Not like the first at all.
Fell in love wit the first one but this one is far from it. From an RTS the made a tactical hero shooter. No base bulding. Side Missions get repetitive over time. So if you're looking for something like the first one, this is not it.

Single Player Campaign Still Fun to Play
I had always hoped that this makes it way to GOG. It was my first steam game and it was fun then, and it is still fun here in GOG. The campaign missuons are short and you do have flexibility and tradeoffs in how ypu choose to complete it. The endgame can be repetitive but usually they are defense missions. I have never played multiplayer in DOW2 so I cannot comment on that. Got this on sale and I thought it is good value for the money. It also has achievements so it gave me extra motivation to play. PROS + Focused gameplay + Offline play (campaign) + Achievements + Runs well on current generation hardware (it was high-end upon launch) - Multiple difficulty levels - When on-sale great value because it includes every game and DLC in the series CONS - Not much to differentiate from steam apart from offline play and being DRM free - Difficulty ramps up

Great game !
This game is more squad based and in real time. You level up your squads and find loot that u can equip. It's alot of fun,nice story and voice acting too. I dont know why people give low ratings just becos they have to use Galaxy for online play,the game is alot more than multiplayer, i have never even tried that,the single player campaigns are really good. I dont think its fair to review bomb a good game just becos they dont like Galaxy,the single player part of this game is awesome

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II
The game overall isn't bad but it doesn't have the feel of the first one, It should be noted that LAN & multiplayer won't work by default. When SEGA bought the IP they killed that & because the original servers don't exist anymore you need to do multiplayer through GOG Galaxy. I see a bunch of people bashing GOG for this even though they have nothing to do with it. GOG only has a licence to reproduce the content- they can't add something that a previous owner removed because they don't own the IP. ANY dev, copyright lawyer, or person with a modicum of intelligence could tell you that. It's like your uncle dying & leaving you his house in the countryside & when you get there you start screaming at the urn full of his ashes because the electric company never built utility poles within 20 miles of his house so you can't get electric or internet & yelling @ someone that had no control over that is just lame. Other ppl are claiming that it's DRM! They are obviously too dense or to lazy to find out what that means. Do you need to run the original game's CD/DVD in the drive on your PC to play the game? NO? Then NOT DRM. Do you need to type in a CD/DVD licence key to install the game? NO? Also NOT DRM. Does the Game install Copy or Cheat protection Programs on your PC like Securom, Macrovision, or SafeLedge etc? NO? Definitely NOT DRM. If you're gonna send hatemail it should be either to THQ for selling it to SEGA or to SEGA for stripping the functionallity from it- NOT GOG. Also my personal favorite is Dawn of War: Dark Crusade. Soulstorm wasn't as good cause THQ killed the campaign risk map. the next is Total War: Warhammer 40K Total Warhammer 3.
