Customer Review
A review kinda like I like to read...
The kind of review I like to read tends to be full of all sorts of info on new units and how they do in the game. I guess we will find out if anyone agrees.So far in my Dark Crusade career I have beaten the game with the new T'au race and the Space Marines. This is what I have learned.First the new style of campaign play. Many have equated it to the board game Risk not unreasonably. But it's both simpler and more complex. The "board" is the planet of Kronus blocked into about 15 "provinces," each with a unique property/special ability. However, unlike Risk, the only unit that moves is your commander. And although some provinces provide units you can buy to take in with the commander for each attack/defense, essentially each time you attack a province it is a skirmish game. You must destroy the other's command building to win.Pros: Because of this style, players can actually pick which race they want to fight against and how hard it is likely...

Dawn of War just got even better!
Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War Dark Crusade offers a chance for new players to jump into Dawn of War at the bargain price of $30 or less, as the original Dawn of War (DoW) is not required to play the Dark Crusade expansion. For existing DoW players, the new content should make the purchase of this latest expansion well worth the time and money.First, the new single-player campaigns are not just linear stories as in the original DoW or Winter Assault (WA). Instead, players get to play with the two new races, Tau and Necrons, and they get to run the campaign and conquer an alien world in a strategy game similar to Risk. Players will be able to play using any one of the game's seven races. Even better, the storyline will be different depending upon which race is played. For multi-player fans, players will be able to customize their commanders with special equipment, referred to as "wargear" in the tabletop version of Warhammer 40,000 (aka 40K). Skirmish mode will still be...

Ninjas on Fire
Bungie software famously said of Halo 2 that: "it's Halo 1 on fire going 120 miles per hour through a hospital zone chased by helicopters and ninjas. And the ninjas are all on fire too." As a sequel, Halo 2 couldn't quite live up to that extravagant claim, but DoW: Dark Crusade does.I played the original DoW to death, so my astonishment threshold was pretty high. Nevertheless, this game met and exceeded it. Relic has taken the original game and transplanted it into a totally new environment, but all of the new elements blend seamlessly. The new strategic mode is reminiscent of the board game Risk, and involves capturing territories on a world map.The best part of this is the fact that the armies and structures garrisoned on these territories persist (to a large extent, anyway) from battle to battle. This means that the first-mover advantage/inertia factor that made the first two games so interesting has been exported into the strategic mode. Advantages...
