Product Description
Dawn of War:
Ten thousand years have passed since the treasonous acts of Chaos toppled the Golden Age of mankind. Fires burn brightly throughout the galaxies, illuminating carnage and slaughter as mankind defends itself from ancient enemies. Hardened forces collide with one goal in mind, the complete extermination of their opposition. Control one of four unique races in head-to-head or cooperative multiplayer action, where faith, skill, and strategy are requisites in ruling the universes.
Winter Assault:
The expansion pack to the award winning Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War will build upon the most exciting, visceral, front-line battlefield ever seen in an RTS game. Lost amongst the ruins of a leveled city lies an Emperor Class Titan, a war vessel of untold power forged in the planet-wide furnaces of Mars, and revered by billions as the epitome of Imperial dominance. 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.
Dark Crusade:
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade will feature two new playable races, the Tau Empire and the Necrons, bringing the number of totally unique races to an unprecedented seven. In addition to the two new playable races, Dark Crusade will feature an all-new single player campaign centering on the conquest of a "meta-map," with each territory captured giving tangible rewards to the occupying force. A greatly expanded multiplayer component and a completely unique economy model for the Necrons will present gamers with the most compelling Dawn of War game to-date.

 Anthology - Bargain! April 21, 2010
Mr. Simon D. Peaty
What a Bargain this was, hours and hours of fun playing with the "little men" of my childhood! No bloody painting, learning the rules and hours of making crappy looking scenery, plus they actually shoot each other. Fantasy fulfilled!
 Great strategy stuff February 3, 2010

I really like this one. It pretty faithfully reproduces the Warhammer 40K universe. I regret, though, that this is a RTS and not turn based - this makes the game much more hectic when comparing it to the board game.
I'm running this on a MacBook Air, using Parallels 5, and it runs very well.
Great games - worth a tenner! November 28, 2009
Brendan (Brighton, UK)
I bought this game looking for a decent RTS, something along the lines of the - simply fantastic - Total Annhilation. What I got was in many respects better, at least as far as tactics and strategy are concerned.
The game is well designed, the units thoroughly enjoyable to deploy in battle, and the concept of squad limitation and other stategic rules both original and insightful. The first two levels on the single player of the original DAW are a little boring - though I should add that I'm of the school that tends to ignore cut-scenes and just get on with the fighting - but after that it just gets better and better.
If I were pressed to name a flaw, I suppose you could highlight the somewhat cliched characterisation. At times the storyline can seem a little too preposterous - what sci-fi set 40,000 years in the future wouldn't? - but the games more than make up for this with brilliant combat playability, genuinely effective units (see the Hellfire for a case in point, as well as the ability to 'deep strike' units directly into battles!), and an in-depth, well thought out world.
In short, if you like RTS games and are partial to mech-fights, I'd buy this game as quickly as you could say 'war'!
 Not bad, and very fun. For a while. April 17, 2009

This was an action heavy (not much base-building/defense) RTS and was a lot of fun for awhile.
However, after the final expansion (Soul Storm) came out, support for this compilation (i.e. Dawn of War games up to an including Dark Crusade) dropped off.
Much fun to be had multipler or even the odd skirmish. Not very good single-player design. Not much longevity.
Not bad price now, since it is no longer the latest Dawn of War "pack".
At last a great RTS. May 20, 2008
JBJ (UK)
Having been a fan of RTS for a long time I always had the same frustrations of either campaigns that were too easy or gameplay that followed the same play format over and over again, you know defence, build up your forces then go for the kill but not getting challenged that much. All that changed however when I started playing dark Crusade. I didn't think it would be possible to improve on the original format but they've managed it with spades! This game is a real challenge in campaign mode, you really have to think about what your doing and it will beat you when you make mistakes or get complacent! The graphics are great and the Necrons have a real matrix feal about them which I really like.
Overall this is a great game, if you like Warhammer and you like a game that can challenge you this is the game for you, definately recommend getting the original Dawn of War and Winter assault just to get the full experience.
