DH Review: Warhammer 40,000 DOW

Zardon · Oct 10, 2004, 02:01 PM

Matthew "MSX" Sapinsky has had a look at the new excellent RTS based on Games Workshop's Warhmammer.

"Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is a stunning new science fiction strategy game from THQ. It is, without a doubt the best digital offering of the series to date. Former incarnations were lukewarm, at best, where everything about DoW has first-class written all over it.
There are a few hardcore WH players out there that may not feel this game is as true to the original as it could be. Games have never lived up to their original board/pen and paper counterparts, but this game does put its best foot forward, for sure. My prior experience with the tabletop actually made the game a bit more enjoyable. But don’t be expecting the same versatility. "
