With the disappointing release of Warcraft 3. I have soon finally found something that leans towards the action more then turning RTS's into RPG's. I'm looking for strategic points in a game that make it unique. Such as Starcraft did, with the diversity in its races which being probly one of the #1 reasons that game is still one of the most popular RTS's ever made. To get straight to the point I'd much rather play Warhammer 40,000 over Warcraft any day. Why you ask? Action... Action... Action... Entertainment... Entertainment... Entertainment... Strategy... Strategy... Strategy... Anyone can pull a stupid Warcraft 3 game out of there butts, but can they truly master a table top game? Yes, they've made the game unique and very cunning in its appearance. Its time to step up to the next level and play Warhammer 40,000. My key points to maybe giving this game such a high rating is it has great sound which really adds to the game play. Such as cocky orcs which tell you to shove it! The graphics are stunning for an RTS, but yet not cartoon like. Its Game play is very flexible and has many options for dealing with the same threat. You don't always need to attack the same thing the same way every time you lose. In other words, a good example in Stacraft was when the only way to break thru some defenses if you weren't a hardcore player was to spam the other side with masses of forces. This is not entirely true in Warhammer you could very easily avoid some defense structures and give your opponent a much needed headache. It is about who has the most resources and who has the bigger army. But those things are acheived fast within the game. So it comes down to micro management and strategy. In other words the game is about fun, action and strategy. If you don’t like those factors mixed together, then you shouldn’t even be playing a RTS.
