This game has its excellent and terrible points, but by and large it’s not that impressive.
When I first tried to play it, my computer really froze up during the opening movie. It took nearly an hour of constantly rebooting my computer to make it play, but the graphics of the movie were pretty darn excellent. I soon learned to hit escape as soon as the first logo popped up on the screen, and also when the movie first started. Hopefully, I’ll save someone else a lot of the same frustration.
The graphics in the game were also very excellent, especially when you have 100 warriors blasting it out at close range. The sound effects were excellent, but I quickly became annoyed with the repetitious, fanatical comments from my soldiers. Frankly, in this age of holy war, having my soldiers constantly spout off about religion was slightly unsettling. And if this Emperor they kept yakking about was so splendid, why wasn’t he down there fighting with them?
OK, maybe I’m getting a small carried away there. But this game is VERY dark, and somewhat depressing, and I never really loved it that much. The game play didn’t seem to involve much approach. Build up an army, smash it against another army, rinse, lather, do again.
If you are a Warhammer 40K fanatic then you will like this game. Otherwise, any of the Command & Conquer sports meeting–especially Generals–would be a much better bet.

I was looking for a new game to dissipate time with when I came across this one on this site. Due to the rating most here give it, I thought it was a excellent bet I’d delight in it. This was partially right but…
Pros:
* It’s a excellent deal for a main game with one expansion pack included.
* The game’s interface and clean coding make it a excellent game when it comes to being bug-free and simple to install.
* In the most basic of senses…blowing crap up, shooting things, etc…it succeeds.
* It can and does occupy your time.
* The Imperial Guard, while by no means the strongest, were often the most entertaining in my opinion.
Cons:
* A lack of originality. Ok, there hasn’t really been an original take on an RTS (real time stategy) game since Starcraft. There are many fun sports meeting of this sort out there but the by and large game mechanics and point really haven’t changed. The only thing you can hope for in such contemporary sports meeting is a unique take on the usual that makes it entertaining despite it’s lack of game unoriginality. Some have succeeded admirably in this. This game has not. The campaigns are dull at best, pathetic at most. There is zero new make pleased beyond pretty skins and different names for the same stuff. They really didn’t strain themselves at all, which is highly disappointing, especially in the Warhammer series which is usually fun and irreverent. Their writers apparently took a vacation while the company was effective on this product.
* A major lack of campaigns. The main game only gives you the one. The Winter Assault expansion gives you two…sort of. Two in the sense that you can play the same campaign from the “excellent” guys standpoint or the “terrible guys” view. So other than the skirmish option, you only get two campaigns from a huge titled game and one expansion. Again, they didn’t bother to flex their creative muscles much.
* Graphics are a mixed bag. While you don’t really expect too much eye sweetie from a RTS, I’ve seen and played other Warhammer sports meeting and the by and large attempt here is a bit luke warm. Perhaps this was my vid card though.
* Many of what is taken for contracted these days when it comes to RTS functions…patrol functions for your troops and many other typical things are simply missing from this game.
So by and large…this game is luke warm. It provides and I gave it three stars because it IS enjoyable in parts, but for those looking for something of this type of game that really gets their blood flowing, I’d seek elsewhere. Still, the price is currently right. For those who bought these full priced when they just came out, my condolences.
