Although not entirely true to canon, it pays homage to a lot of the elements (spice blooms, random findings in the desert [abandoned bases &c], politics &c).
Although the game takes a lot of visual cues from Lynch's Dune, there are some unique elements that, I think, fitted the books better than the images from the movie did (ie., ornithopters, Harkonen/Saudukar uniforms).
ALthough fairly basic compared to the newer RTS games, I really wish I could find a copy of the original Dune2 only recoded for modern platforms!
BTW, Dune2000 really wasn't that great; it would have been better if it was only a graphics-updated version of Dune 2.
