The deathmatch option is great practice, because you can train for regular gameplay without plot interruptions. Veteran gamers will complete the two single-player missions quickly. The tutorial provides a cursory introduction to controlling the camera and the basic interface, but you'll need more practice to master all the controls. The demo version provides one tutorial, two single-player missions, and two multiplayer missions, as well as a single-player deathmatch against the computer. Despite some slowness in cut scenes and between missions, Homeworld 2 combines intense action, an immersive story, and detailed 3D graphics to create an enjoyable space-strategy game.
Gamers must collect resources, construct space fleets, and battle the Vaygrs to survive. In this sequel, a renegade clan called the Vaygrs threatens the Hiigarans' existence. In the original Homeworld, descendants of Hiigara fought their way to their ancestral home.
