Pros: Solid gameplay, very diverse number of races to play with
Cons: gets linear, new races don't require much in regards to strategy
The Bottom Line:
a great instalment, with only a trend going upward.
I swear these guys are trying to get every race in the universe of Warhammer marching on your screen aiming at the face of another race, that is also, marching on your screen.
Warhammer Dark Crusade gives the player 2 additional races alongside the 5 the previous titles would give you. The two races in this particular case are the Tau and Necron fighters, an enslaving spiritual race bent of unifying the universe with their ways, through force if necessary, and Necron, a great civilization of technology that has been in a deep slumber for eons.
It seems with every addition there is always rebalancing issues. Make the other races weaker/stronger here to accommodate the new races.
While this doesn't fry my bacon, it does force me to play my favorite races in ways I might not have wanted to before, and the new races this time around are all pretty impressive, but ideally the tactic styles for them are limited.
I've never really felt the need to mix and match units with these new races. I mean, building the basic rifleman you start off with for either one, in mass, with upgrades will do ya for the mission. Come hell or high water you're prepared with enough firepower to send a message loud and clear.
And though it's fun to watch a sea of energy stream and rip your enemy asunder it leaves much to the desire to see yourself need to pull off a strategy that might not have relied on simply standing around until you had an army the size of the continent itself.
This new expansion brings with it the map domination type of play for the campaigns, letting the player take over key areas on a map as they battle the computer for dominance.
The squad based system remains the same as the previous games, and it is worth noting that THQ were the first, with this title to introduce a squad based unit system which you would find filtering into many games today.
