This is a good strategy game for all, but more for 40k fans.

First off I am biased in buying this game as I am a 40k player. That being said it is still appealing to me as a strategy player though. The DS version sacrifices a bit on graphics and movies for the use of 2 screens and a touch screen. The DS version has the overhead map fully visible at all times on the top screen so you can see where your units are. You can also use the touch screen instead of the buttons, but I don't like using the stylus much, so I don't It does make things easier if you forget the controls though.

The graphics aren't bad, but they aren't great. I would have used for more zooming, but once again just me. As for the sound well i don't do protable sound so no idea.

The main point for this is the download and play function for the game where you can play with 1 friend who doesn't have the cart or many who do via broadband. It is a good strategy game with some interesting ideas. Finally my one big problem is the introductory tutorial mission, just instal a mode or a pre mission, don't waste a level telling me how to play. It is also very intuitive though as my friend and i played with only a half baked control understnading. So it is fun, it just has some surface issues for me.

    This Warhammer game is not for those without strategy, or patience.

    While people crushed this game in reviews, heck, probably crushed it, backed up, and rolled over it again, Warhammer 40K squad command is really an underappreciated gem of a game. It offers up some of the best strategy p... Read Full Review
