Missed opportunities. Thats how you could describe Soulstorm, yes they added two new races, yes new campaign, yes more maps but the greatness they passed by happy to wave at and hug mediocrity. The new races are fun Dark Eldar are wicked, SOB are mighty, but honestly neither blew me away and i won't be using them much besides an occasional random battle online. The campaign is my main beef. Oh it is infuriating, first they strip the story down even more from DC which was thin (Yet fun) but still entertaining. And ohhh the planet map now theres all these planets to attack, GAY. If you took every territory and laid it out you would end up with the same amount of levels as DC. Its sluggish in running, the graphics are starting to show there age, and i played the crap out of DC and past DOW and this made me mad. I wanted to get back in with their promises, well they gave what they said just not in the magnitude they implied. Real let down for me, if your a fan pick it up the new races are good enough to warrant a purchase i just expect more out of the company who gave us one of THE best RTS ever.
