75It bored me a bit. Without any real history or story behind the factions fighting, I just felt kind of disjointed the entire time I was playing.
-
A been-there-done-that title that does pretty well by itself. [May 2002, p.93]
-
72A typical RTS with some atypical races. It would be a nice introduction to the newcomer to the genre, and veterans of this mode or warfare will find it challenging.
-
In the AI department, Dark Planet is consistently inconsistent.
-
62Sports some of the best visuals you'll find in a strategy game, real-time or otherwise... [but features] one of the most annoying user-interfaces for any strategy game in recent memory.
-
Call it a "StarCraft" homage, call it a "Starcraft" clone, Dark Planet is still a good, entertaining RTS. [June 2002, p.90]
-
56It also has an interface that seems designed to shield you from actually playing the game.
-
DP:BfN has numerous elements that make the game cumbersome to play, and drain it of enjoyment.
-
55There's not an original idea in this competent but dull game's pretty little pre-programmed head. [June 2002, p.61]
-
Could be a solid RTS if not for the lack of story and the cluttered and variant interface.
-
One of the worst real-time strategy games I’ve ever played.
-
A prime example of how amazing graphics can't make up for lackluster gameplay.
-
40Superior graphics...but its poor interface, repetitious campaign modes and unchallenging AI has relegated it to just another also-ran.
-
40That is the real problem with Dark Planet, it doesn’t do anything that might keep me interested in playing it (and with over 40 missions it should be trying to).
