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

Fix for Defective game being shipped by Amazon
Amazon is *still* shipping defective copies of this game (I got it for Xmas and was attempting to install it today).

However, a quick google found a solution to the problem if you buy this game from Amazon and receive the misprinted installation key which will prevent you from even installing it:

Enter the first two sets of numbers from the key on the manual, then '0000' in the third input field, then the next two sets of numbers from your key.

Worked like a charm.

Great game
Great game and a tremendous value too. Definite 5 stars.

All the people who are rating this game poorly due to the key issue need to read this:

Enter the first two sets of numbers from the key on the manual, then '0000' in the third input field, then the next two sets of numbers from your key.

I found this in under 5 minutes using a tool called "Google" and it has been posted in other reviews here. It is absolutely poor style to assign the game a bad rating because of an issue that can easily be rectified with a simple search. Is it a stupid mistake on the part of THQ? Absolutely. But it doesn't make it a suck game.

You want to buy this.
One of the best RTS' I've played in years, a great game for any Warhammer 40K fans, and if you aren't, this game will make you into one.
Dawn of War and Winter Assault have very nice story line and game play aspects, while Dark Crusade brings about some very nice overhauls to the tech trees to bring the game's whooping 7 races into multiplayer balance.
Enjoy.
