PC Critic Reviews

The tweaks to the interface make the mechanics of the game much less frustrating and the amalgamation of many different unit functions into a smaller group of units makes directing your forces easier.

Gorgeous visuals, an easy-to-use interface, and a great storyline all combine to make it one of the most dangerously addictive games I've ever played.

The story is exciting and reminds of a novel. Replay value is enormous, because when you pass the single player campaign, you can switch to Skirmish mode or Multiplayer.

The gameplay of the Homeworld series is now cemented as revolutionary. Games in the future will either draw upon this series as influence, or out and out steal its ideas. Homeworld and its sequel, Cataclysm, have done more for RTS than all others save perhaps Herzog Zwei and the PC Classic "Dune 2000."

Deep, complex gameplay, a fascinating story, and enough mystery and action to keep you on the edge of your seat for hours.

It is a very solid game that will draw you in and will beg you to play "just fifteen more minutes."

One of the best single-player campaigns ever makes this a great expansion to the Homeworld series. A "must-buy" game.

Barking Dog's attention to detail and their sincere desire to improve almost every aspect of the original has resulted in an extremely solid title that easily stands up to any real-time strategy game released this year. I am impressed.

A worthy follow-up to our 1999 Game of the Year. [Nov 2000, p.130]

Cataclysm has made some welcome improvements to the excellent original game and provides more fun with the best real-time space combat game to date.
