By far the best RTS game around! [Posted on 2005-09-23]
I picked up this game when I saw it on sale. I liked Dune 2000, though it wasn't that great. This gamer however, broke the mold. I have never seen a cooler real time strategy then this game. The graphics are incredible, the story is cool, the units are sweet, and the videos rock.

Emperor: Battle For Dune [Posted on 2005-09-24]
What a great update to Dune 2000. The sounds and graphics are great and it works fine on my Windows XP Pro Laptop. No freeze ups and the only minor quirks that I noticed is that sometimes the rendering of a unit (most often the harvestor) shows "cloaked" when it's not really cloaked. Also, telling the harvestors to mine spice in a certain area sometimes doesn't "stick" to the orders given. This game has given me many hours (days/weeks) worth of single player real time strategy fun without getting into the complication like Age of Mythology. I only wish we could team up the computer AI to fight against you as the computer AIs will fight one another and you if you select more than one player in the skirmish battle. I haven't played the game online (who knows if people play this game anymore with Age Of Mythology and Age of Empires out there). This is a cult classic that is very enjoyable. If you liked DUNE 2000 then get Emperor: Battle For Dune. You won't regret it.

Be atredies(i know im a bad speller) [Posted on 2006-07-22]
well, another game from westwood, another very unfair game from westwood. This game graphics r pretty bad(good for the time though) so im not going to complain about that. The one thing that made my rating for it so low was because the ONLY tactic the computers use is mass rushing, which ive noticed the atredies are by far best at. They have the best unit in the game by the way, which has best attack force,and best defence Its speed is preety terrible, but if you try to run out in the open to try to kill it, the other computers attack you before you can as much as weaken it. I wouldn't reccommend this game to any new real time strategy players; however i would reccommend it to people who enjoy rushing games.

Once it was the best [Posted on 2006-09-30]
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.

Better than the original. [Posted on 2007-08-31]
Graphics, sound and story line are all great. Looks realisitc and always keeps you guessing as to what will happen next. Great game and a great buy. Strategy is a must for this game.
