    Old school classic RTS with many fresh ideas that are now common place elsewhere. Whilst this is the classic 3 team RTS with each race having their own ability, the multiplayer game was/is incredibly good fun. Hugely enjoyable old school romp.

    Underated, should be a solid 85% in my opinon.

    Unique RTS game from old times :-:)
    Races are different from each other which keeps you playing it constantly.
    Good visuals and soundesign back then :)

  1. In the AI department, Dark Planet is consistently inconsistent.
  2. Could be a solid RTS if not for the lack of story and the cluttered and variant interface.

    Call it a "StarCraft" homage, call it a "Starcraft" clone, Dark Planet is still a good, entertaining RTS. [June 2002, p.90]
