news 28 Posted February 20, 2009 Hi all, We have just published a review of *Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War II*. If you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated. *Link:* http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/pc/2009/02/20/dawn-of-war-2-pc-review/1 *Picture:* http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2009/02/dawn-of-war-2-pc-review/fp_img.jpg *Quote: */That last point is something that sounds like a small irritation, but in reality it can hugely affect how you play the game. Certain units, like Devastators, are slow-moving but powerful, so they work best Focus-Firing from behind cover. Actually getting them into cover wasn't usually worth the effort though so, as time went on, I found myself favouring units that don't need such fiddly mechanics. Jetpack Troopers to the rescue! It has to be said though that, no matter how annoying some of the game's quirks can be, //Dawn of War II still rises above these issues as a whole. The game is wonderful fun and the way that Relic has sought to do something new with the arguably stagnant RTS genre is commendable. It's something that can't be dragged down by the few flaws that the game does have, especially when it's pleasantly rounded out by co-op and online modes. //Dawn of War II isn't revolutionary and anyone who's expecting as much will likely be a little disappointed. What it is is the logical next step of Relic's continuing experiments in the strategy genre and it's damned good. If the end result could be smoothed out and spiced up in the future (and if GFWL could be improved or done away with) then this could be the start of something truly excellent./ * *Cheers guys!
