Dark Reign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dark Reign: The Future of War is a real-time strategy computer game for Microsoft Windows, developed by Auran and published by Activision in 1997. A sequel, Dark Reign 2 was released on June 30, 2000. While official servers have been discounted, a Dark Reign server has been set up by the community (which has resolved the Windows XP issues concerning the original servers) to allow gamers to play others on the internet. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dark_Reign   (638 words)

Dark Reign for PC video game review and cheats Additionally, Dark Reign allows you to set a series of waypoints for your troops, tweak how a given unit or platoon responds to a threat, change the aggressiveness of various units, order a trapped vehicle to self-destruct, and pack up your base onto giant treads and move to a nicer neighborhood. Dark Reign employs the standard mouse-driven commands for building, setting paths for your troops, etc., but it also adds in a series of sometimes cumbersome menus in the right-hand panel that allow the more advanced orders and actions described above. Dark Reign uses a very nice SVGA graphics engine that is particularly effective in rendering landscape, vegetation, and explosions, all of which adds a much more realistic feeling to the environment -- there is no sense here that the graphics are tacked on or that the landscape and terrain was an afterthought. www.gamezilla.com /reviews/d/darkreign.asp   (914 words)

AVault | PC | Dark Reign 2 Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) Yet, while Dark Reign was heavily criticized for its flawed attempts to incorporate 3D line-of-sight gameplay into a two-dimensional engine, those that played it found that it delivered unit-specific artificial intelligence as well as a lot of addictive gameplay. Dark Reign 2 however, at least in terms of storyline, isn't a sequel at all. The main conflict in Dark Reign 2 is between the elite protectorate JDA and the many gangs and militias that form the Sprawlers. www.avault.com /reviews/review_temp.asp?game=dkrn2   (748 words)

Dark Reign 2 review for the PC The sequel to the underground hit Dark Reign, this is a pretty if unspectacular addition to the current crop of 3D real-time strategy games. Dark Reign 2's most promising feature is its graphics, which are indeed quite cool. Dark Reign 2 comes at a strange point in PC strategy gaming when developers are slowly discovering that simply moving a 2D game to a 3D world doesn't make it revolutionary. www.gamerevolution.com /review/pc/dark_reign_2   (725 words)

Speedy 3D Despite a fairly quiet year, RTS games seem to be coming back in style with the advent of a few new ones, namely Ground Control and Earth 2150. Activision and Pandemic Studios' newest RTS title Dark Reign 2 hopes to build on the success of previous RTS titles adding full 3D support, and an in-depth story line (which is a prequel to the original Dark Reign no less). Dark Reign 2's opposing sides consist of the world protecting police force, JDA (Jovian Detention Authority) against the Sprawlers, a revolutionary band of rebels who are out to put an end to the JDA for good. www.speedy3d.com /reviews/dark_reign2   (384 words)

StrategyPlanet | First Looks | Dark Reign II Dark Reign II offers true 3D incorporating Intel's multi-resolution mesh technology that helps to keep game speeds high even with a large number of units on the screen. Dark Reign II is a prequal to the previous game. With this new 3D engine, hopefully Dark Reign II will be able to capture the kudos that the original game deserved and more. www.strategyplanet.com /content/firstlooks/darkreign2   (390 words)

Dark Reign 2 Preview Dark Reign II was envisioned as a unique approach to real-time strategy genre that would depart from the classic style of real-time strategies, and rise above so many of the CandC clones out there... Dark Reign 2 release date was pushed later on to Winter ’99. Dark Reign 2 will give players the freedom to fully immerse themselves in the action of a 3D world, smoothly transitioning from a top-down view to an infantry-level view and everything in between. www.actiontrip.com /previews/darkreign2.phtml   (1596 words)

Dark Reign 2 Strategy Guide - IGNguides Dark Reign 2 is a real-time strategy game (RTS) and a prequel to the original Dark Reign. The thrust of Dark Reign 2 is to demonstrate the superiority of your personal strategic techniques against an enemy force with different strengths and approaches than your own. To this end you must familiarize yourself with the advantages and disadvantages of the resources of the faction you choose, with while simultaneously observing and analyzing those same characteristics in regard to the opposing forces. guidesarchive.ign.com /guides/14056   (593 words)

