The game was criticised by some for not adding enough fresh content, and for an inferior interface compared to its competitors - most notably Total Annihilation. The story, told with animations and subtitles in the original Dune II, is now told with full motion video starring actors such as John Rhys-Davies. Using a game engine which resembles Westwood's Command & Conquer: Red Alert, Dune 2000 is a remake of Dune 2. The story of the game is similar to Dune II, and is continued in Emperor: Battle for Dune.
It is considered as an enhanced remake of Dune II. It is based in Frank Herbert's science fiction Dune universe.
Dune 2000 is a Dune computer game, released by Westwood Studios in 1998.
