Many reviews are starting to come in for THQ's RTS sequel, Dawn of War II. Strategy Informer has published its review, praising THQ for dropping the standard base building RTS scene, giving the game a score of 9.3/10.

Much has changed since the days of just sending waves upon waves of squads to their noble deaths in the vain hope they’ll break the defensive lines of your enemies base. Relic take a page from one of their other hot RTS creations – Company of Heroes – with Dawn of War II playing huge emphasis on the squads themselves, with each feeling critical to success. To this end maps are littered with cover spots everywhere bringing the intensity of battles to new highs as you literally throw everything you have to gun, grenade and charge your way through. To help keep the relentless tug of war going on the fields of battle, units are better equipped with talents and abilities which don’t feel over bearing or cheaply tacked on; in a tight spot they can turn the tide quickly.
