I've never played Dawn of War before but because i was very impressed with RELIC's Company of Heroes, i'm giving this game a chance. This game played faster than Company of Heroes and you also have to micro-manage your soldiers more. What i like about this game is the brutal fights and cool looking effects. There are 7 ( !!! ) factions to choose from but it's quite dissapointing that each faction is not that much different from each oher except the graphical department. This game, like Company of Heroes is NOT a base building RTS, and a truly action/battle oriented RTS. Very fun and interesting but Company of Heroes is WAY BETTER.
