Good Game, tweaking

Well, definately worth the money. The only problem I've had is the game has a known issue with ATI graphics cards (which took an hour or something to see what was wrong with it and about 5 min to fix). The text was only half there, like it was cut off from the top. The graphics were psycadelic and actually kinda cool, but annoying after the first couple minutes.

I was able to get the game to work fine after some tweaking, but it was a pain to figure out what was wrong with it. There's plenty of online guides on how to adjust your settings because apparently lots of people have had this problem as well. Overall good game, lots of fun. Definately worth the buy, but if you have an ATI card there might be some issues before you can fully enjoy the game.

Warcraft, but different

I am a long time fan of the WH40k world, and the game faithfully re-creates the art and atmosphere of the original tabletop game. The game play itself is almost exactly like warcraft, with a few twists and turns that make it better. Probably the best improvement is that you can click on any squad member, and the entire squad will be selected, making it much easier to move large numbers of units around at a time.

I haven't tried the online mode, but that's because I am a high school graduate (and then some) and am assuming that some enterprising 13 year old will trounce me in under 30 seconds. I didn't find the game compelling enough to invest the effort to get good at it. The single player missions are easy enough that you can get through them even if you aren't that great at the game. Which is a good thing if you're like me and you're just looking to have some fun.

Half a game, not bad.

The single user game is way too short, I have not seen a large number of game editsd out there to create original fan content, the online community is a little anemic, and the online multiplayer tends to have 'issues'.

All that being said the game is fun and inventive, the interface is instantly familiar and intuative. the graphics are really nice. Gameplay is fun, but too short.

DEFINETLY add this to your collect, but buy it at a discount. =-)

Cutting edge ideas! Being able to color your armies and add your own decals! WHY HASN'T ANYONE THOUGHT OF THIS YET!?! So simple yet SOOO much more satisfying when you see your Terminator squad march over the bodies of te Orks, Eldar, and Chaos Marines.

Before I say anything else, I DEFINETLY recommend this game because of it's cutting edge ideas and creativity. That being said, here are some pluses and minuses.

Posatives: Online play, Army Painter, good graphics, cool sounds, cutting edge new creative ideas

Negatives: BIG NEGATIVE Only one Campaign (Space Marine): no Ork, Eldar, or Chaos Marine campaigns, Lack of ability to customize Space Marines in single player campaigns, lack of replayability other than online, sluggish story-line: you see what's going to happen in the beginning and it takes the whole game to get there, with almost no twists or turns, if this game is rated 'M' why didn't they write a storyline that reflects our intelligence. Story-line feels like it's written for a Space Marine whose worked Ordinance for too long. (Ordinance=Explosives lol)

All that being said, I WOULD STILL DEFINETLY recommend this game to ANYONE who likes action/strategy/rts/ect. Because they have some VERY cutting edge CREATIVE ideas in here that you WILL NOT see anywhere else

Dawn of War

Having played the tabletop strategy game that this is based on, I find that dawn of war is a great pc game. I would recommend buying this game for anyone who finds a interest in science -fiction futuristic setting or futurisric gameplay. There are multiple Races you can play as, such as the fast and agile eldar, whose arrogance is only matched by there firepower, or the space marines, chosen of the immortal emperor to know no fear and fight for the purity and sanctity of the imperium, or the xenos scum known as the orcs, who rely on the driving spirit of th waghhh!!! to propel themselves into space and plague the holy worlds of the emperor. dawn of war is a great game and if you want to know any back round on the game jusy go to http://us.games-workshop.com/games/40K/spacemarines/default.htm
just copy and pate this.

Great RTS with LOTS of action.

True to the Warhammer 40K universe, this game puts you right in the middle of a war on the planet Tartarus for the souls of every man and woman on the planet. The forces of Chaos have hatched a diabolical scheme to free a foul daemon from its prison and cast its evil shadow on the universe. The Space Marins, Blood Ravens unit, must battle to stop them. Fight a WAAGHG! army of Orks as well as the crafty Eldar as you unfold the great story of those oh to short RTS. A must play.

Second best RTS game ever (Starcraft)

Starcraft was ground breaking when it came out.

This is the latest ground breaking RTS game.

Get the version with the expansion "Winter Assult" included. They made some pretty good updates with that expansion.

One of the best Strategy Game Ever
