At first something about this game put me off it. Honestly I think it's because I didn't like the fact that the whole game was to be played in snowy tundra. I made the decision to buy it after playing the Dark Crusade demo 6 or 7 times and needed something to distract my attention until its release date. After playing this game almost all the way through I have to say my initial feelings were unfounded. The Imperials add a vehicle heavy race missing from the original races with nice detailed touches such as the trooper executing commissar and the liquid flame throwing hellhound tanks. The single player campaign is fantastic. The original Dawn of War single player campaign only focused on the Space Marine Blood Raven chapter ignoring any use of the other races. This campaign lets you use all of the other races separating them between order (Imperial Guard and Eldar) and disorder (Chaos Space Marines and Orks). It's just a fantastic all round package!
