Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II (PC Games, 2009)

Besides obvious graphical improvements, this game doesn't bring much to the tabletop compared to DOW1 - fewer races (compared with the original's expansions), fewer units, and no resource management (though the latter may be to some players' tastes). Tech trees are a little boring, wargear starts out neat but loses its luster, and the requirement to install with Steam is an inconvenience as usual. Will suit some players, but probably not those who played Dawn of War through Soulstorm. The single-player campaign is relatively lame (the same missions over and over) and not worth solely getting the game for.

Nice and short:

Fantastic gameplay, really hooking, although some of the strategy is watered down with the removal of base building.

Well worth the moeny spent and many hours of gameplay to get out of this game!
7/10

More like Company of Hero but a very unique single player where u can only control 4 squads at once with MANY upgrades lvling system and items galore will keep the gamplay new. Looks beautiful and plays well if you enjoyed the first DOW or liked COH this is a must have

Bought a game called Dawn of War II. The game doesnt work... cd key is already in use. Costumer service sucks, he told me to look online...

"guarantee to work" is a lie!

The game is great. Fun, exciting online play will keep you under its spell Fantastic production values

THE GAME IS 100% NEW & IT WORKS! THE KEYGEN TOO! GOOD SELLER!
GANBEI KAMPAI SALUT CHEERS!

With StarCraft II on the horizon, this epic series will last until then. It's lush graphics and chaos-centered battles ensure some great experiences. It's gameplay is not the best, but it's different. It's not trying to mimic other titles. Plus it's one of the few PC games for Windows Live which lets you connect to your Microsoft Xbox account.

Fast shipping, excellent seller. very happy with my transaction. Would buy from this seller again. L

As described, new packaged Warhammer 40K Dawn of War II DVD. Adequate packaging, fast shipping. Game came in a the usual plastic DVD case, with a carton box cover, included is a player’s guide, and a hierarchy map. Enjoyable game as ever

This game, amazing. If you love RTS and you previously owned the first dawn of war. This game will blow that game out of the park! Completely revamped.

Vendor shipped quickly. Game was just as noted and price was right. Will do businness with vendor again.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II is one of the most profitable game that I have ever bought. While you are trying to stop three races with Space Marines during various single missions upto level 20, you also find different items which are useful for upgrading your four heroes.

But the most brilliant part is the ranked multiplayer matches. You can choose four races ( Space Marines, Orcs, Eldar, Tyranids) to play lots of maps with your friends or against other players thanks to matchmaking system according to your rank.

In the 15 day after I have bought the game, I played multiplayer 26 hours. Definitely a MUST BUY and a money worth product.

I collect RTS games and I can tell you it was really worth it. Really not that expensive as the retail stores, a was shocked to see the game at that prize. I recommend buying from him and the shipping and handling went well. thank you again for the business.

Just as described, but for you Dawn of War First Edition, it's a whole deferent ball game. It's all one on one combat, hard to the core. However the new graphics and gaming concepts are out of this world, literally. I do miss the old concepetd thogh, but still well worth it.

I got Dawn of War II its a great game it alot of fun to play i wish all would play this game ,my son really like Dawn of War II he said its better than the first Dawn of War

ive always loved dawn of war and their expansions and i thank u for having this one especially for me and thank u for the speedy shipment.

Through ignorance I purchased a used copy of the game. The key was not valid to get me through the STEAM registration and I cannot even play offline.
BEWARE!

I've played a lot of RTS titles on PC. Most as we know are driven by building structures and gathering resources. For some I'm sure that's your ideal RTS. Personally I always enjoyed Diablo type RTS/RPG games. Where you focus on your character or your party and you gain in strength and utility as you level. Well DoW2 works along those lines. We leave the structure building and put a twist on resource gathering. I'll begin this with the multiplayer aspect.

Firstly the only structure is your main production building. You could also look at it as a teleporter relay that sends troops to you as you que them. You are not required to build additional structures whatsoever. However, if your main building happens to be destroyed in game you may not rebuild it.

Resources, oh how I sometimes despise thee. Resources always felt like a nuisance for me. I prefer a very instructional control over combat mechanics. I want to be in the fight and stay in the fight with very little need to focus elsewhere. DoW2 does this for me. Resources are obtained by merely taking various nodes in game by clicking it with a unit and staying there for the duration till it's captured. Usually a minute to take. Once taken it is yours and increases resource income. This is also a means of strategy as resource harrassing as in other games can become a strategy. However due to this easy means of resource gathering you are focused almost entirely on combat. May I also add that combat is almost completely nonstop from start to finish.

Lastly your units. You choose a race then one of three commanders/heroes associated with that race. Each has it's strengths and weaknesses and you'll want to choose one based on your style of play. Once you start the game you will begin in Tier 1. It's the first of three tiers where only certain units are available for your purchasing. More become unlocked as you advance to each tier. Commanders and units gain xp in multiplayer as they sucessfully kill enemies. Commanders may reach a max of level 10 and units a max level of 4. Obviously trying to reach those levels may not always be easy and managing your units to keep them alive while making wise kills and sacrifices is imperative. A level 4 squad vs a level 1 squad obviously has an advantage, but one that isnt unbeatable by any means. Strategy and unit composition and make a level four squad just as easily beatable as the level 1.

Singleplayer has been fun. Your units gain xp and of course level up as you progress. THe campaign is non linear so you will be able to choose which mission you'd like to partake on. If a side mission pops up with a good reward, you may feel inclined to take it before you continue the storyline. As you move through missions and fight your way to the end you'll experience item drops. Or loot as many of us call it. These items or loot can be distributed to your squad at the squad selection screen between missions. Weapons, armor, secondary items, enhancement items etc are all readily available. So this gives it a Diablo type feel as your characters level up, become stronger and loot weapons, items and gear.

Overall I enjoy the game. I find myself playing the multiplayer often. It's been a great alternative to the typical RTS, "build your city then attack," game. I can only hope more games with this take on gameplay are released. Dawn of War 2 is definitely on the right track of creating something new but very fun. It is action packed.

You just cant beat exploding orcs! Fast pace, great graphics, and non stop action. Sure to love if your into RTS games.

I was a huge fan of the first dawn of war, so I was excited to give the sequel a try. It is a very different game, moving from a focus on huge armies to a focus on small unit tactics. The campaign is excellent and provides a great story to experience. The multiplayer is deep and should provide a lot of replayability.

if you played the first dawn of war game. think of this as what should have been it. offline is fun but kind of sort and only 1 race to play.
online is far different then offline.

Great game although I feel like it's in an unfinished state, the good news is that it's being actively supported by the developer. Another annoyance is the presence of double DRM (Digital Rights Management) in the forms of Steam and Windows Live....It's been an issue only once but if one or the other service goes down, you can't play the game, the upside is that it's not likely to be pirated easily.

Fun game, great graphics, but I dislike the game play on this one. I like the build your own unit system on the old game, and not the reinforcement version oin the new Dawn of War 2 game.
