they reviewed it the bashed it for an at time confusing nature of choosing the path of chaos and a still cluttered inventory sidebar at the squad loadout menu but otherwise this is still an astounding game and multiplayer is a BLAST with the new commanders and maps and such. the singleplayer is also more satisfying than the origional though its still the same game as dow2 is gameplay wise (four squads gear collecting and leveling no base building.

the short: if you own DoW2 and even if you remotely like ti grab chaos rising with all speed. if you dont own it its definetely worth putting the 30 bucks down into. if you want an rts experience singleplayer wise your still not getting quite what you asked for though its better than it was.

I can certainly relate to bashing for an at time confusing nature.

A review doesn't help much, it being unlocked sooner now that's another thing :P.

Well, it can be the difference between buying it new and buying it bargain bucket. I wish the review for SupCom 2 could have warned me how dreary that game is, though:cry: .

Relic can't muck up a game...can they?

lol. really? So you want to skip games like Deus Ex and buy disappointing games like gta iv? Skip games like stalker and get something like dead space instead? "professional" reviews are completely worthless, most times they dont even tell anything about the way the game actually plays, especially on pc.

It's a big leap from "I'll wait for a respectable review before making my decision whether I purchase it or not" to "I never buy any of my games unless they get super-high scores from professional reviewers." I mainly am waiting on good reviews of this so I can tell if it's actually improves on DoW2, Relic burned me once with the lack of content in DoW2, I'm hoping the expansion isn't the same.

i feel a review wouldn't tell you what you want to know... opinions on these forums or user reviews might though.

I also heard about another magazine that has reviewed it already, PC Gamer i think, and they also gave it 91% but they gave the original 82%, so if you liked the original this should be a substantial improvement.

If Dead Space was disappointing then what was the basis of you purchasing it, or didn't you purchase it?
