The original Dawn of War and its subsequent standalone expansions established the series as one of the industry’s leading RTS franchises. Dawn of War II helps to redefine RTS gaming, delivering brutal frontline action and tactics, and allowing you to get straight to the action with immensely fast-paced gameplay and a full co-op campaign, all in gory detail. Value for money is assured by the campaign, which offers a good 30 gameplay hours, and you can then play Skirmish mode where the three other races are opened up - including the elusive Tyranids. As a Games for Windows - Live game, it is also one of the few PC games to use the Achievements system from the Xbox 360, and is the first widely released, PC-exclusive game to use them. RTS gaming doesn’t get any better than this.
