Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, takes a bold turn away from base building and focused on small-scale, squad based tactics. At first it feels strange compared to the orginal, but once it clics, it´s incredibly fun and intense.

Pros:
(+) Strong tactical gameplay with focus on squads and abilities
(+) No base building = faster, more action focused matches
(+) RPG style progression and gear system in the campaign
(+) Great co-op campaign experiance
(+) Excellent voice acting and atmosphere

Cons:
(-) No classic base building may not appeal to these who like it in the orginal
(-) Smaller scale battles may not appeal to everyone
(-) Some missions can feel repititive
(-) Multiplayer can feel less varied then the orginal

Overall, Dawn of War II is a bold and refreshing take on the serie. It trades scale for depth, and if you enjoy tactical gameplay, it´s an absolute gem.

Purchased Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Anniversary Edition (Classic) but it does not start. Throws up a crash report. Very sad they released a game which does not run!

nowhere near as fun as i remembered it.
