The huge variety of races available does breathe new life into the franchise, though, not least because we were a little fed up with playing as Space Marines.
Yes, finally you can play as not just the over-exposed Space Marines, but also as the forces of Chaos, Eldar, Tyranids, Orks or the all new Imperium of Man. This time it’s been more ambitious than ever, and takes us back to sub-sector Aurelia with a whopping six different races with which to play the single player campaign. Not that Dawn of War developer Relic is too worried about Retribution, the third instalment of Dawn of War II’s Ork-smashing, Chaos stomping, Eldar-slicing over-arching storyline. Dreadful movies such as Terminator 3 or Jurassic Park 3 and games such as Doom 3 are prime examples it’s easy to slip into the rut of 'more, with bigger explosions/dinosaurs/demons' (delete as appropriate). The trilogy is a dangerous platform on which to develop any form of entertainment, the legacy of previous instalments often hanging heavily over the latest chapter.
