Review date: 11 October, 2011. Review by: Martyn Clayden Fancy playing as a steroid-enhanced muscle mountain of a hardass soldier that makes Arnie look like a wimp and use some state-of-the-art firepower to take on hordes of monstrous aliens? Well, ma...
Great attention to detail in characters and settings...
Repetitive killing in the middle stages of the game.
A bit like the hero Titus that you play, Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine is simple, straight forward and uncompromising - just load up your weapons, wade into a sea of Orks and destroy all comers as bloodily as possible...

The Warhammer series has been around for decades, but this latest iteration fails to continue the proud tradition in any meaningful way...
Captures the scale of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Visceral melee combat is immediately engaging. A huge suite of character customisation options in multiplayer.
Combat quickly becomes repetitive and can even prove frustrating. Predictable characterisation. Linear plot and linear level design.

In the 41st Century, the only thing standing between the Imperium of Man and the approaching Xeno threat are the Space Marines, genetically enhanced superhuman warriors that form the heart of the Warhammer 40,000 (40K) universe. As Ultramarine Captain...

The greatest strength of Space Marine is that it does such a great job of bringing the Warhammer 40,000 universe to life. Like Games Workshop’s dark future RPG and wargames, it presents a brutal, dystopian and ludicrously violent sci-fi world, in which...
Good mix of big guns and brutal melee combat, Superb rendition of the Warhammer 40,000 universe...
Action grows repetitive with too little variation, Stretches of dull scenery and uninspiring set-pieces...
There’s little truly original about Space Marine, and pacing and repetition hold it back, but it’s hard to deny the appeal of smashing orks to bloody chunks as an armoured walking tank. Add one - heck, two - to the score if you’re a fan...

Videogames owe Games Workshop more than they're ever likely to admit - the archetype of the power-armoured sci-fi man-mountain has at least some of its origins in decades-old tabletop game Warhammer 40,000 (aka 40K). It's taken an awfully long time, bu...
Space Marine lays some excellent ground work for a Warhammer 40,000 shooter and offers some of gaming's most spectacular fights. It's too thin on the content to feel like the definitive 40K action game, however...

Take two staple ingredients of fantasy and science fiction, namely orks and space respectively, mix in a ten foot super soldier named Titus and some bone-crushing, brutally satisfying combat with both melee weapons and guns, and you have Warhammer 40 0...

Expert Review Developer: Publisher: Genre: Action Third-Person ShooterPrice: Rs 550 ()The Warhammer 40,000 universe is a perplexing construct. It houses a legion of extraterrestrial races, astute gods of , hideous daemons, superhumans, and parallel...
Gratifying combat and bloodshed; Interesting storyline; Wide array of weapons; Well-crafted graphics; Superior audio production; Captain Titus' voice acting.
Relentless need to unleash finishing moves to gain health; Somewhat linear environments; Brief campaign; Average dialogue; Occasional camera hiccups.

lets you deal death to the enemies of the Imperium of Man in glorious, bloody battle. MORE DAKKA: Sometimes, the solution to a Space Marine's problems is to bring out the big guns. No, wait, that's always the solution. SPACE marines are a pretty we...
Good brawler/shooting combination; immersive Warhammer 40,000 universe.
Nothing really innovative in the gameplay; mostly only appeals to established fans.
If you want an objective opinion from us, here it is: Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is a good game, but unless you're a big fan, we wouldn't say that it's a great game. The brawler/shooter mechanics are solid and enjoyable, but the game doesn't reall...

The Warhammer 40K universe is ripe with concepts for an action game but no-one has really ever managed to do it justice. Relic is the only studio to manage to turn the Games Workshop's pessimistic vision of the 42st millenium into a viable and enjoyabl...

I have enjoyed the Warhammer 40k universe for more than 15 years now. There is just something about the dark and gritty, humanity on the brink of destruction, there is only war atmosphere. Of course, the ancient-yet-super-advanced technology, super-eng...
Warhammer: TraitorWhile overall I enjoyed the game, there were a few glaring issues I found while playing.As mentioned, the button mashing gameplay did lead to very repetitious encounters with chains of hit, stun, execute turn; hit, stun, execute, turn...

Space Marines in the universe are awesome. They’re stronger than normal humans, better armed and more armored than regular soldiers. They also border on immortal since they age far slower than normal humans and are far harder to kill. Yet, when you ge...
simple controls, story is pretty good, gorgeous visuals, solid RPG-style multiplayer, high level of customization in the multiplayer...
Hit detection can go weird, Chaos really just seems kind of tacked on in the story, very linear and ultramarines again.

War, death, and demons are just a way of life in the Warhammer 40k universe. It's a crappy place to live, but makes an awesome setting for the third-person action game, Space Marine. Developer Relic Entertainment does the 40k franchise justice, telling...

If you're a Warhammer 40K fan, you've dreamed of taking up a chainsword and carving Orks into bloody chunks of flesh and bone. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine plants you in the heavy boots of an Ultramarine and lets you do just that. The viscera fly in...
Captures the brutality of the Warhammer 40K universe, Entertaining mix of shooting and melee action, It's fun to don a jump pack and stomp on Orks.
The mindless slaughter lacks variety, Dull story, dull characters, Lame final boss.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is on the shallow side, but it still serves up plenty of "waaagh!"...

THQ has been churning out Warhammer 40K titles at the rate of one per year since 2003. And even though many of these titles were well received by the community, nearly all of them have been relegated to the RTS genre. But with Warhammer 40,000: Space M...
