"Apart from using GFWL The best merge of RTS, RTT and RPG"
4 stars"

I loved the original Dawn of War and Winter Assault, even though Dark Crusade and Soulstorm ruined the first series I was adamant to give Dawn of War 2 a go.

The Campaign is one of the most best I've ever played, because instead of focusing on building a base and then spamming the most powerful unit, you only have 4 squads to control. This ruined the game for most “Die Hard” RTS players yet it made this game immediately my favorite RTS game.

The Campaign also has the ability to play it online with a friend in CO-OP mode, which makes it even more fun IMHO.

Dawn of War 2 Gold pack includes the GOTY edition and it's first expansion: Chaos Rising. Chaos Rising continues the story of the Aurelian Sub-Sector about a year after the events of Dawn of War 2, and allows you to choose your ending, out of Uncorrupted, slightly Corrupted, mainly Corrupted or completely Corrupted. What the ending is depends on the options you take in game, each mission after the 3rd allow you the chance to corrupt or redeem your squads, also the war-gear you equip them with can also either corrupt or redeem them.

The Last Stand is my favorite game mode. In The Last Stand you choose one from: Eldar Farseer, Space Marine Captain, Ork Mekboy, Tyranid Hive Tyrant or a Chaos Sorcerer. In game you face off against 20 waves of enemies with two other players.

The one thing this game has that is lacking IMO is the multi-player skirmish.

"run and gun stratagy"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

not a slow stratagy great if you only have 30minutes. not to much thinking involved with the leveling system, so you can spend your precious time slicing, crushing and blowing away your enemy’s. Good fun

"Calling all space marines."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

An excellent addition for any gamer. A must buy for all the space marines out there who want to kick some orc rear end. Don't hesitate buy it now you won't be disappointed.

"Excellent Game. Gives me a C&C fix."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game is excellent and fun. I am a big fan of Command and Conquer but since the failure of the final game franchise I needed something new. I switched to this after scoring it for $20 and wow its amazing. The game play draws you in, the graphics are pretty extensive and there is so much to discover and do throughout the game. From upgrading soldiers with weapons and special powers, to using heavy weapons, the game has so much depth you could play it for hours.

I really love this game, but make sure you have a good video card the graphics are really good.

"Very different from the first game"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I bought this game simply because I played and loved the first game. However it is pretty different as there is more focus on fighting and less on building. If your looking to buy this game, this is a very good deal. To be honest I prefer the first game but I still love this one and I don't regret buying it
