There's nothing all that special about the units or the missions, and there's absolutely no innovation to the gameplay itself.

If the glowing gameplay hasn't already enticed you, the splendid, fully-3D graphics should.

Not much innovation, but a solid 3D RTS that purists and online addicts should enjoy. [Oct 2000, p.139]

Been a long time since I played this game, but I remember it bored the hell of out me. Played a lot of RTS games too.

In a few choice words, this game kicks Asteroids!

Absolutely spellbinding graphics, the sound isn't spectacular, but gets by.

By far the game's greatest fault is the unit pathfinding. Units spend a lot of time jostling one another when trying to move even across open ground or water.

I can't help think that a lot of great technology was wasted on what's ultimately a boring and predictable design.

Competently put together, with some lovely graphics at times, but totally lacking in any originality, personality or a reason to buy it.

"Dark Reign 2" might fail to stand tall with titles like "Ground Control," "Homeworld," and "Starcraft."
