The hardware race keeps getting louder. Westwood Studios said the eagerly anticipated Dune 2000 shipped to retailers today. The update of the first real-time strategy game has all the addictive gameplay of the original and adds new features such as high-resolution graphics, Internet/LAN play, and a Command & Conquer-style interface for quick and easy gameplay.

Dune 2000 has all the multiplay features that gamers demanded, including support for up to four players over Westwood Online, eight players over a LAN, and a skirmish mode against up to seven computer opponents. Dune 2000 also features new video mission briefings inspired by the sets and costumes of the movie, which make each battle more dramatic and create a rich game environment.
