I've put 35 hours into it this past week alone, finished the campaign, and now I'm going back for more. Does that answer your question?

Im loving it to man, its just a heck of alot of fun and very addicting. I wasnt expecting to enjoy the game nearly as much as i am. The singleplayer campaign is alot of fun and the coop with a friend if great to. Only played the online on the beta, just been addicted to the singleplayer/coop now! Its fun upgrading your guys and what not! I was expecting to give the game a 7 or 8/10 but its a 9/10 on all fronts imo. I was very skeptical, but im really having alot of fun with it here!

gogamer just had a sale end for DoWII... $35 and I didn't pick it up. I'm regretting it a little, but there are other games on my radar right now... Empire and The Show.

Thanks for the heads up, they must have extended the deal. Now I have another day to consider it. I'm damn tempted. The real problem is my aging rig. Opty 170, 7800 GTX, 4 gigs of DDR400 RAM. Thinking of upgrading the video card for cheap, but as long as I'm running on an Opty 170 I'm gonna be held back. It makes newer games decidedly less appealing since I can't really run them at top spec. But like I said, for $35 it's awfully tempting.

I was gonna wait for the new Empire game to man and get Dawn Of War 2 later on. But im glad i changed my mind and got it! Its alot better hten i expected!

Yeah, that's what I keep seeing. And I guess the multiplayer is a blast. I'm planning on price matching Empire at Best Buy and using a $10 coupon to get that for $35, too. So for $70 total (the cost of Empire SE) I'll be getting DoWII AND Empire. But then I need to buy The Show, too. Goddamnit, video games! Why do you have to be so addicting?

retro82 you should able to run it, but you have to have steam account to play. The game is great but now I really want an expansion or download or more new stuff...if they do it right I can see this game going far.

I thought the Gamespot review was pretty boring; I mean they portrayed the game as a boring one. After reading some of the above posts, I really am considering the game.

Thanks for that gogamer info, I just ordered the game. I really enjoyed the beta, but was short on cash, but at that price its a steal.

yeah, it's just what settings can you run it on.

maybe not full, and you might have some lag.

way for me to state the obvious.

I had been trying to decide if I should get it - enjoyed DOW - sounds like DOW2 will be a worthy addition

Its nothing like DoW 1. THink of it as Commandos meets Warhammer 40k. Really really enjoyable game though, but definitely more an action RTS than a traditional RTS, but that doesn't mean to say its shallow at all

it's the must fun I had in SP in any RTS game so far, I only played through CnC series and -craft series to see the fancy cinematics, the actual gameplay was boring for me and I couldn't wait to finish the mission, but here I realy enjoyed the actual gameplay part of the SP, I also realy like the wargear and talent thingy, I think I spend almost as many time looking at the wargear screen as I did playing the game

and the wargear part is addictive as hell, just like in a RPG always going "meh I'll finish just this optional mission to get the blue chainsword then I go to the story mission" I told myself this some 10 times in a row before I actualy went to do the story mission :D

yeah I love collecting wargear and tinkering with the stats of my guys. Also in battles (and in MP) it's the level of micro-ing needed that makes it frantically exciting

I think i have over a hundred hours invested in it since beta started, it's really awesome, grab a buddy or two and you will have some serious fun in multiplayer.
