Samuel BarberAdagio for StringsHomeworld Soundtrack

Write me 1500 words on how 1999's Homeworld and 2001's Halo:CE, having similar overall settings and plot structures, used their groundbreaking scores to tell very different stories.

Then I'll accord you the right to have an opinion about... idk... Secrets of the Magic Crystal.

Track in link is the choral version of Samuel Barber's Angus Dei - Adagio for Stings as prepared for Homeworld. Arguably one of the most iconic tracks in the history of gaming. Gamers of a certain age will still feel their spine tingle and their throat close up...

    HW2 is still a great game in many ways, single player balance issues aside.

    Personally I felt like the HW2 story was a lot more hand-wavey and mystical whereas HW's story felt a little mystical only in the sense that your whole people are completely out of your depth regarding galactic history.
