  • Summary: With a new 3-D engine and a host of features -- gorgeous 3-D terrain and units, traditional top-down and immersive "on the battlefield" camera viewpoints, true line of sight, and unprecedented battlefield control -- DR2 will innovate the RTS genre and give gamers the most exhilarating war experience ever.

  1. In a few choice words, this game kicks Asteroids!
  2. 85
    A good game with very cool camera options and great use of a 3-D engine but it could have used something a little more original in the gameplay area to truly set it apart from the rest.
  3. Puts its aging competition to shame with its polished visuals and offers a challenging, though sometimes frustrating, single-player experience.
  4. 71
    Competently put together, with some lovely graphics at times, but totally lacking in any originality, personality or a reason to buy it.

    Well balanced single player campaign caters to noobies to serious RTS strategists, on and offline multi is good, quite a good looking RTS for its time. DR2 loses points however due to slow game speed, more lack of a game speed bar at all, very small unit and build trees. Expand
