Dawn of War is a magnificent strategy game, although its' two major downsides...

I will usually agree with gamespot's official reviews, but this time is an exception. This is, indeed, an amazing game, as gamespot says it is, but, I have to say that the dialog between missions can be most of the time very boring. The actual voice over is pretty good and the general idea of the plot is pretty fine too. The dialog just happens to be pretty long at times and you'd really want to skip it most times. The fact that the between-missions-sequences are shown with the same graphics the game has is a big downside. Not because the graphics are bad, but because it just looks bad (as the official review says). They shoul've made some sequences like the intro movie which is pretty amazing.
The second downside of the game is that there's only one campaign in the single player game, and you can only play as one faction (The space marines). Although you can choose any of the four factions in skirmish mode, I was pretty disappointed to find out you can't do that in the single player mode.
So, if you're just looking for some fun and action, this game will serve you well. If you enjoy a good plot that makes you feel like you're inside the game-world, playing a specific character, you'll find this game disappointing on that plane. Nevertheless, I would recommend this game to all fans of this game genre (just skip the scenes and you'll be fine)
