Dark Reign 2, a good game to those who have not played C&C. This game is basically an easier version of C&C. My brother got it for christmas and got tired of it after a couple of weeks, not because it was boring, he played what levels he could complete over and over again so as to almost make it a basic human reaction. Meanwhile I had decided to give this 'really hard' game a go. I found it no more difficult than any other C&C clone. The basic idea is to build as many middle strength units as you possibly can in the shortest expanse of time. That and defend your base like a new born babe. Then you can rush all you units to kick the lights ...  Read the complete review

Command and Conquer has spawned so many different games it would have been a great idea for Westwoods finances if they put a patent on the game type when they released Dune 2 and then charged people to make games that beared any kind of resemblance to it. However they didnt do that and the world is all the better because of it. Dark Reign 2 has nothing new about it. The same formula of build, attack and collect resources is there with not a great deal changed. The graphics are top-notch and the interface easy to use, however there are certain things that bring the game down. Number 1: Difficulty. Now maybe I'm just a terrible games player, but I found it ...  Read the complete review

To say Dark Reign 2 crashes a lot would be a complete understatement. In full screen mode it can take as little as 3 minutes to completely lock up your system, forcing you to power down and risk damaging Windows. Windowed mode fares slightly better, and crashes are less frequent. It seems that this game was rushed out, and Activision just hoped that nobody would notice all of its serious flaws! However, having said all of that there is an update patch available, which makes that game much more stable, but you'll have to go onto the web site to download it. Straight from the box this game will frustrate, and it really shouldn't have ...  Read the complete review

The overall production quality is high, with good sound, adequate voice acting and plenty of in engine CGI to keep the story moving. This isn't a rushed game. The multiplayer is decent and can be much more fun than the single player, mainly because human players tend to be more imaginative than the CPU. Frankly, there ain't a lot new here to report, folks. Dark Reign 2 comes at a strange point in PC strategy gaming when developers are slowly discovering that simply moving a 2D game to a 3D world doesn't make it revolutionary. It does, however, make it look really cool, and fans of 3D strategy could do much worse than Dark Reign 2. ...  Read the complete review
