"Nice game, movies, but not nice to play through the second time"

I've heard before about Dune 2, and Dune 2000 is the same but with movies. This game looks a lot like the C&C games, but the only ground colours you'll see is brown, dark brown and light brown.

Gameplay/Control - 7/10
-Solid and responsive, it follows the tracks of C&C. Smaller units are harder to select though. Could have been better if more selection features were added. Gameplay slows down when you have too much onscreen.

Story - 6/10
-Something of the usual run, world conquest, must eliminate all other forces. But then this is about sand planet, and what else you aim for? Cashflow from mining.

Graphics - 6/10
-Average at best, comes neatly, but plain. You'll see lots of sand and cliffs, but NO plants. Ice is available, only on about 1 or 2 missions. Thats all you'll see besides your units.

Sound - 7/10
-Clear voices and effects, but not creative enough. Usual run of 'yes sir's and all that. Tank sounds are also about the same from any other game.

Replayability - 3/10
-Nice to play, but then after that, you won't wanna see it again, until maybe a year or so. Missions are all about the same, collect this and this, destroy this and this, etc. Nothin nice to replay.

Final grade? Bad. Just for those who didn't play Dune 2. Additions of movies are OK, but doesn't appeal much to me. If possible to rent, then rent, don't buy.
