HW's textures are all excellent, andthe environments are very agreeable and colorful. There is a decidedly special thrill from watching the conflict unfold around you. Sound is near - brilliant. I have not heard a soundtrack of this quality in a very long time. It resembles new age, and truly does convey a sense of the vastness of space, and the enormity and desperation of the task before you.
Sound effects are consistent and surround soundeffects well done.
In short, Homeworld is one of those games that is almost as much fun to watch as they are to play. I doubt it. Homeworld does suffer some of the same unit behavior problems that plague the other members of its genre. Units will not defend themselves unless ordered to do so. As you can imagine, this will end up costing you more than a few units.
