Warhammer 40.000 - Mark of Chaos[/size]
:info:
Mark of Chaos captures the fantasy combat of the Warhammer franchise in a beautiful way, but it's marred by some technical issues and a basic strategic campaign.
The Good
* Strong visuals bring the Warhammer fantasy universe to life like never before
* real-time battles are cinematic and let you play as a fantasy general.
The Bad
* Technical issues make multiplayer a frustrating experience
* campaign is fairly basic and features uneven production values.
Orcs and elves have been done so many times at this point that it's easy to be jaded about the arrival of yet another fantasy game. So it's a credit to Warhammer: Mark of Chaos that the game makes you sit up and pay attention when its gloriously detailed 3D units come up onscreen. This strategy game, based on the popular Warhammer Fantasy Battles miniatures game, is a visually impressive affair, though the first chapter in what will probably be a long-lived series doesn't quite live up to its own potential and is saddled with some frustrating technical issues.
The battles in Mark of Chaos are just like the ones in Total War games, only these feature orcs, demons, elves, and other fantasy creatures.
With its beautiful real-time 3D battles, it's natural to want to compare Mark of Chaos to the popular Total War games, which have the same sort of epic battles, only with real-world historical units instead of fantasy ones. And, like the Total War games, Mark of Chaos comes with a turn-based campaign to tie those battles together. Unfortunately, the campaign in Mark of Chaos doesn't feature anywhere near the amount of strategic depth or replayability of Total War. There are two campaigns to choose from in Mark of Chaos. One lets you play from the perspective of the mostly human Empire and its elven allies. The other lets you play as the forces of the orc-heavy chaos faction and its skaven allies, which are essentially humanoid rodents of unusual size. Those four factions are the only ones in the game, which doesn't come close to the number in the miniatures game, but at least there are three variants of each faction. Plus, we must admit that there's something almost sinisterly cool about the Empire faction and the Germanic undertones in its reiksguard units and elector count heroes.
