Werhammer Ferty-k: Sperce Marine Review


Warhammer 40k:
Space Marine


 Blood, guts, guns,cuts get ready to cut all the way through the spleen, cause this reviews about WARHAMMER 40K SPACE MARINE!

    Set in the Warhammer 40k universe, space marine has you defending the forge planet Graia, from incoming waves of pesky alien orks as you take control of Captain Titus as he attempts to beat back the overwhelming odds and hold key locations ready for reinforcements.

    Captain Titus is 2nd company commander of the ultra marines, super human troopers, trained to be the best and clad in weighty power armour, wielding the most brutal of weapons you are a powerhouse and boy does it feel like it.

   


      Shots from your weapons explode once inside foes causing bursting blood fountains all over the place and once you get that chain-sword you are just begging to be thrown into the action only to leave caked in ork blood. 
  
   Is there a cover system? You ask, NO I say. I am not a baby, I think I can hide behind cover without being clamped onto it like a baby koala. No health packs either, if you're going to grab health you've gotta get in quick and dismember some orks but don't worry though finish off a stunned stray and you're health has already filled half-way.

  When entering the war-zone you are greeted by the drums of battle, explosion after explosion in the distant remind you that this isn't some small scale battle this is all out war. These explosions don't just occur in the distance though, oh no you can end up stumbling across on going off resulting in white noise which is a nice touch I find.
  During the cut-scenes background music appropriately sets the mood, giving dialogue more oomph than in other third-person shooters.

  The graphics are used in an exaggerated style, having disproportionate bodies some with giant heads others with giant torsos and so on. The actual graphic fidelity is well done, no excessively blurry textures that I have found so far.


 
  Now it's nice to know the assets aren't horrific but the question we are really interested in is, how fun is it? The answer to that readers is YES, GOD YES AND MORE YES. With slow motion decapitations, exploding alien skulls, rage mode debauchery you are in for one hell of a ride. In which convoluted universe is stomping around, smashing puny orks around in a giant suit of armour like a juggernaut not fun?


   The re-playability comes in the form of just being able to walk around wrecking people left, right and centre with an insight into a much larger universe full of strife and awesome.

Don't worry we'll wait for you..... 
Done? Good. Looks like I'm not needed any-more does it. I'm off then, cheerio!
