Hi all,

I've been thinking about getting Homeworld 2.  Recently saw a lot of posts 
on this group about Homeworld 2.  Seems to be scarce in places, but as I 
live in the U.K., the game is still plentiful at budget prices at the 
moment.

What put me off buying it is that Homeworld 2 isn't rated that high compared 
to Homeworld 1:

Homeworld 2: 83% / 71%
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/homeworld2

Homeworld: 93% / 81%
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/homeworld

Homeworld Cataclysm: 89% / 100%
http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/homeworldcataclysm

Overall opinion appears to have dropped in Homeworld 2.

In the grand scheme of things, is Homeworld 2 a good game to get given the 
other games out there in the same genre at the moment?

Thanx.

AMO
