This review is from: Dune (CD-ROM)
Albeit an older game, this is probably the best Dune game out there. It's not a shooter, nor is it a wargame. This is all about politics, true military & logistical strategy & playing the part of Paul well.
You start out just brought to Arrakis & take an ornithopter to find Fremen & make deals w/ them, gain their trust, convince them to work for House Atreides. Eventually your powers develop, you train Fremen to fight, mine spice, collect water, spy on the Harkonnens, prospect for spice, even grow plants. All the major players from Dune are present, save for Paul's sister Alia. Almost all of the plot events take place in this game. You can, theoretically play it endlessly if you don't choose to take the Harkonnens fortresses & take full command of Dune. But to master the game you must learn how to use agriculture to destroy the spice in key areas to choke the Harkonnens income & thereby their favor w/ the Emperor. As you get more gutsy you can have your Fremen attack their bases after you equip them w/ various nasty pieces of weaponry including atomics! You can learn to ride a worm, drink the water of life & become God-Emperor. Make no mistake, the game is time-consuming & is not easy to beat. You will have to think, work, negotiate, command & eventually conquer. However, never do you yourself take an active role in the fighting, nor can you command your troops in battle as individuals or units, you dispatch tribes as companies to battle & then sit back & watch which may disappoint many RTS gamers. This game is worth the money though, believe me. It is old, yes, it is DOS, yes, the graphics are literally cartoony, yes. Also, most of the characters portrayals are rather over-the-top w/ Thufir Hawat & the Emperor Shaddam IV being some strange kind of aliens.

This review is from: Dune (CD-ROM)
This is hands-down the greatest Dune game out there. It is very old, and the graphics are nothing compared to any game released in the last ten years of course.. But the game was just so well made, and completely captivates you for sooo many hours of gameplay. It is challenging, and definitely has a wonderful re-play value.
