Relic looks to be following the same expansion model for Dawn of War II as the company did for the first game in the series: release an expansion, with a new race and new campaign, add new units to the existing multiplayer rosters, and make all of it s...

Chaos Rising, the follow up to Relic's Dawn of War II, charges you with the command of the Blood Ravens and the defence of the sector against the Chaos Space Marines of the Black Legion. So what else is new to the franchise this time around?...
Better focused campaign with less repetition. More interesting missions. Story will keep you entertained all the way through. Nice new units, characters and powers. Chaos army is a welcome addition to multiplayer. New maps and gameplay modes. Two new hero...
Campaign is a bit on the short side. Not many side quests. Corruption system takes away some of the better loot if you want to play on the side of good.

"Battle not with monsters lest ye become a monster and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you.” It isn't everyday a game about that most ubiquitous of video game characters, the Space Marine, puts us in mind of nihilist German philosopher...
Relic has once again gazed into the heart of the RPG and changed their single player RTS for the better. Throw in the whole host of new multiplayer content and you’ve got the best expansion we’ve played in a long time. If you’ve played a...

It’s games like this that make Relic one of the best PC developers operating today. When I reviewed the outstanding Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, my chief criticism of the campaign was the excessive repetition of simple “fight from point A to point...

Most real time strategy expansions follow a typical formula: they add at least one new faction, some new units, a handful of new maps and maybe some extra single-player content. While Chaos Rising, the new expansion for Relic's amazing Dawn of War II...
Truth be told, "growth" is a great way to describe Chaos Rising. The ideas first presented in Dawn of War II have been tended and nurtured to, in some cases quite literally, branch out for the player's benefit. Chaos Rising is a great first expansion...

Chaos Rising picks up where Dawn of War 2 left off, with the crisis of the Tyranid invasion held at bay for the moment. Trouble always seems to be around the corner, however, as the Rift spits out a new planet in the sector. Yes, that's right, an entir...

It opens with the boys back in town. Avitus, the intolerant heavy weapons guy, is entrenched within a bunker behind an all important command point. Cyrus, the philosophical scout, is cloaked and waiting in the wings. Tarkus, the grisly battle-hardened...

Expansion packs are fast becoming a thing of the past as DLC – Downloadable Content – becomes more and more popular, perhaps too much so seeing as how many games now feature ‘Day 1 DLC.’ This is unfortunate seeing as how the philosophy of a good expans...

Dawn of War II was one of the more under-appreciated games of 2009, and that's a shame. The shift from large-scale tactics to a smaller, more personal outlook was an interesting development for the genre, and it worked well because developer Relic did...

After the victory on Typhon, you might expect things to settle down a bit for the Blood Ravens. But if you did, you obviously don't know how things work in the world of Warhammer 40k. Before the dust has even settled on the last game, Relic's offering...
If you like Dawn of War II, you'll like Chaos Rising. All the great things about the core game are preserved here and the new Chaos Marines content is fantastic. The story's great, the twist is surprising, and the tactical choices are consistently...

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Chaos Rising is the first stand-alone expansion to Dawn of War II, 2009's popular real-time strategy/tactical role-playing game based on the Warhammer: 40,000 universe. Leaving core gameplay essentially unchanged, Cha...
Every bit as entertaining as Dawn of War II, Corruption mechanic lets you betray the false emperor, Chaos faction brings new "blood for the blood god", Abundant options for cooperative and competitive play, Cool new heroes reinvigorate Last Stand.
Corruption doesn't alter the story until the ending cutscene, Last Stand still limited to one map, Games for Windows Live still clumsy and inconvenient.
This excellent stand-alone expansion brings some much-needed Chaos to Dawn of War II...

I've always enjoyed the Dawn of War franchise. It's consistently featured some of the most innovative and rewarding real-time strategy combat ever, and -- just as importantly -- remained faithful to Warhammer 40K's tabletop lore. And from the groundbre...
Character import feature is awesome; new level cap and loot bring back the addiction; story as epic a Space Marine tale as ever.
Game offers few reasons to stay on the good side; very few side missions; online play still underwhelming.

It is a problem that has befuddled RTS developers for years: how do you create a compelling single-player campaign that's more than just a glorified multiplayer training manual? So many games, even now, don't even bother to try. Relic Entertainment, wi...

The graphics are pretty much what you've come to know from the original Dawn of War II without any significant improvements. There is lots of blood and gore along with great characters models that evoke the detail of the table-top game's models. The in...
