Totally not nearly as awesome as Dark Crusade. All the characters are completely flat - even Gorgutz. The Adeptus Soriatas have a bit more personality than the rest: of course everyone knows that they were implemented by a mod team for Dark Crusade, and then ported over as the core content expansion for Soulstorm.
The stronghold fights are pretty weak in comparison to Dark Crusade. They're still tough, but the Imperial Guard stage isn't a big puzzle anymore, the Eldar's fortress is way easier to crack open, and the Necron stage is actually... easy.
I think this expansion is aimed at people that multiplayer, rather than people that like playing the conquest meta-game like me.
