Not quite DoW2, but still a very fun game to play with lots of possibilities.

Although it doesn't offer the same feeling as the original this game still feels right in very many aspects. I started playing it on Hard, usually I don't do that since I am interested in the way a story develops and not very much into frustrating myself against some over enhanced enemies. But the game is pleasant like that and really takes you in and keeps you entertained. I only played with the Blood Ravens since they are the most common faction. I wanted to compare them with the ones in the original. However I feel they are not as strong, and you need to compensate this with a better tactic and use of skills. However the usual squads feel rather weak so except Terminators i don't use them on a regular basis. The skills have been simplified a bit... a bit too much. Its not as RPG like as before. You don't add points and at certain levels receive some special skill which is not as great but since the game offers the possibility of campaign with every faction I can not complain... the game would have had to be several times grater than the original.
Maybe I will update this review after I try the other campaigns. But I am pretty sure my opinion wont change drastically.
