A Remake of a classic before old skool was cool again.

User Rating: 8.8 | Dune 2000 PC
By Caladan | Review Date:
People should not expect a brand new volume in a saga. Rather it is a luxury hardback edition of the original paperback, which in time has somewhat lost it's glossy cover and probably a few of its pages.

The atmosphere resounds the old game, though the music is more rich the old tunes ring true. The old drawings are replaced for ones that allow more detail and only add to the dirty, grainy and sandy feel of the world.

The biggest let down for those expecting a fresh version by an old recipe are only let down by the mentats.

All in all it is worth a buy if you miss the feel, the nostalgia, but can't stand the tedious time it takes to get it to work on your machine. Then again, with vista around today we'll probably need to beg for a new version once more.
