I dunno, I really liked the single player campaigns of Dawn of War 1 series, they were really excellent.

jolpis:

campaign in dow 2 rocks, but you can only play spacemarines :(. but its really awsome to see a devastator marine kill 100 orks. if you are at the right end of it =). the campaign is all about tyranids and the eldar that does anything to stop them, even “plant” orks to join them. at the first tyranid misson a superior captain gets killed, and pops up later in the game as a dreadenought!

your troops earn experience skills and gear witch is pretty fun to watch, they really got the super soldier message out =)

GRNDL:

Loved Dawn of War 1, absolutely hated 2. Its badly designed and poorly implemented, in my opinion. Since there aren’t many units in play at a time, the player should have more control than they do. In single player, there are about three different kinds of missions and they become very repetitive very quickly and offer very little challenge.

I really have no idea why they didn’t stick to the format of the first game.
