The original Dawn of War is an excellent real time base-building strategy game and at first I was disappointed that the sequel didn't follow the same mold. However playing it for a LONG time now I can say it tries something different and most suceeds. It's a squad-based checkpoint taking boss-fighting action game now (sort of a stripped-down version of Company of Heroes with space marines) and it does this with flair. The graphics and voices and music are all perfect for the grim-dark future the game is set in and there is a lot of attention paid to keeping variety in the enemies, weapons, characters and scenarios.
It's not an easy game but if you like the universe or games in which you control a small specialized team in real time this is great.
Only real issues dragging it down for me is the real time makes manuvering somewhat difficult, re-doing missions for bonuses can get a little repetative, and some bosses are cheap. However all told I'm still playing and enjoing it! Not quite at home in the series but still a fun time.
