Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War reviewed  by Craig D at 01:22

PC
Gamespot has a review of THQ's recently released RTS game based around the Games Workshop board game. They seem suitably impressed.

The game's especially quick to get into if you've recently played Blizzard's Warcraft III--the apparent inspiration for Dawn of War's interface design. In fact, the overall look and feel of Dawn of War--and its brutal, relatively small-scale skirmishes--is actually quite reminiscent of Blizzard's latest RTS game, as is the fast pacing and the average 20- to 30-minute length of a battle. This is at least a little ironic, since Blizzard's own strategy games have evidently drawn from Warhammer 40,000 and its fantasy counterpart, Warhammer, for creative inspiration.


If your'e in the U.K. you can buy it from Amazon for the paltry sum of 18.99, excellent value for what looks like a great game.
