Warhammer 40.000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm (Gamer's Choice) previews

The main down side I found with this game was they changed the game engine. If they had kepted to the same gaming rules as DC would be far better. But if you have the rest I really recommend getting it.

An excellent game. The new races are an excellent addition along with the aerial units which have been a long time in the coming. A few tweaks to the tech trees of existing races and units has completely changed the game play. New Races and noticeable game elements.
Dark Eldar: The shadowy and twisted form of the regular eldar, they have avaible some of the fastest and most powerful vehicles in the game.
Sisters of Battle: The Angels of Vengeance serving the Adeptus Sororitas, the Sisters of Battle are a new race of the Imperium, focused solely on cleansing the universe with holy fire. The Sisters have access to one of the most unstoppable units in the Warhammer universe: The Living Saint.

Whether for standalone play, or adding it to the collection of the first three games, and following Dark Crusades Turn Based/RTS style of gameplay, Soulstorm is an excellent play

This science fiction strategy game has all 8 races of Dawn of war.It is a great war game with gigantic army's waging war against their enemy's with huge battle carnage over desolate terrain.This is game to be bought.

A good expansion for a great game. Adds more races and abilities to the Dawn of war game. Having said that, this isnt the step forward that Dark crusade was and only really adds marginal improvements and content. Worthwhile for the extra stuff as was Winter assault but not what i would consider the final polish to a great series.

While very similar to its predecessor it is still a good game in it's own right. I've only played Sisters of Battle so far, and have found that I needed to change my gameplay a bit to succeed. Once you've found a technique that works however it's a good fun strategy game and I'm glad I spent the money on it. The graphics are pretty good, but not TOL. It is a little hungry on resources though, our system copes, but not as well as it did with the previous DoW games. Definitely reboot after playing before doing anything else.

Ok, S.O.B are really well done but they are over powered, better than SM?! and The Living Saint is way above the other tier 5 units, Dark Eldar work really well, no turrets again.

New Units, well lets just say they are not awesome, the flyers are weak as paper, do moderate damage, cost about what they should and some cannot pathfind, for example the SOB lightening fighter cannot traverse terrain, you need to guide it step by step to your target, and they hover to fire like a skimmer, not do strafing runs.

Overall looks good, plays well and is very unbalanced, dark crusade was the same so not much lost, new campaign is laggy and hard to see what army owns what section of the planets, all planets appear on same map at same time in scale… so no zoom.
