Frank Herbert's Dune is a 3D adaptation of the novel about a struggle between intergalactic feudal governments for control of the cruel but crucial planet Dune. Following a plot of justice and vengeance, you take the role of the gifted Paul Atreides to lead the mystic Fremen tribes against the House of Harkonnen, which massacred his family and stole his birthright in its greedy quest for power.
As Paul Atreides, you must complete a series of missions to prove your worth to the Fremen, including evasion or killing of Harkonnen soldiers. Gameplay elements include stealth (knifing guards from the side or from behind) and overt methods using a variety of projectile weapons. Healing your character of damage requires water -- on the desert planet, water is life. As water is limited in natural form, surprising and killing an enemy soldier with a knife allows you to take a portion of his body's water for healing purposes.
Frank Herbert's novel Dune is considered a classic of the genre. Dreamcatcher Interactive's software version of the adventure allows you to experience the harsh realities of Atreides existence as he strives to unite the fierce Fremen to regain his birthright. As a prerequisite, though, he must also come to terms with the Fremen's growing belief that he's the messiah, long foretold in legend.
During the two years with the Fremen, the storyline revolves around Paul and his integration into the very heart of the Fremen tribe. Spies, intrigue and assassination attempts are everyday occurrences for Paul. The atmosphere is clearly felt and meticulously reproduced throughout the game. You play one of two survivors from the apocalyptic aftermath of the Atreides massacre plotted by the diabolical Baron Harkonnen.
* As Paul, you must undertake many missions and display your bravery and worth. You must destroy the Spice smugglers, harass the Harkonnen, sabotage factories, discover new hiding places to stock spices, and so forth. During your missions, you will be forced to explore all known places on Dune. By doing so, you will be able to perfect your fighting techniques. Prepare yourself for battle and knife combat, and practise the powers that will make you an exceptional being and an invincible force to be reckoned with.
* The essence of the game is based on action fuelled with finesse and discretion. The art of infiltration, of going unnoticed and striking the enemy, stealing plans and information without the enemy noticing; are just some of the aims of the operations led by the Fremen in preparation for their final attack...and the ultimate fight for solidarity and independence.
* Dune is a stunning 3D real-time extravaganza that is 2/3 action and 1/3 adventure
