    How you approach Dawn of War II depends on what you're looking for in a real-time strategy game. If you're looking for an incredibly fun and intense multiplayer and single-player skirmish experience, few RTSs provide combat this exciting and dynamic. If you were hoping for a similarly dynamic campaign mode, you'll find that the strategy has been mostly stripped away in favor of role-playing elements. This divide may help the game appeal to a wider audience, but it also... Read more

    It doesn't deliver on all fronts but Dawn of War II is a strategic, mostly satisfying attempt at reinventing the RTS genre. Read more

    For those of you who are looking for a strong strategy and aren't set in your ways or have any anal hangups (that's an odd phrase), then you should really enjoy Dawn of War 2. It's certainly worth checking out. Read more

    One particularly curious design decision for DoW2 was Relic's use of online services to support their title. Despite being published by THQ, the game makes use of Valve's Steam online distribution system for retail copies as well as online digital sales. This means when you install the game you need to do so through Steam, which means you need a Steam account and your game is tied to it. This has upsides and downsides, the most notable for each is the ability to play the... Read more

    If you have read my reviews before then you will know I love real time strategy games. I’m quite stubborn about what ones I keep going back to and picky about content and how menus are laid out etc. I’m also very picky about sequels and expansions and the next game I’m reviewing has had no less than three expansions but only one sequel.

    Dawn of War 2 is an interesting jump away from the traditional RTS into the RTT world that I believe has worked very well. It's no longer about who has the most perfected first 30 sec build queue but pushes it into how you deploy your warriors and who you deploy for a more immersive experience. The SP story is captivating and a definite must for anyone who loves the Warhammer 40K universe. The highly customizable wargear out fiting and control of the units makes for an... Read more

    Dawn of War 2 is the latest installment for relics series "Dawn of War". These games take place in the grim future of the warhammer 40k universe, where lost technology is being closely guarded by the adeptus mechanicus "ÄKA Techpriests" and humanity is one the brink of destruction. The universe is largely stooped in religion and often relate common tasks to a religious resemblence. The elite defenders of the Imperium of man are the Adeptus Astartes "AKA Space Marines"...

    Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II is a good battle strategy game , that took out alot of the fun from the previous title , could have been so much more , but in the whole, not a bad game at all, and game seemed very same old thing too , with each level there seemed no other changes other than maybe the enemy were slightly stronger , maybe I need to try a harder lvl lol :D but worth your time in my opinion, enjoy. Like the upgrades on the equipment. Bad points are no... Read more
