    Arguably the PC strategy game of the year to beat.

    Puts its aging competition to shame with its polished visuals and offers a challenging, though sometimes frustrating, single-player experience.

    With its spectacular graphics, awesome sound, and easy-to-use interface, "DR2" is a perfect example of how to make a great 3D real-time strategy game, but the gameplay may be too familiar for gamers who have grown tired of the genre.

    Fans of 3D strategy could do much worse.

    An often entertaining and graphically stunning title that fans of the genre will want to play.
  7. CNET Gamecenter

    A solid if unassuming 3D real-time strategy that will score well with "Dark Reign" and multiplayer fans.

    Well balanced single player campaign caters to noobies to serious RTS strategists, on and offline multi is good, quite a good looking RTS for 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
