Editorial Review:
Soulstorm is the third & final expansion to the genre defining & critically acclaimed RTS, Dawn of War. In Soulstorm, two new armies are introduced, raising the total number of playable armies in DoW to an unprecedented count of nine while also adding additional units to all existing factions. The revolutionary meta-game that was introduced in Dark Crusade is further expanded to an interplanetary scale, allowing players to battle across a star system. Combined with its sister products, Soulstorm makes Dawn of War the largest and most detailed RTS ever released.
Two New Armies: Two new armies open up a world of strategic and story possibilities. Raising the total number of available armies in DoW to nine, these two new factions fight with a new resource derived from the souls of the faithful and the fallen.
New Air Units: Strategic warfare in the 41st Millennium gains a whole new dimension as each army gains new air units to rain death from the skies.
Brutal Domination: Wage war across an entire solar system as the metagame map introduced in Dark Crusade is expanded to an interplanetary scale. Liberate, enslave, or destroy entire worlds as you unleash your armies fury across the galaxy. Players will now strive to conquer an entire solar system with multiple planets & moons to be conquered - in total 34 maps are available to the player (25 for DC).
Enhanced Customisation: Customise your hero's weapons, items & abilities as he grows in power & personalise your army's insignias, colors, banners & names. Earn & unlock achievements & medals as you prove your superiority online.

Just buy Anthology... Seriously, Soulstorm just isn't worth paying anything extra for really. For a lot of people there's been on big problem, and that's that the game won't install as it won't register in some peoples DVD ROMs, maybe that's down to the DVDROMs, but it still seems stupid as Dark Crusade (also DVD ROM only) works just fine. Other ideas have been down to copy protection. Either way, it's not really acceptable. So I've had to play my friends copy on his computer. Another thing is this game was rushed,... more info
Soulstorm A contender for one of the worst expansions ever? Quite possibly. "You get to battle across an entire solar system!" ... Four planets, each with about 5 provinces each, and 3 moons. Our solar system has 8 planets. It only adds nine more provinces than Dark Crusade. "Rain death from the air!" Hardly. The new air units are awful. They're not very fast for air-craft of the 41st millennium. You can't even do decent bombing runs. Essentially, they're just land speeders raised a little higher... more info
deeply dissapointed :( i had really high hopes watching the relic forums and trying to guess what is in the game, and as a game its half decent, but it does seem far too rushed. some details and shading is off, some of the layers are out of sync, (the tau hq and sisters of battle immolator are two examples) the flying units are a great addition though, but they tend to either be too weak or too strong, maeing you'll either play the game and forget they ever created flying units, or just spawn on mass millions of flyers, send... more info
Unimpressed. I should state that in my younger years I was never a player of the Warhammer 40K table top game, so my introduction to the universe was via the original Dawn of War game. Which I thought was fantastic - a great mix of ENTERTAINING gameplay, great graphics and a good variety of factions and units. This was further enhanced with the Winter Assault add-on that gave us the Imperial Guard to play with and more well thought out cmpaigns. Next we had Dark Crusade, and for me at least this is where the... more info
