Weak Campaign, Strong Multi Player, Needs More Maps.

User Rating: 9 | Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II PC
Campaign entices you at first. Draws you in by (if you have a good graphics card) great visual and sound effects, diversity in combat situations, and a great control scheme. Campaign gets to play more like an RPG. Great diversity in weapons you can get for your characters and the looting aspect makes you crave more missions, but it gets old, fast when you have to start replaying missions. Also, it gets quite trite from only having a single race to play in the campaign. Storyline is none existent, no depth, nothing to fallow. The strong aspect of the campaign lies in the character development.

Multi player on the other hand balances the negative facets of the campaign. Although some have to occasionally deal with having a bad connection or having to deal with people kicking you out. Fast paced interaction with the focus aimed on fighting instead of base building keeps you right in the center of the bout, and in the vim. Small assortment of maps is compensated with well balanced and dynamic combat. It could get boring to only play as the three race given, but with collaborating teammates, the possibilities could be endless. Still makes you wish for an expansion or two for other races. Overall if you are a fan of the DOW series, you will be pleased, but not to any degree amazed with this well put together sequel.
