Dawn of boredom.
Now don't get me wrong, I like a good Rts and this game, while not a bad game on its own, does deliver some of that feel. Though I guess my biggest complaint about this game is that it has no strategy involved. Its like... Read Full Review

This game shows what Sci-fi RTS should be done.
The game has some different features from other strategy games. The combat system is different from other RTS games. The units are formed by squads instead of the regular one by one troops which can give a major advantag... Read Full Review

Focuses on how use your troops effectively rather than building the biggest army. Great for even the casual RTS player.
I'm not a big RTS player, and have been playing FPS and RPG's alot more often. I decided to try this game cause of reviews which said it was great for the casual RTS player. They were absolutely right. I just finis... Read Full Review

Dawn of War has a good Combat system but the resource system makes it too easy to turtle
Dawn of war was a good idea however it just lacks the regular game play that makes a RTS good. Although the Dawn of war resource system was made to promote combat over basing, the system also makes the game too prone to ... Read Full Review

finally! a strategy game that DOESN'T SUCK!!!!!!
To be honest, I never did care much for strategy games. Some would be boring, (Mechcommanders 2), others would be WAY to hard (MIcro commanders). "Star trek armada" was just a mix of both! But then i played THIS strategy... Read Full Review

Dark Crusade is an amazing game that goes above and beyond your typical "expansion," but it has one big flaw.
Dawn of War was a great game. For its time, the graphics were unheard of in an RTS, it was violent, brutal, dark, and even at times funny (The orks = hilarity.) It's 4 races were all unique and it had a great depth. D... Read Full Review

The perfect example of an expansion.
The original Dawn of War is to-date my favorite RTS game. Actually, it's probably closer to a Real-Time Tactical Game, as there are only two resources to gather: land and power. With that micromanagement out of the way... Read Full Review

If you ever tried to like rts's but was to much crap bogging down the fun. This is for u and also the best.
I always wanted to really like rts games. Starcraft was the first one that I can remember ever really enjoying but still I felt I had to force myself to get back in there and play. Mainly because it just so time consumin... Read Full Review

Transforms the table-top game into a brilliant video game!
From the moment the intro cinematic began, I was hooked into Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. It sets the violent and bloody mood and begins a cavalcade of strategy and violence that kept me hooked to the computer for hour... Read Full Review

An excellent RTS that sets a new standard for the genre
When news first broke about the release of Dawn of War, I had never heard of Warhammer 40,000. For a while I didn't really pay much attention to the game at all until about 2 years after its launch, at this point Winter... Read Full Review
