Personally, I couldn't help but compared it to the 1984 version, which, despite being more or less the same scene, ends *entirely* differently, and was a departure from the themes of the book from what I know. I'm not sure how close Dune 2's ending was to the novel, but yeah, it was a little odd. I thought it ended fairly satisfyingly myself, though one friend who was totally unfamiliar with Dune felt like it ended kind of abruptly, more or less guaranteeing a Dune 3.
