Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Xbox 360 Game (Retro Fam)

The story was cool and fun as a warhammer reader. It would have gotten 5 stars from me if it was a little less linear, and hsd a little bit more customization. The online play is less exiting as there is little to no strategy just kill away and be killed until you can level up and hopefully kill more and die less.

Loved this game. Pretty standard shoot-em-up fare, but true to the warhammer 40k universe. Took the time to admire the background art and subtle touches on the second play through. Hours of fun and plenty of gruesome hand to hand kills!

I recently downloaded this game, as it was offered for free to PS+ members, and I was pleasantly surprised with how much fun it was (I wasn't expecting too much, based on its seemingly goofy title). I have never heard of the Warhammer universe, so its setting is very novel to me- this is a sci-fi, intergalactic romp. But what makes it odd is that your enemies consist of an orc horde, summoning fantasy worlds to mind, particularly The Lord of the Rings. Where this game really shines is in the fun of pure, melee combat- cutting loose against the vast quantities of orcs that are bent upon your destruction. This reminded me strongly of "The Return of the King" for Xbox and PS2, a game that I loved and played several times through.Developer THQ did a great job with nailing the camera and character movement, creating a tight experience. Combat against your orc foes (the bulk of the game) is fast, visceral, and fun, with a well balanced mix of melee and ranged weapons. It must also be mentioned that the intro/tutorial/first level is masterfully executed, as you drop into the midst of a battle upon a ship.A cover system (I can't believe that's missing) and some sort of leveling process would have been welcome additions. The graphics aren't quite up to snuff with the indsutry's darlings of 3rd person games (Uncharted and Gears), but they are very competent, particularly with regard to how many enemies converge on the screen at one time. All in all, this is a fun, easy to pick up game.

I bought Spacemarine and Bulletstorm and like both games very much.Both games have good graphics and the action holds you to your seat.The price for each game was fair and i'm happy with my purchase. Good bloody fun. Ha Ha.

So much fun its like Gears with a button smashing..Its really cheapreally funand just awesomeBUY IT!!
