Adding it all up, Dark Reign 2 weighs in as a worthy successor to the original. I am especially pleased that Pandemic and Activision pulled off the technical side: fully implementing a traditional RTS within a 3D world. Though the game lacks the compelling narrative of StarCraft, the technology tree of Age of Empires, or the sheer number of units available in Total Annihilation, it is one heck of a game. It is the most visually pleasing of any RTS I've played. Though Dark Reign 2 can boast the best technology on store shelves, it's not the technology that sells games - it's gameplay. In that respect, Dark Reign 2 stands shoulder to shoulder with the best. If you felt cheated by Tiberian Sun, you will feel fortunate when playing Dark Reign 2.
