My review of WARHAMMER 40K - DAWN OF WAR.
RTS games have been copying each other for too long. You play one, you play another. They both seem far too
similar in my opinion. Then DAWN OF WAR brings a great new change, providing fast-paced RTS action i've never seen before. My squad of chaos warriors running across the battlefiled, firing at a bunch of bloodthirsty orcs at the same time. They take cover in a hole beside base-point, with a swarm of orcs beside it, growling around, waiting for me to pounce. I send a few more squads and move out into the open. A fierce battle begins.
My chaos warriors fire off blasts at the orcs, who send back thier own. After a lot more playing, victory was mine. And never once was I bored.
DAWN OF WAR is (In my opinion) the best RTS you can currently buy (Prehaps Med2 is good, but I haven't tried that yet, so this game remains my favorite). I love the fierce combat, the animations, the lovely graphics, the yells from the little fighters as they dash across the exploding battlefields. I also like the model-painter. You can design what your main troops look like, choose a mark for your flag, then colour it all. And then, you can save it as your own little personal team.
Overall, DAWN OF WAR should win any RTS fan and I rate it: 90%.
