I have both but it seems to require a pretty awesome graphics card to run. Mine is only a laptop (although it is new) so 144Mb graphics, 4G RAM and 2.4GHz dual core blah blah blah, but even though Mark of Chaos is 2 years old it won't run and the specs list minimum 256Mb graphics card...
Medieval II and other stuff runs fine, but not Warhammer. And I read the main complaint for MoC was that the loading was too slow. Not surprised.
Perhaps it would be better on a game-monster PC??

I read a review of this game and it gave it about 6/10 because it says that although the campaign is awful, the skirmish games make up for it because you get I think 6 armies from which you can design your own lists and paint them the way you want etc.
The reviews did pan the game for its poor graphics and the fact that it uses a 2-year old engine instead of having updated it.
I didn't think that the MoC graphics were all that amazing. I played the game and although it took its toll on my PC compared to others, there wasn't that much of a difference. Apparently in this game the attack animations are abysmal too; it says that for instance a swordsman gets one attack animation and it doesn't even hit the enemy guy - it just swings through the air. Given, there isn't a game that does do visible damage to enemy guys with physical attacks.

Odd that Medieval II runs fine and this doesn't, Medieval is alot more CPU intensive but then I think looks a damn site better. I played the original Mark of Chaos and couldn't really get into it. Graphics aren't everything remember! DoW is old and the graphics are not great but the game play is there. Same with Homeworld, ancient game, looks naff but the gameplay it miles better than alot of today games . I didn't know it was coming to the 360, if you get it tell me how the controls pan out. I played C&C3 on the 360 and found the controls a far cry from the keyboard and mouse combo personally.
