THQ Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War: Winter Assault

Winter Assault is the expansion pack to the 2004's RTS Game of the Year, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. Lost amongst the ruins of a leveled city lies an Emperor Class Titan, a war vessel of untold power forged in the planet-wide furnaces of Mars, and revered by billions as the epitome of Imperial dominance. The one who controls it will command the power to destroy, or defend, a world. The Imperials will summon it to overcome great evil, Chaos will corrupt it for their own designs, Orks will destroy it in their bloodlust and Eldar will disregard it in their arrogance.

  Strengths: Fun campaign, the imperial guard are good

  Weaknesses:The campaign is too short, questionable value with Dark Crusade out

  Overall Evaluation: Winter Assault is the first expansion pack to the great RTS Dawn of War, adding two new campaigns, a new race, and new units/technologies to the old races. The campaigns are divided into order and disorder, the order campaign letting you play eldar and imperial guard, the disorder campaign letting you play chaos and ork, the space marines play a minor role in the expansion and aren't playable. Though the multi-race campaigns are pretty fun, they're both pretty short and not particularly replayable. In the skirmish and multiplayer front, Winter Assault adds the imperial guard race, on top of interesting new units and techs for all the old races. Overall Winter Assault is a very good and worthwhile expansion pack, the only drawback now is that with the newer Dark Crusade stand-alone expansion pack released (And letting you play every race in singleplayer), is Winter Assault still worth picking up? On the whole, I would say no. Unless you want to play imperial guard online, the campaigns alone don't justify the purchase unless you're a big Dawn of War or Warhammer 40,000 fan. For it's time though, it's a fantastic expansion.
