: Ok, I got the game today and was prepared for the worst, since Iīve read a lot of junk about it.
: But I loved Dune2, so I did not hesitate about buying this game, and Iīm very pleased with that.
: The game rocks! And the cutscenes are some of the best Iīve seen. It seems to me that Westwood
: is way ahead of Blizzard when it comes to cutscenes and 3d animation. Just watch the intro, this
: is fullscreen, perfect quality. And real actors!
: I donīt understand all the people complaining, I will try to answer some of the usual
: complaints here:
: "The game looks just like RA, but on sand!"
: If someone says this, he must be either blind, or he hasnīt played RA for a great while.
: The graphics is lightyears beyond RA, and this is not an enhanced RA engine.
: Ok, the interface is mainly the same, but hey! Why change something that is good?
: "The game is unplayable, because itīs so slow"
: ????
: Either you have a really slow computer, or you have set the game speed to slowest.
: I actually think the game is sometimes too fast, an enemy tank can squish all your infantry in seconds.
: "the game is just like dune 2"
: Now this was the intention, wasnīt it? To keep the Dune 2 atmosphere with new graphics and interface?
: And besides, many of the units are actually completely new units with the old names, like Siege tank and Quad
: Ok, I canīt remember more complaints nows, but that doesnīt matter... the game is fun! thatīs what matters!
: The team has really managed to keep the Dune atmosphere, if you have read the books,
: you will recall many names and concepts from them, like the names of the mentats and leaders, except
: for Ordos, of course, and the places (Sieth Tabr, the names of all the multiplay maps). Actually, I think someone who hasnīt read the books will not get the most out of it.
(from Tommy T)- i want to start by saying that i dont want to be rude,i play starcraft,dark reighn, total A, i own them all and play them all, i play only online vs other humans, after playing these games to the point of total burnout,i was excited to ad dune2000 to my collection..but the game play is slower than any game im used to, in fact it drags to the point of frustration waiting on your troops to move across the map, in a six player map,to help your allie and have to go to opposite sides of the map is all but out of the question because by the time they get there its all over, this to me was a major flaw in the game(to slow of troop movement), and let me finish by saying that my computer speed is well beyond the norm and also my friends i play with, i think that your not used to games that move along,if you say that the game play is sometimes "to fast" then never play starcraft at fastest vs good players bcause youll never last more than 10 seconds, i have to laugh, to fast thats funny
