Review: Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War

Post by -_- »

For those who are familiar with Warhammer and love RTS games, this is the game for you! This game features four races (+1 more on winter assault expansion) to fight against each other in Skirmish games. (Both FFA and Teamplay) This game also has a great campaign storyline, good Multipayer (good support as well), and is moddable. A newer expansion coming this year/next year would add another 2 races to the game. (This game has a LOT of expansions, so I might've missed a few) This game overall, was a great experience for me. Relic did a great job porting this "Strategey board game" onto a PC game.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
Released: 2004-9-20

Gameplay: 8.5
Graphics: 9 * Would've been better if textures were less blurry*
Replayability: 10
Balance: 9 *Overall all races have unique advantages/disadvantages)
Stability: 10
Multiplayer: 5 * worst part of game is Multiplayer. If you stink at this game, you'll be instantly pwned.*

Overall: 8.6/10

This was released in 2004? I swear I've been seeing that game pop up a lot on GameSpot.

Off-topic : Alright, I obviously know I do not need to remind the Preliminary Steps having to be completed before creating a brand-new thread onto GameToast Forums towards someone who has never ceased endeavouring into respecting them and the local Rules as much frequently as possible for a significant time, but I would nevertheless want you to launch a Relevant Search referring to the Relic Entertainment® Product you have argued about so far onto this Message-Board, simply to figure out that another topic has already been generated and dealt with the exact same Subject. Incidentally, I would have wished you not to hesitate taking advantage out of this same Location - Which can be rather easily consulted through this web-address, by the way -, except whether you would not have that appreciated reviving it for tackling an Alternate Theme. On the other hand, I assume you must have already proceeded to this Checking Out, and in that case, I would become somewhat ashamed of this previous Suggestion, but I equally guess you won't mind too much the fact I may become Wary with regards to comparable threads...
