I played this so much back in the day. Loved creating the machines to created earthquakes/sinkholes/whatever the hell those were.

@Kingramennoodle

No, not that load of turd, DR2 was abysmal compared to the first, and to think I rushed out to get that after loving the first one.

Dark Reign should never have leapt into 3D so quickly, if the had just maintained the 2D with better detail and then made the transition to 3D now to look like Red Alert 3 and Star Craft 2, it would be a much better series. DR2 ruined everything :(

I think I remember this and Total Annihilation coming out around the same time, and most people considered Total Annihilation the superior game... Ah, the good old days.

Blast from the past! I installed this played a level and got bored. Forgot it existed even.

@Marco le Polo Yes, the soundtrack WAS awesome! I ripped from one of the game discs, where I think it was plain 'ole CD Audio. Those were the days, too.
