Review by cherylkyrandia

Dune II is a pioneer of real time strategy games. It also pioneers the Dune universe, which was mostly not tapped into in a visual sense beyond the books at the time. Sure, there could have been a bit more effort placed into the storyline and perhaps voice actors could have been employed, but it never the less was certainly an immersive experience.

The story centres on three houses going to battle for the world of Arrakis in the pursuit of the precious substance, spice. It's an addictive hallucinogen believed to give all sorts of beautiful visions. But there are forces on the planet to contend with, including the native Fremen and worms.
