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.
