Dawn of war

I've just downloaded the dawn of war demo and had a quick player around with it, just wondered if anyone else had yet or not. I hadn't heard anything about the game untill someone mentioned it on here and I checked it out. Having been one of those geeky kids that played warhammer 40k when I was younger I was pretty interested to check the game out but was slightly disappointed to find it's been turned into abit of a c&c resource management style game. I also found the camera controls and lack of pause button slightly annoying, if the camera was done NWN style it would have been fine. There was also a lack of customizable controls on the demo which hopefully is rectified for the full release. Looks like it could be a fun game though.

Anyone else tried it yet ?

Yeh, I played the demo and am DEFINATELY buying that game when it comes out.

If you've got the Demo with you at SG, I'll be happy to give you a game (though it'll be a tad boring, I suspect, being only able to send Impreial Marines against each other...) :(

I haven't decided if the game's worth buying yet or not. I might wait for the price to go down abit before I get it.

I'm not comming to the next shotgun so can't give you a game then saddly :/

I've only been playing the demo, its pretty fun though. Jet pack marines jumping into and out of battle is pretty darn cool.
