Yes and No. The SP Game is Basicly a Rehash of the First game, But It was a Darn Good Storyline so. The Ease of features Is where the Game really set's Itself apart from the First Game.

Besides, I've seen It Below 10 bocks here in Ok. Shop around and Give IT a try. It Is A Fun Game.

Could never get into Homeworld.  Too difficult for me.  Controls were really difficult.  I mean, it's pretty silly when you can't say to a group, "Intercept this group and attack them".  Setting the exact 3d course and then needing to update it if your guess is off was just too nutty for me.  I never got a large enough fleet to see any really cool battles, but it also seemed the game was pretty restricted in terms of actual fleet-based strategy.  You can use what the game has strategically, but I never saw anything that was particularly strategic in ship placement, formation, or manuevering.
