A sevear disapointment
First of all the controls and use of the duel screen's is cumbersom and difficult to use. The fact that you can't rotate the camera add's to the users frustration.
Compared to Dawn of war the Gameplay is more true to the Board game, that doesn't mean it's good. the gameplay is slow and uniteresting and makes you feel like turning the game off quickly. Squad commander also has none of the replay value that made Dawn of War so much fun.
On the plus side the game has good Graphics and has some very good atwork to coverup the complete lack of cutscenes.
The sound is simple to describe becasue there isn't any. There is no music in this game so all you get is the same two or three phrases repeated again and again with the ocasunal weapons sound effect.
The game does have some nice features like how close it is to the actual warhammer game, the secondry weapons system yet these are all overshadowed by the games glareing omisions and bad side.
The Games Workshop have shown they can do much better which add's to the gamers dissapointment.
