The Sandworm roams the sands of Dune, attracted by moving ground units and can devour them whole. Sandworms are almost impossible to destroy, have a voracious appetite, and will consume military hardware. Attracted by vibrations, they frequent battlefields and often devour numerous combatants. The Sandworms are indigenous to Dune. Sandworms are an environmental hazard in Dune II.

I love the fact that you have to create concrete so you can build your buildings without the worry of getting damage by the sand and wind. I'm a huge fan of strategy games and Dune 2000 is no exception. Since this is from Westwood it uses the C&C engine which is great. Controls are a lot better too. This now has FMVs to give you mission briefs and further the story.

But it wasn't enough for me. Sure there are some unique units like the Freeman and the Mammoth Tank. The only problem I do have with Dune 2000 is that all the basic units like the trike and the tank all look the same with only minor changes in the stats. The Sandworms like the concrete, add more strategy and uniqueness to the game. If you ain't paying attention your harvester will become a snack and before you know it, you are out of funds. Also beware of the Sandworms.
