3.0 out of 5 starsFun, innovative, but repetitive and steam+GFWL
By M. Cordoba VINE VOICE on February 23, 2009
Platform for Display: PCEdition: Standard
The game is fun, but it had the potential to be amazing, and fell short. Originally I said to wait before buying, but the bugs have been ironed out, and now it's a good time, specially at the discounted prices.

Things to know:
- Requires Games For Windows Live (GFWL) account
- Steam installation and account required
- No base building (departs from traditional RTS)

=== SUMMARY ===
I just realized the review has gotten pretty long as I've added other information, so I wanted to write something for those people who want a quick overview:
If you don't mind few units, Steam, Games For Windows Live and lack of base building, you will enjoy the game a lot. The loot/items, unique characters, combat right from the start, persistent troops throughout the single player campaign, and an engaging and different 4 races make this game a great departure from traditional RTS. All wrapped up with great graphics, sound and animation to boot. The single player campaign does become very very repetitive after mission 30 or so. (there are probably 80 plus missions - I'm on 75 and counting)

=== THE BAD STUFF ===
- Steam (more details below)
- You need to be connected to the internet to play the single player campaign.
- You need to be logged in to Windows Live to play the game... ugh...
- [[EDIT February 27: While the game crashed quite a bit when I first got it, it has been very stable with the last 2 patches, improving things dramatically. I only have 1 BSOD right after a February 23 major patch. So it looks like the crashing issues have been ironed out. But it was a serious issue at first]]
- Single player campaign ONLY for marines... This is just plainly a bad decision.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsA new direction but still good.
By Samuel Henderson on March 4, 2009
Platform for Display: PCEdition: Standard
I was skeptical when I bought this game. It was not so much Dawn of War 2 as it was its own new game. The only thing it held in common with the original was the setting and the developer. If you can get past the fact that this isn't the original with better graphics then you should really enjoy this game.

Single Player, the campaign was very enjoyable. The story was a little lacking compared to say Starcraft but it was much better then Dark Crusade or Soul Storm. The RPG element gives replayablity and is really fun to collect different weapons.

Multiplayer, is fast paced and really enjoyable. 3v3 is where its at and you can have games that swing back and forth. The coop campaign is a huge bonus.

It does require an internet connection, windows live and steam. But I personally have experienced no problems with this and I find it to be a better option compared to others.

The future, this game has tons of options for the future. I really hope relic sticks to their promise of supporting this game, because it could be one of the greats.

2.0 out of 5 starsIf it ain't broke...
By JC Greffrath on April 2, 2009
Platform for Display: PCEdition: Standard
Contrary the developers' opinion, this game does not combine the best of Company of Heroes and Dawn of War; rather, it is CoH translated into a Warhammer 40k storyline -- and a lot gets lost in translation.

First off, the experience of installing this game -- simply getting to PLAY it for the first time -- was something I would not wish upon my worst enemy. Downloading and registering for three separate Big Name online platforms is just the beginning; then there's Steam to deal with and the fact that THQ are not thrifty with their update download sizes. Plus there's no way you can run the game if Steam even gets a whiff of an update that it wants. For someone with unlimited broadband access this is no problem; us plebs outside the US and Europe, however, usually have a download cap, which Steam apparently has no sympathy for.

The game itself has an amusing, if monotonous, single player campaign, which is apparently touted as having great replay value. I was personally very disappointed with the RPG elements brought into the multiplayer, since this is exactly what Blizzard did to ruin WarCraft II when they made WarCraft III. Aside from the fact that armies are now considerably smaller than they used to be in DoW -- there goes another star off the rating -- the gameplay itself feels much more sluggish and unwieldy. Frankly this cover idea becomes annoying after the novelty has worn off. Combine with this fewer unit options, fewer upgrades, a tech tree that makes you wonder why they even bothered to include it, and you're left wondering how a great game like Dawn of War could have been pruned down to hatch such a lacklustre, over-hyped, and anaemic progeny.

Did THQ want to make Dawn of War accessible to younger audiences (eg. the three to seven age group)?Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsGood concept, poor execution.
By Bernard J. DeCrane on March 20, 2009
Platform for Display: PCEdition: Standard
First of all, many players (myself included) were expecting a game that basically merged the original Dawn of War with Company of Heroes, so you had a more tactically advanced game but souped up graphics and fun things like cover, suppression, large maps, etc.

What we got instead, was the tabletop in 3d form, and in it's own right I'd say it didn't turn out half bad, I still wish I could get Dawn of War 2 how I imagined it, but thems the breaks.

So, if you look beyond that, the gameplay is pretty fun, I don't really get down with Multi Player but the Single Player is AMAZINGLY well done, I really, REALLY adore the single player... The co-op was a great touch too!

Biggest gripe? If Windows Live is down, you're not able to play. If you want to play by yourself, offline? Sorry, no go! You HAVE to have a working Internet Connection and Windows Live servers HAVE to be working or you CANNOT play.

The game play also gets super repetitive before long and leads to a very ho-hum kind of feeling, I've played through the single player on two difficulties now and while I'm *slightly* excited to try and beat it on Primarch, (the highest difficulty) it really isn't going to be much different... Take a little extra time clearing a corner, etc.

The game is fun, but I kind of feel like Relic didn't really deliver this time 'round, sadly... I'd like it a lot more I think if it wasn't for the whole Windows Live / Internet issue, but a lot of users have complained of that to quite a lengthy extent so I won't rant about it too much.
