RTS and RPG fans alike should probably check out this review from our sister site Neoseeker, where we delve into the old and the new with this Dawn of War sequel.

Lots of screens, video footage, and details await you at the source..the only question is if it's the game for you, hm?

A lot of people have been looking forward to Relic's Dawn of War II, and this latest installment in the Warhammer 40,000 franchise has already been rattling a few cages since its recent debut. Many reviews coming in from magazines and other news sites have been leaning on the positive side, but there are those who feel less enthusiastic about the new Dawn of War.

[It] starts out like any other Relic RTS you may have played, and Warhammer 40k fanatics are probably thrilled to find out that the humans, Eldar, Orks, and Tyranids have been successfully crammed into a single game. The Blood Ravens have returned to spread the Emperor's goodwill throughout the galaxy. Now players are only privy to events occuring within the Aurelius sub-sector, as they take on the role of some unnamed commander. The small scale battles -- "small scale" in comparison to Warhammer 40k -- eliminate infamous retconning, which franchise followers have complained about before, as I learned.
