Hot metal on target on time! I just finished WH40000, and albeit a tad bit short (about 10-12 hours for the main campaign) this is the first RTS since the good ole' days of RTS action (Dune II, Command & Conquer, etc.) that not only held my attention but riveted me to my computer for hours at a time! First off, the opening animated sequence for the opening is worth the money alone (on par with the first Mech Warrior opening movie). It is the absolute jaw droppingly coolest and most violent game opening sequence ever, period. I watched it 50 times and still could watch it another 50. The interface of WH40000 is really simple and easy to learn. The units and unit animations, sound, AI, path finding, special effects are all excellent, very cool, and well done. The missions are interesting and the story (with numerous lengthy between-mission animated plot hooks and twists) draws you into the story. My only complaints about the game are: 1.) Changing the view is a bit awkward compared to a lot of similar type games (Homeworld, Ground Control II, etc) 2.) Once you build up 3 or 4 groups of your Blood Ravens, they are virtually unstoppable, so some missions are a bit of a cake walk 3.) It is a short campaign, and unlike most RTS games, you don't have the option to play the other races The good news is this is an excellent, well done, and virtually bug-free game, and it provides a great platform for future add-ons and expansion packs. The game ends with a total plot twist and invitation to many more missions for the Blood Ravens to come! I give this game 5 stars and fully recommend it. As soon as you see your Ravens enter combat against overwhelming odds and the thunder of the auto-cannons and bolter guns opens up, and the Ork meat starts flying through the air, you will see what I mean.
