This game has a LOT of potential. So far, in its early stages, it's proven to be a very fun game. I played it for about 2 hours and got to level 4. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't figure out how exactly I can get my new car.

Now, in the start, you have to spend the first 5 minutes just reading through a very long text that explains how everything works. Instead, I'd suggest a categorized way of looking through things. That way it's better to look over things later on as well.

The game mechanics are.. they're not the best. It's sluggish, the car handling is pretty crap and civilians driving trucks often cause traffic jams because they can't turn a tight corner. As far as civilian interaction goes and completing missions that involve finding suspects, it's pretty much impossible. I mean my first callout was a vandalism case. I asked the guy who called what the vandals look like and he gave me the descriptions of them. Problem was, the descriptions matched like 3 nearby NPCs. I'd have no way of knowing which one of them is the real criminal. Some diversity in appearances would be nice. Just retexture the clothes, if you must.

DUIs are a little confusing. So I check someones breath and they're under the influence. I get them out, place them under arrest and it gets ticked under "Innocent Civilians Arrested"? DUI is an arrestable crime in pretty much every state in America. Wut.

As far as on-duty off-duty time goes, I think there's way too much effort put into the off-duty aspect. The stress level is.. meh. Hanging out with your mother/sister/grandparents/friends doesn't even give you any stress points, which is weird. And what's with the applause as if I've just won an Oscar after hanging out with people?

The police vehicle itself is well done, as well as the interactables. Indicators, siren and the strobes themselves. However, it being just red is kind of bland. Red and blue in the future pls. Oh and while I think to mention it, please add a tutorial on how to get a new police vehicle, because I have not got a clue on how to get my new ones.

There should also be a little bit of further research be done on the ranks. I mean you don't have Police Officer and then Senior Deputy. Deputy = Sheriff's Office/Department (county). Police Officer = Police Department (city).

The game is built on a strange engine as well. I mean the graphics aren't really top of the line and I'm lagging horribly unless I run it under low graphics. It doesn't make much sense that I can run Payday 2 better than I can run this.

All in all, like I said, it's a pretty good game with a lot of potential. Needs a lot of polishing. I mean the English itself in the game is sometimes bizarre.

I look at videos of CityLife, I look at promising pictures and features so I think to myself(even though I'm more of a RP person, not a RPG one) that I'd give it a shot to see if it's actually good.

I download all the required things, make an appeal for a interview on the forums. In a few days I want to check the forums to see if I'm accepted for an interview. Surprise ************, you're banned. So I decide to have a go at their facebook page, asking why I was banned. The admin told me I was banned for "providing false information" or something along those lines. Further investigation revealed that I had put my date of birth off one year. I'm 18 and I put my age as 19.

Now my question is: HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU HAVE A COMMUNITY WHEN YOU GET BANNED FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?! It's just one god damn year! What the hell!

Unless you are very, very, very careful about what you put your details as, you are going to get banned and nobody will care. The mod looks so promising, but this whole business of getting banned over the slightest detail is outright retarded.

Astonishing mod! The only problem I have is that I keep getting my *** kicked by the Covenant >.> though it's kind of realistic since they are more advanced and stuff. I think the uploader should have put Master Chief in to counter the Covenant, although that's solely up to him.

Final verdict is a 10/10 and absolutely amazing. I love it and I can't wait for the full thing!

The game itself was enjoyable with all the new units and such, but the horrible grammar and the story making no sense just didn't feel right. Also this fourth faction, Red 2 or something, isn't even playable. I don't even understand why it's there.

So my further suggestion for you is to check your grammar because it really makes it unenjoyable. For example: "Reven". Who .. what.. I don't even...

This mod is just one of the best I've seen out there for Dawn of War: Soulstorm. It provides so much new stuff to play with. Just makes you want to pick up that dusty game box from the shelf and start playing again. This mod definitely deserves what it's getting!

This is frigging epic! I've been waiting for this for years!!!!
