Dune 2000 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are familiar with the Dune universe and are not that familiar with strategy games, Dune is a good game for you.I have the Sega Genesis version which I played long ago and this game is very similar to that.Youhave an option to play as anyone of three houses: Atreides, Harkonnen orOrdos.Although it in no way resembles the story line of the novels, ithas many familiar elements.The hatred between the Harkonnen and Atreidesstill exist.And you must harvest spice to be successful on Dune. Harvesting the spice in the game is basically your resource gathering. Spice allows you to purchase new units and build structures.Your basicgoal beyond harvesting spice is to gain control of the planet byeliminating the competing houses.There are about 8 or 9 scenarios foreach house and they progress in difficulty.In some of the later scenariosyou will be hooked playing for hours and wondering where the time went. Although this is a relatively simple RTS game, it still provides enjoymentwhen playing.If you are looking for greater immersion in detail anddifficulty I would suggest the Command and Conquer series.
I would liketo see Westwood create a new version of Dune in which you could play aseither Duke Leto, Paul Atreides, or the Baron Harkonnen.

Product Description:
Dune 2000 is a real-time strategy game that requires gallant leadership, cunning tactics, and formidable military prowess to win the Emperor's challenge by being the first to harvest the most spice and take control of Dune. Three houses have arrived to claim the prize: the honorable House Atreides, the insidious House Ordos, and the vicious House Harkonnen. Whichever house you choose to lead, remember that the balance between power and efficiency will lead you to victory. Wage successful strikes to interrupt your opponents' spice production while protecting your own. But beware, the untamed desert holds challenges beyond that of your enemies. Giant sand worms can devour your army with little warning, greedy merchants of CHOAM will plan to interrupt your spice production, and the backstabbing Emperor may provide aid to a house that is not yours.
