great RTS July 16, 2007
I haven't had anywhere near as much fun with any other RTS since Starcraft came out with Broodwars. Although I'm not going to lie and say that this will be just as good, but it's one of the best since to include Warcraft 3 in my opinion.
 One of the best expansions for any game May 23, 2007

This expansion took Dawn of War from an already successful game to one of the best. If you haven't heard of Warhammer before, you are missing out. The story behind Warhammer is intense and exciting. This game takes that incredible ficional world and translates it into an extremely fun to play environment. The single-player campaign is a huge upgrade from the 2 previous games. Instead of a linear story driven experience, you are behind the wheel. You get to choose your battles in a "Risk" (the boardgame) type of style. Your goal is to wipe the other 6 races off of the map completely.
Please note that you can play this game without either of the previous games. The only problem is that you wont have access to the other 5 races in multiplayer. I highly recommend anyone who enjoys Dark Crusade to get the DoW: Gold Edition. There is a lot of fun to be had.
 Balance me, please April 3, 2007

As the title suggest, this game suffers from hardcore balance issues. Not necessarily between the races, but between the difficulties.
On "easy" the game really poses no challenge whatsoever. A squad of player controlled basic infantry really have no trouble with a squad of computer controlled advanced infantry.
On "normal" by the second map it is a struggle even to begin, within a few minutes an overwhealming enemy force shows up, and if you survive the first wave you've got about 1 minute until the enemy force is completely rebuilt and attacking again. The advanced infantry you build is likely to get chewed by the computer's basic units. The computer was cranking out "hero" units in less time than it took me make infantry.
I've not tried "hard" yet, as I'm afraid my computer may punch me in the crotch.
Additionally, once you've secured one area you're bound to defend it again, and again, and again, and again.
The concept behind this game is really great, the gameplay is fun and the graphics amazing. There are just a few things which really erk me and make the game seem half-rate. This was a highly anticipated game, and these faults make me wonder if the release date wasn't nudged a bit.
The original Dawn of War was great - I think I'll go back to that.
Great game, not for amateurs February 23, 2007

My son gave me this game for Christmas and unlike the prior version, I cannot come close to surviving even a few minutes at any level above easy. I've gone back to my Dawn of War that I can sometimes beat. I recommend this only for VERY experienced players or people willing to devote a great deal of time into figuring out how to stay alive more than 5 minutes.
