Fans of Dune will really love this .This is a must for anyone who played Dune 2000.It is one of the few Ea/Westwood games that will play on Windows 7 with little problems , unlike Command & Conquer,The First Decade .Plays well with XP too.

THE SPICE MUST FLOW! I loved the original story (even though NOT the franchised series been ghostwritten as you are reading this). However, one needs not be a DUNE fan to enjoy this wonderful game!

The graphics are only slightly dated today, almost at par with GENERALS. And as an extra bonus, they will truly shine even on currently low-end machines. The units are well designed and clearly visible in any zoom-level - something surprisingly rare even in new games (such as SUPREME COMMANDER) in which one can either zoom-in or play. Plus, the battlefield view is rotatable, another feature I miss in many new RTS games. I especially enjoy the way the buildings come up and the targeting-lasers of the snipers as they move around.

If this is not the the best strategy game, it is definitely well within the Top-5 all-time RTS! Well balanced gameplay (at par with C&C-TIBERIUM WARS), good story-line, interesting videos and random environmental events (sand-storms, worm-attacks) to keep the field level in the name of Shai-Hulud.

Sad but true, lawyers and stockbrokers have taken over the business. True game-designers are pushed around - if not entirely out of the picture.
I bought the game some years back but still take it out once in a while. They don't make them like this anymore...

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Have wanted this game since hearing about it but never was able to find it locally. Sort of discovered it while looking for something else and decided to get it. I was lucky to get a very good used set of CDs and I'm now lost in playing. I really like the music. It's above what you usually hear and sort of reminds me of the Starcraft game. Great game. I recommend it highily!
