The Original DOS game comes back for Win 95/98. It's WORTH the buy. If you missed your chance in '93, don't worry...

First off, once again, many gaming reviewers don't seem to think too highly about this game. What they need to understand is that WESTWOOD STUDIOS was the original creators of todays RTS games. Plus, this game WAS the original RTS and is what started the rest of the other RTS wannabes. Okay, so it's a remake, at least they made this game for Windows Users rather than trying to get this to work for DOS mode.

Anyways, this is my all time fav game ever since the original. What's more interesting is that the remake is much tougher than the original. Even though it's really a mock up of the Command & Conquer, this is still my fav that I like to play all the time.

GRAPHICS
=========
Fantastic! The graphics are as good, if not better, than Command & Conquer. The video cinematics are very well detailed and they picked very good actors to play the parts. They even explain what's expected for each map with clear detail. You will love how the graphics and detail is mixed together. All the art work has been put to the limits

CONTROL
=========
Controls couldn't be more simple. The game is all controlled with the use of a mouse. Just about everything is either clicking a button or controlling a military vehicle or soldier. Not much more to say on the controls. You can't get more simple than that.

OVERALL
========
This is an excellent game to get for a young one or someone who wants to learn about RTS games such as War Craft, Command & Conquer, Star Craft, Total Annihilation, and many others that are being made.

If you are interested, they did make this game for a console. This game came out for the Genesis game system. Regardless if it's the DOS, Win 95/98 or the Genesis version, they all play very well and you will love the ide of RTS games to come once you are done with this one.

    There's this problem with games where the FMVs tend to be sixty times better than the actual game. In the case of Dune 2000, this is very very true. (The only game so far that Ive played fully that has managed to abolish... Read Full Review
