If it's going to be Dune, it should at least be Dune!

After having read this description and seeing a gameplay video, I am very disappointed at this game. It calls itself Dune, but so much is incorrect about it. The actual game itself is a prettier version of Red Alert 2, which was excellent. I guess if you want that cozy feeling that you are playing a Dune game, not pretending you are, than you should get this game. I find the faster paced strategy games to get rather obsolete faster (how ironic). Spice takes a long time to get a full load, as demonstrated in Dune II, but the faster the mining is the more unrealistic it gets. Your best bet is to find another strategy game, but if you want Dune than you can get this.

Excellent 3D Strategic Warfare

I like this Game because it has spectacular FX effects and great 3D Images, Also the curse of the game depends of the decitions of the player, that is very important into a strategic game, If you like Strategic games don't let pass this game, Cool!!

A little advice

When I first started the game,Atreides was by far the best.
They've the best weapons I ever saw,including the sonic tank.
Even the ornithopter's back,and you control where they go this time.Everything went well until I had to face the Emperor Worm.
He's incredible, & I could never beat him. So I'm asking if any body has any ideas.

Once it was the best

Well, this game was pretty good at the time it was released.. But AI is just to stupid to play single player, and multiplayer is poor. I would say, if you like real time strategies, Generels: Zero Hour is far better choice +this game is definitely not worth its current price.. Although 2 years ago it was fun.

'A gamer from pittsburg' what kind of review was that???

'I hope westwood doesn't screw this one up'

Have you played the game?

Why did you write a 'review'? The screenshots worth 5 stars alone were they....?

well...

this game is kinda cool it is similar to starcraft but much faster peace as in you don't have to build up your city or what ever you want to call it as much.

I'm running a penutm3 550 and 192 mags of ram and dsl connection. The game freezes. And when theirs a bit going on it gets choppy malti player games are pointless playing the menus don't even run smoothly. So maybe if you got a newer computer it might be worth buying but if you got like a 550 mhz or something you might want to think about it

Not a bad rehash

Emporer is a well done 3D rehash of all the other Westwood Studios real time strategy games. This time however, most combat turns into a battle of attrition forcing even more unit buliding than in the C&C and RA games. They spent a lot of time/money on full motion video that could have been better spent on new, innovative units and gameplay tweaking.

This games looks superb but...

it works on almost no computers except for like a pentium 32 and the game play isnt that good even if you play. This game has to be one of the worst westwood has created. If you like games games like this I would definitly get Age of the Empires II or Red Alert 2. They are much better than this

Warning big disapointment coming

This game dissapointed me, it looked so great, which it does graphic wise, and i started to play it... and I saw most of the old units back, and that didn't really get to me, because I was gaping at the graphics. after i stopped drooling i realized I had sent my gas troopers to fight some tanks, first problem, the units are sometimes hard to distinquish, that was minor. But it was while they were on the way to attack, they just pranced along, doing there own thing, go up the mountin some one else goes around, no idea what they are doin. That is the second problem. Now another biggy, Westwood did not make an "attack en route" function, so the enemy takes pot shots at your stupid men,., and waypoints? I won't go there.(I would puke)
The story line is cool execpt that ordos woman angered me.
I am satisfied with the cinematics, only because Micheal Mcshean is in them. and i know him from tv shows and other movies. ie. "Office Space", and the british version(the first one) of "Who's Line is it Anyway"
Over all it was just unsatisfying. I never finished it because it was not a pleasent experience. And i almost always finish games. If you just like RTS's for no reason, then get it, otherwise save your money for better things.
