Flawless
The gameplay, graphics, and ease of use are seamless with the original. Campaign mode is much improved, providing a new system of victory based conquest and hero advancement. Very fun. Very well made.

Worth the cost
I installed this game and got it running (quite smoothy) a few weeks ago, and I was quite surprised. Firstly, it doesn't even require the original Dawn of War or Winter Assault games to be installed, but to be able to use the five races from those games in multiplayer, to have to install them and provide a cd-key. Secondly, I suspect that they made their graphics more effecient, because it got way prettier, but my computer got no better.
Gameplay, though, it somewhat repetitive, with only one game type for every map (occasionally interspaced with freakishly advanced, but fun, maps with sometimes nigh-impossible objectives.) They fiddled with the game balance from the previous games too, so don't look forward to the all-out Lemon Russ assault with Baneblade as the spearhead for the Imperial Guard, or a massive fleets of Prisem Cannons and Warp Spiders as the Eldar. The new units are excellent, though, and the Necrons are a very imposing force on the battlefield, with an HQ that can teleport and move around, and is covered in guns.
Even with only one game type in the campagin mode, I still find this to be an exiting and origenal stratagy game, and even inside the limitation of the objectives, there are still suprises around the corners.
(Also, there is a world of differance between Easy and Normal, so don't get mad because you cannot seem to ever lose.)

A good addition with a few perks
The gameplay itself doesn't change much except with the addition of the two new races. They, themselves, offer a whole range of new challenges and opportunities to find new ways to kill your friends on multiplayer (takes a while to get used to the Necrons though)
The new campaign is a nice addition that was def. lacking in Winter Assault. It will provide a good solid 10 hours of battles and interesting storyline, but in the end the multiplayer aspect is really where DoW shines.

Good - Not Great
I bought this game as with the hope it can eradicate the bad taste that winter assault left in my mouth. I just see it as two new races with not a whole lot changed...I was hoping for the AI to improve, but it's still quite predictable. Save your $$$ and download some mods for the original DOW.

fun but not worth it
This is a great game, and a great series of games, but I don't reccomend Dark Crusade because there are lots of flaws in it, such as the new "infiltration" ability is completely rediculous in the sense that it makes almost no sense whatsoever. Other things are wrong with the game, but this is the most obvious. My reccomendation: it's a fine game, but don't buy it, play it at a friends house.
