I've been playing 40k now for over 2 years. I was really excited/horrified/terrified when I found out that Games Workshop had finally alllowed a company to make a game from the 40k franchise. I wasn't expecting much. Certainly nothing as great as Chaos Gate, which was basically X-Com with Space Marines, or Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels, which was actually a pretty decent game (once you realized it was about commanding a squad, not about first person action). And I didn't get much. There's some amazing moments in the game, if you play 40k. Only 40k players are going to go 'NEAT!' when the walk up next to a Land Raider, other folks will mostly likely wonder why there's a big box with guns in the middle of a map with no enemies. The bottom line is that the game ONLY will appeal to Warhammer 40k table-top fans. And probably no one else. Which is ultimately rather sad, since this game could have become a gateway drug to table-top wargaming for some folks. Should anyone from Games Workshop or Kuju ever read this: We 40k players greatly appreciate your effort in trying to bring us this game. But if you want the game to be a success with video gamers, you have to make a quality product. I bought this game because I play 40k, and hope that my purchase might help to convince Games Workshop and Kuju to give it another shot and allow another game to be made. Microsoft Train Simulator got good reviews, so we know that Kuju knows how to make good games. Kuju needs to learn to translate the skills that made MS Train Simulator great, into making a equally great Warhammer 40,000 game.
