RE: Homeworld Computer Game

The game is awesome.  I agree however that the multi-player option is

more enjoyable than the single player missions.  Some of the mission
expectations are pretty incredible, and require dying several times to
narrow your strategy.

However, it is an excellent game and well worth the money.
