Editorial Review: Manufacturer's Description: Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War Anthology is the ultimate collectors edition, featuring the original Dawn of War, its two expansion packs - Winter Assault and Dark Crusade - and more. Dawn of War: Ten thousand years have passed since the treasonous acts of Chaos toppled the Golden Age of mankind. Fires burn brightly throughout the galaxies, illuminating carnage and slaughter as mankind defends itself from ancient enemies. Hardened forces collide with one goal in mind, the complete extermination of their opposition. Control one of four unique races in head-to-head or cooperative multiplayer action, where faith, skill, and strategy are requisites in ruling the universes. Winter Assault: The expansion pack to the award winning Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War will build upon the most exciting, visceral, front-line battlefield ever seen in an RTS game. Lost amongst the ruins of a leveled city lies an Emperor Class Titan, a war vessel of untold power forged in the planet-wide furnaces of Mars, and revered by billions as the epitome of Imperial dominance. The one who controls it will command the power to destroy, or defend, a world. The Imperials will summon it to overcome great evil, Chaos will corrupt it for their own designs, Orks will destroy it in their bloodlust and Eldar will disregard it in their arrogance. Dark Crusade: Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade will feature two new playable races, the Tau Empire and the Necrons, bringing the number of totally unique races to an unprecedented seven. In addition to the two new playable races, Dark Crusade will feature an all-new single player campaign centering on the conquest of a "meta-map," with each territory captured giving tangible rewards to the occupying force. A greatly expanded multiplayer component and a completely unique economy model for the Necrons will present gamers with the most compelling Dawn of War game to-date. Customer Reviews

 Rating: - At last a great RTS.Having been a fan of RTS for a long time I always had the same frustrations of either campaigns that were too easy or gameplay that followed the same play format over and over again, you know defence, build up your forces then go for the kill but not getting challenged that much. All that changed however when I started playing dark Crusade. I didn't think it would be possible to improve on the original format but they've managed it with spades! This game is a real challenge in campaign mode, you really have to think about what your doing and it will beat you when you make mistakes or get complacent! The graphics are great and the Necrons have a real matrix feal about them which I really like. Overall this is a great game, if you like ... Read More: Rating:  - Starts superbly...This is a really great value package. There's a phenomenal amount of playing time to complete the original "Dawn of War" and then the 2 expansions. The graphics and overall presentation are also pretty awesome and the game runs well on a fairly moderate system. I must confess that I did not particularly enjoy the dynamic campaign of "Dark Crusade", but then I am not really a fan of skirmish type missions in RTS games. "Winter Assault" felt a bit disjointed when swapping between the different races, however "Dawn of War" itself is the best RTS that I have played for a number of years. Unit control is smooth and precise and it feels well-balanced. My biggest problem with this package is the way that the Space Marine race is "gimped" ...

Perfect for those that like starcraft warcraft command and conquer ect Rating: - VISTA PROBLEMS - PLEASE READYou may have problems installing this with Vista. When you go to install the software you get a message along the lines of "Installation ended prematurely". To fix this you need to: The fix: Start > Run > 'cmd' When command prompt appears type in the following (without the hyphens). 'msiexec.exe /qb /i ie. msiexec /qb /i e:\DawnOfWar.msi TARGETDIR="D:\Program Files\THQ\DawnOfWar" Once installation has asked for all 3 disks you will be required to manually edit the registry entry that relates to the cdkey as it was not asked for during installation. To do this click Start > Run > regedit The key ... Read More: Rating: - BrilliantAs an RTS, this game stands tall. The races are truly different to one another. Rather than being the same kinda thing, albeit in a different colour, or just having an extra tank or two. They're different to the core. Each has their own troop types, own buildings, and way of playing. Simply building up then "zerging" the enemy is rarely the way to go here, there's true tactical advantage to taking and holding territory early on. Distracting the enemy with a feint assault to draw troops away from a ture objective can pay dividends too. And its important to use the right unit for the right task, some are specialised in taking down troops, tanks, or buildings. To fans of GW's 40K, this game stands tall in this aspect too. ...
