I am a huge fan of the WH universe and i simply loved DoW 1.. About DoW2...it seems i've been waiting for nothing. Pitty
Well i'll make it a short one. I was expecting from DoW 2 to be an engaging RTS, with lots of things to offer, lots of tactical choices that came from the extremly varried unit types. My first "letdown" was when i saw 4 ... Read Full Review

I can summarize this game by saying it has nothing to it. I don't even know why they called it Dawn of War 2, when it has so little in common with its predecessor. No buildings! Only 4 races! 11 units per race! No... Read Full Review

Terrible. Why would you copy W3's terrible hero system?
DOW2 copies Warcraft 3's mediocre hero system, except they forget the key point to all rts, resources. Replacing the terrible strategic point, capture points with fewer, larger and even more pointless take points. Fewer ... Read Full Review
