    "Best current futuristic strategy game!"
    This has to be one of the better futuristic strategy games.
    The single player is a bit short, but you don't want to buy the game for that, you buy the game for the multiplayer its INTENSE!!
    I seriously recommend this and the dark crusade expansion if you want to feel the true multiplayer experience of Dawn of War.
    Only thing that might better then this would be SC2...

    "Visceral"
    Dawn of War is a brilliant series and with this new low price and even better reason to buy now! It has all the things a strategy game needs and more!
    - Amazing graphics
    - Damn cool and varying factions
    - A emphasize on pushing forward and keeping the pressure on
    - Really awesome 'special effects' like building buildings
    - Visceral combat which is bloody and brutal
    - A nice single player experience to ease you in followed by an intense multiplayer assault
    - A cool new take on upgrades and troop management where you can buy upgrades for a certain squad (make normal troops specialized rocket troopers or chaingunners) and when squad members die you can replace them with new ones, etc

    Overall a great game that will keep you entertained for hours on end.

    Review by Andrew on 2nd October, 2004
    "Fun & solid game, lacks depth."
    Visceral visual experience, with a satisfactory, though not particularly challenging or imaginative singleplayer experience.

    Multiplayer will depend on your focus - if you like the "grind" aspect of the game (if you and your opponent are competent then you can expect to quickly hold the map 50/50 and have to then wear each other down slowly) you will find it fun. One benefit of this is that there will be plenty of time to enjoy the visuals.

    The balance between the races needs a little bit of work, but that may come in time with patches. The GameSpy system of online matchmaking isn't my favourite, but at least it has some form of automatic game-matching.

    My gaming has been relatively bug-free, except for one crash on the last mission of the game (only happened once and did not reoccur).

    Overall a good game, but it depends on what you are looking for. If there was a 3.5 stars option I would have gone for that.

    "Wow"
    It's The best PC game ever, Imagine getting the main guy off Halo and putting him in a cloner and telling the clones to kill each other whilst making as many big explosions as possible. Great game I would reccomend it to all PC users.
