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

Actual review and not a rant.
So, Dawn of War 2. Is it a good game? Yes. Does it play differently than the first one? Yes. Was it controversial at launch? VERY YES!!! This is a case of the developers following trends that where popular at the time. RTS games where becoming a very niche genre and MOBA's where starting to take the gaming world by storm. So Relic took some elements from those games and the result was Dawn of War 2. Gone is the base building and resource management has been degraded to a bare minimum. You still take over strategic points to gather them though. In the campaign you can take up to four squads of units (you have six types in total, so you can mix it up depending on your strategy). In a way replicating the table top original. During gameplay your squads earn levels and you can find Diablo style loot drops to equip on your units. There is some time management going on as in the story you are trying to take over control over invaded planets. Each time you go on a mission you use up a day, which gives your adversary's a chance to take over a sector. However, if you manage to get a high score and do side objectives you may be rewarded with a deployment bonus thus doing more than one mission during one day. Basically babies first Total War :) Now on to the drama. Does the game have DRM? It depends if you count multiplayer matches needing to use Galaxy as one (unfortunately, bot matches also requires it as you are basically setting up an online game). Unfortunately this version of the game is based on the later Steam release. The original GfWL release had LAN options but where removed after migrating to Steam. The only way the DRM purists would be satisfied was if the whole multiplayer/Skirmish mode was gutted from the game. In the end the campaign requires no such connection's and can be enjoyed completely offline.
