Overall, very good, but lacking a few essentials. Still, one of the best expansions I've ever found.

Overall, I found this a superb addition to the DoW series. There were however some minor faults such as large holes in the Imperial Guard lineup that anyone who plays tabletop will notice. Still, aside from my moaning, very smooth gameplay, lovely graphics and, as ever, amazing sound quality. The animations are class and much better than in the original, cutscenes included. Watching some of the minute details and the finishing moves was more fun than playing the game. Anyone used to the normal ai from DoW may be a little surprised at the way normal has been made much more aggressive here but no big problems. One main problem was the reliance on scripted events. the cutscene-movies continually told me that "thousands had been killed" while storming some chaos-held fortress when in actuality, only 2 of my brave guardsmen had fallen. Despite that, an excellent sequel, and the Guard really bring some variety to the armies and the method of fighting. After all, watching hordes of orks being blown to millions of small pieces by your entrenched basilisks half a map away is just pure bloodletting pleasure
