I thought maybe Retribution would be just another expansion, it's not. THQ made a fantastic remodel of a game that is already great, I love the new...

Game play; graphics; AI; overall appearance; realism

I like to have larger units; the original Dawn of War allowed this but I have since adapted

Solid, working game with tons of replayability just need a texture overhaul.

Great level of replayability and you can choose between squads or heroes

the models are a little low-res when you zoom all the way in

Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War II – Retribution is a standalone "expansion" for Dawn of War II. I feel that "expansion" needs to be quoted because Retribution is an entirely standalone and complete game in itself, and ownership of either of the prior two Dawn of War games is unnecessary, and,...

This game is perfect for any type of gamer so long as you enjoy a good RTS. I know the other reviewer says it isnt stand along, and i guarantee you that if Relic and THQ say it is then it is. There will always be initial bugs to work out but then that is true of all games.

CEO: No, I said an add-on pack. Nothing huge, you know, just a couple of re-skins, maybe the odd new map...

Great feel to it; Upgrades all balanced; Way more stuff than DoW2

SP maps are linear

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution is the second stand-alone expansion to Dawn of War II , a real-time strategy/tactical role-playing game set in the Warhammer: 40,000 universe.

Orks; Tyranids; Chaos; and Eldar finally playable in a campaign; More diverse gameplay than its predecessors; The Imperial Guard faction is a great addition

Some factions' stories are poorly fleshed out; Bugs mar the Imperial Guard campaign

Retribution is a solid stand alone expansion that I would have no problem paying $50 for... and it retails for $30.