AVault | PC | Dark Reign Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) Dark Reign has to be the most hyped and subsequently the most anticipated strategy game of recent time. Under the surface of the story is a familiar premise: control one of two warring factions, gather resources, build and command your troops, become victorious and rule the planet/empire/galaxy/farm. There are twelve missions in Dark Reign, and each can be played as either the Imperium or the Freedom Guard. www.avault.com /reviews/review_temp.asp?game=darkrn&page=1   (397 words)

Future Games Network -- Dark Reign 2 Review (PC) Titles such as Dark Region 2 require a lot of movement at one time, and most developers are replacing quality graphics for quantity. While Dark Reign 2’s controls are similar, there are several significant changes, and I found myself inadvertently sending my units to their deaths a number of times thanks to my automatic "Starcraft–based" responses. While the campaigns in Dark Reign 2 are wonderful, the high point of the title has to be the multiplayer gaming. www.fgn.com /reviews/activision/darkreign2_rev.html   (726 words)

Sharky Games - '+$ArtG+' - '+$ArtC+' - '+$ArtN+' Dark Reign 2 is a real time strategy game with decidedly average AI, only mildly original opposing armies and not too much in the way of anything overly new on whole. As I mentioned, Dark Reign 2 is an unremarkable game at first look. Although there are differences, a number of units are pretty similar on both sides, such as the Sprawler Thunder Cannon and the JDA Mastiff, both mobile artillery pieces. www.sharkygames.com /games/reviews/d/dark_reign_2   (427 words)

Virtual Urth: Dark Reign Reviewed By Cezanne Huq   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) Dark Reign is inherently different than it's RTS predecessors. Dark Reign's sound effects are elaborate and provide the appropriate ambience. Dark Reign holds a lot of potential for serious RTS enthusiasts, part of the attraction towards RTS games is the figuring out of a lot of hidden pleasures. www.virtualurth.com /games/darkreign.html   (1165 words)

GameStats: Dark Reign 2 Dark Reign 2 will introduce gamers to the first true 3D RTS game this fall.

Dark Reign Central After trying to make something of the very unsupported API that the Dark Reign server runs with, I have managed to finally(!) complete a direct link from a standalone app. What this means in plain english is that it is possible to talk in the Dark Reign lobby without actually running the game. Welcome to the Dark Reign League, a semi-clone of the old Cases Ladder, but without the problems (such as 1 game a day, adverts, deleting of inactivite members). www.darkreign.us   (1121 words)

IGN: Dark Reign 2 Review If enough people get into Dark Reign 2 to form a regular community of online players, map editors, and all the rest of it, than the game can be considered a success. But our final topic, Dark Reign 2's appallingly generic game design, really bugged the crap out of me, and it's what ultimately is going to make me put this game away as soon as this review is done. In the end, Dark Reign 2 is what it is: a formulaic real-time strategy game married to state of the art technology and cutting edge visuals. pc.ign.com /articles/164/164056p1.html   (1944 words)

Dark Reign Preview - PC News at GameSpot Dark Reign spends a lot of time unfolding a twisting narrative - this being the first of a planned series of titles. Those who are looking for something a little more subtle will find solace in the ranged death-dealing abilities of the sniper and the ultra sneaky antics of the scout, a unit who can actually change into the shape of any of the local flora (rocks, trees, etc.) to stay hidden from enemy view. All of this activity takes place on maps that are to be four times the size of those included in Command and Conquer, with art and sound effects that are both sharp and fast moving and add a great deal to the overall military atmosphere of the game. gamespot.com /pc/strategy/darkreign/news.html?sid=2558606&mode=recent   (844 words)

Dark Reign 2 (pc: 2000): Reviews "Dark Reign 2" gave me everything I was expecting: solid gameplay, great graphics, and a fun way to kill several hours. Lack of game speed control, poor pathfinding and AI, and other problems put Dark Reign 2 at the lower end of the scale for RTS games.
