The Dawn of War is just that....
I've been playing 40k since the tabletop game came out, and this PC game does it a lot of justice. Although this is the first version of the game, it still gives you a complete feel for what Warhammer 40k is all about.
The only thing I didn't like was that although the units are all squad based, you can't really position them like you would want and are able to in the tabletop version of the game.
All in all though, the game is incredible. The opening scene alone is something that could easily be a movie on its own.
I had no problems installing the game, it didn't like my video card at first but using the wizard helped fix that and in no time I was playing it and blasting the enemies of the Imperium to bits.
For a game that's been out for about 5 years now, it's right on par with StarCraft and many of the other games of this class. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to find a cheap game that will keep you occupied for hours on end.
