I tried to get into Dark Reign. I really wanted to like the game, but everything from the units and buildings down to the sounds, map and interface just didn't draw me in. Instead it pushed me away. The game seemed to be "build up a force as soon as possible, stop enemy attack, launch attack and win". I found the game actually to hard. The enemy seemed to attack to early and with a force so large it quickly overwhelmed your base. In other words, you have no chance to even hold them off, let alone counter attack and maybe win. There were other RTS titles out around the same time, Total Annihilation for example. Now out of TA or Dark Reign, i think most people would agree that TA wins hands down. Maybe thats the reason i couldn't get into Dark Reign, i was to busy playing a better game. There really isn't much point in playing the game now though, Dark Reign 2 was out a while ago too. The sequel was a flop, although i didn't think it was that bad. I preferred Dark Reign 2 over the original. I guess it's one of those games you either love or hate, unfortunitly i was the latter and didn't like it.
