too, which, by itself is quite unique, and suits the game, but you can't help miss the strange tunes of the original. Sound Effects are quite nice, though I think they tried to make some of the pilot voices a bit more comical than the last one. Otherwise, ship sounds, and gun sounds, and laser sounds are all great.
