The occupation 'Space Marine' is thrown around so much on our consoles nowadays that the career is practically the future's equivalent of 'Shoe Sales Assistant'. That's not to say their career path is incredibly uninteresting, it just kind of takes t...
Nice blend of melee combat and shooter action, Nice story and characters, Plenty of online unlockables...
Doesn't throw up too many surprises and ends up rather linear, Lack of variety in enemies, Some stocky animations constantly tip battles out of your favour, Only two multi-player modes...

Published September 16th 2011. Written by Owen Grieve. To virgin eyes, Space Marine must look like a very generic sci-fi adventure game. A lone space marine – whose job is literally titled ‘Space Marine’ – spearheads an attack against an invading alien...

For a universe that features giant guns, futuristic orks, tyrannic empires, and a bucketload of bloodshed, I always thought the world of Warhammer 40k never got the video games it deserved. Then I remember titles like Dawn of War and mutter some kind o...

The Gears of Wa r boys have had it their own way for too long, swanning around as if mile wide shoulder blades and carving aliens into giblets was their idea. This is Warhammer 40K , and the original space marines want their chainsaws back.Space Marine...

Everything I know about the franchise can be summed up into three bullet points:1.) It’s a turn based strategy game featuring orcs and humans fighting in space,2.) Everyone from Blizzard to Epic has ripped it off in some form or another, and3.) I woul...
Warhammer 40000: Space Marine is a good reintroduction to the Warhammer 40000 franchise for console gamers after the less than optimal Fire Warrior, and while it’s not a flawless product, all things considered, it’s basically a miracle of a game all t...

When the idea of a space marine is presented, there are many images that might fill our minds. Space marines have been warriors that have manifested in popular movies, literature, tabletop games, graphic novels, and video games. When someone says the...
Overall, things could have been a whole lot better with Space Marine, but that doesnt mean its totally lost or broken. Mostly the letdowns are seen by the fan who knows more than the game allows a player to see, and the rest of the disappointments ar...

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...
Space Marine may stumble here and there, but manages to remain entertaining from start to finish. For every moment where a character gets stuck on part of the environment, has an animation that breaks, or just randomly pops into the world, I’m left rem...

Rating:There's a large chunk of younger gamers that I'm sure will look at a Warhammer 40k game, and wonder why it looks like a hodgepodge of just about every other sci-fi game out there. They don't realize that Warhammer has been around forever, and has h...
The action is extremely intense, and bloody, The variety of weapons means you'll be making a lot of choices on what to pick up and what to leave behind, Great voice acting and a story that could be ripped from one of the Warhammer 40k novels...
Very much a button masher, so it won't be for everyone, The multiplayer could use some work, In order to fully enjoy the game you'll need to know the background...
