- Features: The original Warhammer 40,000 - Dawn of War revolutionized gaming with its combination of shooter action, real-time strategy and unique setting. You'll command a team of hardened troops, with deadly war vehicles and high-tech weapons, on a single objective -- total extermination of the opposition. It's been 10,000 years since the human race expanded into the stars, and the galaxy burns with the fires of war. After a peaceful golden age, chaos and treachery brought down the human empires. Manki, In Dawn Of War - Winter Assault you'll explore the ruins of an Emperor Class Titan, a war vessel of untold power forged in the planet-wide furnaces of Mars. 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. What will YOU do? Winter Assault features two campaigns with more animation, Dawn Of War - Dark Crusade takes you to the desrts of Kronus, where a a vast honeycomb of skull-lined tunnels houses the Necron plague. Ill-fated excavations awoke the deathless again, igniting a new war. Play three new races -- the Necron, the Tau&the Imperial Guard. New units like the Space Marine Chaplain and the Khorne Berzerker wait as a unique, non-linear story unfolds from your race's perspective. Customize and manage a persistent army as you sweep across the planet, as you discover

Customer Reviews
Great game for fans of Warhammer 40K
First, I have to say that I am a long time Warhammer 40K fan. I have played the table top game and collect the army pieces. So, when I found out this was coming out I got excited.
I was not disappointed. The missions are fun and can be challenging. Sometimes I would fly through a mission, other times I would have to play over an hour to finish one. Several times I lost a mission and had to start over. I have not tried the online multiplayer yet.
My only complaint is the maps are not interactive. Meaning you can't blow up buildings, bridges, or anything else that has not been built by your opponent.
Besides that, it's a great game to play. To top it off, it's not expensive at $30. Really worth it.

Best RTS I've Played
Excellent game pack and you can't beat the price. The DVD includes all three games which gives you tons and tons of maps and races to play.

Short Games but as a Collection, Decent.
This is a pretty simplistic game by the standards of a StarCraft or WarCraft, or Supreme Commander, but that doesn't make it bad. It's quite a fun game. In an era of huge video card requirements and maps that are so big you'll lose track of your units, I appreciated the approach.
The only cons I can give it are weak AI and the lame practice of only putting 1 race campaign in the first one and leaving all the others to skirmish. Come on, that's just lazy. They made a bit more effort in the single player on the expansion, but still really short change you on single player levels. I haven't tried the 3rd game yet, but assuming it's not like 5 levels long, when taken as a package for the price, this package seems it's a pretty decent, though not terribly long, game.

DOW:Plat Pack
Def a great gaming series, although i'm kinda pissed that DoW 2 hasn't yet been released, but hey who can complain the three of these games are absolutely phenominal. Combining some of the best storyline, and RTS to make one hell of a game.

Great buy and great games
This is about the best RTS on the market. It plays well, has great graphics, excellent support and a large active fan base. These people are adding maps, modifications and anything else you can think of. This makes a very good game even better.
The number of races will keep you replaying this game as each has very different abilities and drawbacks. The AI is very good and at harder levels is a killer. Relaxing will get you a quick loss. The campaigns will keep you playing for hours. You men are not helpless fools but active fighters. You can put them some place and expect them to defend w/o you keeping an eye on them. A nice change from some games where your men are sheep to be killed if you do not watch them.
This is the only RTS that I have found that keeps me playing.
