In a few choice words, this game kicks Asteroids!

Absolutely spellbinding graphics, the sound isn't spectacular, but gets by.
82
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.
71
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."
60
There's nothing all that special about the units or the missions, and there's absolutely no innovation to the gameplay itself.

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.
