Great single-player campaign that is made even better by playing co-op with a friend. Original multiplayer that streamlines everything to focus on combat and tactics. Four interesting and fun races to play with. Incredible graphics and sound that make eve...
Some RTS purists may be put off by the lack of base-building and resource management, especially in multiplayer. There are only seven maps for multiplayer which really hurts the games online value and is the only reason its not getting 9/10.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II successfully builds on the longstanding Warhammer 40,000 epic. It adheres to the guidelines and social structures set forth by the later rule-set from Games Workshop, and it does so in splendid graphical style. Real-tim...

Streamlined gameplay focusing more on squad tactics than micromanagement.

Awesome multiplayer; enjoyable single-player campaign with solid RPG elements; lots of strategic variety; random loot is fun.
Loses some of the flavor of the IP; single-player can get repetitive; multiplayer is micromanagement-intense.
