Dawn of War - Platinum Edition (If you are into base building)
Dawn of War 2 - (If you don't like base building)

Watch some reviews online. They are two different games btw.

I agree with what he tried to say though

Two very different games.

I enjoyed both a lot.

Couldn't really say which, if you like more squad based with elements of RPG in there, go for two.
If you wanna build bases, collect resources and churn out units, go for the first.

Platinum + Soulstorm + DoWII = £26.97

Complete pack = £32.46

Did I miss something?

If you go for an original DoW pack, you must have Dark Crusade at least. The campaign game is excellent.

theres an official demo Of DoW II iirc so you can at least check out performance and some gameplay.

Dawn of War II for under £10 is a cracking deal and well worth splashing out the cash.

No dispute here. I only object to the campaign - not all of it, which is why it's still great. I just wish they'd made the main campaign more like Dark Crusade, and the Terminator armour missions are just ridiculously hard - there was no need for that. It's like showing the donkey the carrot, then kicking it in the nuts. Why did you do that?
