Warhammer 40000: Dawn Of War II - Chaos Rising

If the enjoyed the original DoW II then I can guarantee you will enjoy this. Even if you didnt like the original, I'd suggest trying it again because much as changed and the expansion has breathed new life into the game.

Chaos Rising add the Chaos Space Marines - that is the Space Marines evil brethren. Unlike in the original Dawn of War where Chaos felt like Space Marines with spikes, in Dawn of War II they feel like their own completely new and original race! Great fun to play against and as.

The singleplayer campaign is massive amounts of fun and now instead of running for A to B and killing a boss every mission, you have to complete objectives that have tons of variety and make the missions awesome. The new corruption feature means throughout the campaign, you're marines can slowly turn towards chaos which will unlock them dark, unholy but very cool gear.

Chaos Rising is a great addition to DoW2.

It adds 13 new story missions to the game, each one a tad different from the rest so as not to bore the player. Squads can now level to a maximum of 30 - this seems like a lengthy increase, but the truth of the matter is that you'll reach the level cap a few missions before the last one.

Regarding the new Chaos multiplayer army, well - they're unique, as was the worry from some they'd be "too similar to Space Marines". Chaos feature a wealth of diverse units, mostly melee oriented, making for some (often quite annoyingly) linear strategies.

There are also 2 more heroes that are playable in The Last Stand; the Hive Tyrant - who takes a "summoner" role (spawning lesser Tyranid creatures to weaken and harass enemies) and the Sorcerer who can create daemonic copies of his foes and blast apart enemies using psychic powers.

The other armies each recieve new units, too (ignore the guy below me, no faction LOSES units - the Tyranid unit was just moved to a different tier of construction). I'll leave it at that, but this is definitely the expansion we've waited for.
