After numerous flops in the VG industry, GW has finally found Relic to bring the 41st millennium to life.

-Pros-
*Awesome Melee Combat
*Nice Detail on Models
*Captures visceral nature of 40K
*Well Balanced Units (Apply patches)
* Array of different Armies to Master
*Quick Packed Multiplayer
*Geared to run on old machines
*Excellent audio and superb voice acting

-Cons-
*The idea of Terrain isn't flushed out enough
*Maps can feel claustrophobic
*Campaign Missions can feel repetitive
*Some units act stupidly (They take the long route instead of short route)
*Base Building

The Dawn of War franchise is fantastic. Im a Tabletop player so this game was a dream come true. Its an excellent RTS that will have me playing until the day I die.

The Sob and DE are wicked armies. Well see how the 1.1 patch re-balances the game.

Hardware/Software- Runs fairly easily. Taking Shadows off can help smooth things out, but they add alot of detail to the game.
