Summary: Waste of Money
Review: 1 star is 1 too many for this disgrace. I bought it hoping for a glimmer of the brilliance in Herbert's novels, but no such luck. Not only did the graphics, storyline, controls, and gameplay fall flat on their face, the game also froze before I ever made it out of the first level. Do not buy this game.

Summary: Huge dissapointment to Dune fans
Review: Firstly can I say that I played this game on PS2 for some reason they don't have that version of it here on Amazon.com. Still regardless of the format this game is so astoundingly bad that it still deserves a savaging. Even on a Playstation Controller the controls for this game are still awkward and clumsy. You chop and change camera with a confusing speed, which is especially annoying, when you attempting to sneak up on some one shoot them from a distance. Paul also has an annoying habit of getting stuck to walls when he is being shot. Normally you can walk up to a wall and put your back to it to sneak past guards and staff but you need to actually pull yourself away from a wall in order to respond to a guards attack.

The gameplay is also the complete pants. It skips or fast forwards through large chunks of the Dune story and used so much of the jargon of the books without clear explanation that you would have to be a serious devotee of the books to follow the plot. Hell this is even worse than David Lynch's Dune movie! Important details like the codes you need to open locked doors are hidden in the smallest most hard to see places that you waste literally hours looking for them. Also for a 3rd person shooter / RPG the lack of ammo is an absolute joke. For example in the second level there are seven guards to kill, each guard takes 3 shots to kill provided you are a good shot and you only have 15 bullets!

You are a complete sucker if you buy this game. Trade it now before it ruins your life. If you are even contemplating renting it don't. Read the book (again) or hire the David Lynch movie of the TV mini series.

Summary: Horrible
Review: Horrible only begins to describe this game. Putrid tripe put out to make a buck. Could they make the controls more confusing. If I were an octopus, maybe I would have arms enough to control the keyboard, mouse, and (I swear) telepathic controls. Did I mention that the game is horrible.

Summary: One of the worst I ever bought
Review: I could not wait to get it off my computer. Arrow and other keyboard commands. If it was mouse, you could at least control the character better. I emailed Dreamcaster and even though I did not buy it from them, they agreed to exchange it for another of their games. (I got a mouse control game)
