I had to pay 40 dollars for this?

The lamenting will never stop, oh why didn't Relic make this game. And don't give me, "Well, it's got Relic's name on it!" Yeah, it looks like that's all the work they put into it. The graphics are subpar and after the great graphics of Dark Crusade, that means only one thing....IRON LORE!

Look, if you like Dawn of War for what it really is, a Warhammer 40k RTS. Then don't get Soulstrom. Iron Lore destroyed the story line...in fact, that game has no story line. (Why do we have to conquer this funny named star system?) It has the worst voice acting of any Dawn of War game. (The Sisters of Battle and the Narrator are the voices saving grace)

Iron Lore didn't even try to do anything new. They didn't try to balance any of the old factions and really didn't balance any of the new races. (Both the SoBs and the Dark Eldar are weak and not that much fun to play as) They even nerfed the Imperial Guard even more by weakening the Baneblade and keeping the horrible unit caps on the Stromtroopers and Leman Russes in place.

Look, I will not waste your time by saying much more but just keep in mind one more thing. Iron Lore shut down a couple months before this game even came out, if that doesn't show a lack of commitment, I don't know what does.

    When I first heard about the expansion pack, Soulstorm, I was elated. I've been a huge fan of the Dawn of War series, finding the strategy and the game play awesome. In some ways I prefer it to Command & Conquer, where s... Read Full Review
