DR 2 then
I've always been a fan of RTS games, starting from C&C, and most to present day. Dark Reign 2, as someone mentioned, was flawed as a transition game, but still relatively playable. Pathfinding was a bit trippy, yes, but here was a futuristic game with 3D terrain, interesting PvP scenarios, etc. You have to get into the mindset of the game as there's quite a bit of micromanagement for the ground and sea units. The only thing I didnt really care for at the time was the overspecialized units. A robo mechwalker . . . "cool" . . . but it's anti-air only . . . "oh come on." Otherwise, sound is good, effects were great, and multiplay options were entertaining. The only true problem was the pathfinding . . . just means you need to be a bit pickier about how you place/move units and try not to get agitated when they're trapped at a wall and the opening is right next to them.

A very bland title
This is a 'me too' RTS: uninitiative, clunky, boring, ugly and downright not fun at all. If it wasn't called 'Dark Reign 2' it could easily be called: 'Yet another 3D RTS'. Steer clear away from it.

Pretty awful...
I remember getting it came out... The gameplay and story were quite uninspired, to say the least. I could not even finish this game, which is probably the first and last time I ever could not finish a game I bought. I would avoid it.
