What Gamespot Users have to say about Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II

Rating:9.5
This is the greatest thing that's happened to RTS/RTT games in ages.
DoW II takes all the best features from CoH, DoW, Diablo II, X-Com, Dune, and WoW and puts it into one game. Not to mention it has that gritty/dark/brutal feeling, similar to when your playing a game like Gears of War. I... Read Full Review

Relic steps outside the box, occasionally trips on the edges, but creates something any RTS fan should experience.
They original Dawn of War pioneered a lot of innovations for the RTS genre. Dawn of War II continues this trait and works to make the RTS genre far more open to new players while giving old fans something enjoyable to pl... Read Full Review

There is no end to the action, and every ounce of strategy relies on field tactics rather than tech or bases.
I'm just going to knock this out right in the beginning. Here is everything that might most turn off a player from Dawn of War 2. 1. There is no base building. If you enjoy managing your buildings and tech trees than re... Read Full Review

A fun single player, deep multiplayer, and a substantial deviation from standard RTS formula.
Not too much can be said for this game, except its great. While the single player may not be as deep as one would have liked, its still pretty immersing. The RPG elements are nice. The story is weaker than I would have... Read Full Review

Just the start of something special.
I think this is a great game and a great second step in the 40000 titles..But I don't think everybody don't understand the process of how relic works. Yea the game is kind of bare for a game that we've been waiting on fo... Read Full Review

Mix of RTS and a little RPG.
The game concept is nothing new as I have played games like this before. It's basically an RTS game with a little RPG thrown in. As the game progresses, you pick up armor, weapon and other perks and are able to add, re... Read Full Review

Just what I was expecting! Awesome gameplay in single player, co-op and multiplayer...
First things first, every reviewer on this board that says "I have been waiting for this game for a year and it's not what I expected" they need to get a slap in the face. Sorry, had to get that off my chest. I HAVE been... Read Full Review

Dawn of War 2 breaks out of the RTS rut - if you're tired of the formula, take a look at this great game!
The reaction for this game seems to be love it or hate it. Personally, I love it, though I can see why others would hate it. I'll try to address both here. My comments refer to the single player campaign - I have not yet... Read Full Review

Warhammer is back, but is this bloodthirsty sequel worth your wait? The answer... YES!
Warhammer, its been Relic's flagship game for almost 3 years or so, it would make sense to make a sequel to that wildly popular game, and that is by god what they did. They took what Dawn of War had, threw it out to conc... Read Full Review

Watered down shadow of the original lacking all the pace, intensity and strategy.
I could go on and on about how this game fails. Foremost... this is RTS. This is an RPG, and essentialy plays no different than dungeon seige. The squads are RPG units, and are used accordingly. The only element of s... Read Full Review
