I finished the Ordos campaign and thought, "yeah I'm good now!"
Gosh, what an awesome blast from the past. When I was a youth, RTS were one of my favorite genres from the very first Dune when I played it on my Genesis, and in a lot of ways, Dune 2000 feels like the sort of zenith of 2D RTS of this mold.
I think Red Alert 2 is better in almost every way, but Red Alert 2 was the beginning of a new era, whereas Dune 2000 feels like the end of an old one. I love the way it sounds, the way it looks, the way it plays (even the old-school interface and UI and all)--it's all just so charming to me.
Dune 2000 is definitely a "if you could only play one game in this genre to get a feeling for what they feel and look like" sort of game
