there was one sound option that worked for me...
and even then the music was of a much lower quality than it should be.
To be honest I didn't enjoy the game all that much.
And it doesn't follow the book at all :blink:
In the book Arrakeen is captured by the Harkonnen and Paul is forced to flee with his mother... then he unites the tribes.
And the fertilization of the planet only happens in 'Children of Dune'... which happens a hundred, if not a thousand, years after Paul Atreides's death
Don't get me wrong, its a good game... but it isn't the book. The book was rather dull at times, but when you finish reading it and you reflect on the major events in the book you do feel drawn to some characters... or the exact opposite.
That is the charm of Dune. While some readers will praise Paul as a saviour of the universe, others will call him a dictator, a dictator more cruel than Baron Vladimir Harkonnen or Emperor Shaddam IV.
Dune Messiah really engages this evil side of the 'hero' of dune.
At one point he even compares himself to Hitler, or says some things which sound an awefull lot like something Hitler would say.
