There’s a fair bit to like about Soulstorm. It’s stand-alone for starters, which means you don’t have hunt down an old copy of Dawn of War if you want to play it. It also does a good job of wrapping up all the previous expansions and content from the original for those who just want to jump straight in and play, while at the same time being an excellent platform from which to backtrack into the rest of the series.

However, there are down sides. The graphics in particular are a sore spot and it seems like Iron Lore must not have been listening to fans of the original game who have long been crying out for a better view of the battlefield. The low-res textures and occasionally jerky unit animations too would have been easily fixable problems.
