  • im not here for ghost rider...im here for bad *** space marienes

  • Don't get why everyone is complaining, I thought IGN brought up some pretty solid points.

    7.5 is a fair enough rating to be honest. This game is far from perfect, but still very good and a lot of fun!

  • It's really funny how any game that isn't call of duty has flaws........

  • The way IGN sees it: +Good graphics +Good gameplay +good multiplayer -Crappy story -Not call of duty The way I see it: +Realistic graphics +Good gameplay +Cool multiplayer +Awesome guns and weapons +YOU GET TO BE A SPACE MARINE BITCHEZ!!!!! +Good enough story +Isn't Call of duty (thankfully)
  • @michael2kirwin You're an idiot. Everyone always thinks that IGN loves CoD and rates games down because they aren't COD. Then why did Gears of War, Bioshock, Red Dead, GTA, Super Mario Galaxy AND Mass Effect ALL get higher scores than ANY CoD game? Grow up fanboy. This review is dead on, and this is coming from someone who's been playing the tabletop warhammer 40k for 7 years.

  • all you ever hear from the orks is SPACE MARINES

  • This game is awesome. the only problem is that it's the same thing over and over again. BUT THE GAMES STILL EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPIC

  • It looks good i mean they made a game franchise off of a board game but the only one ive played in the series is the rts dawn of war

  • just got this game

    , all I can say its fucking awesome

  • Who is the reviewer? A 13 year old little shithead? WHYYYYYYY?

  • Too many cutscenes? THERES ABOUT 7 IN THE WHOLE GAME INCLUDING AN INTRO AND EPILOGUE! If I had to give a complaint it would be the multiplayer!

  • Should i get this game or Far cry 2?

  • @sigurjongauti13 If your not planning on going online, you have a choice of either repetitive shooting (space marine) or repetitive fuck-I've-been-driving-across-­the-for-15-fucking-minutes-whe­n-do-get-to-fucking-kill-somet­hing (Far Cry 2)

    FYI: I picked Space Marine

  • @sigurjongauti13 this :)

  • This is the game I go to when I need something to pick me up from a bad day. Smashing an Orc's face in with a boot, or slicing them in half brings a smile to my face. Even with the little glitches that pop up it's still an entirely fun title. And now that it's cheap as chips to buy people should really grab it and give it a good play. But play it on hardest skill settings to feel like a true Space Marine!

  • today on green man gaming.com 12 bucks.. beats steams 17.50 sale... so get it on green man : )!

  • First outing of the franchise?

    REALLY!?! ¬_¬

    Fire warrior mean anything to you guys?

  • got it to day love it

  • 7.5 is a good rating but I'd give it a 8.5. I do agree with the cutscene issues and the fact that the campaign is shorter than most other games (probably the same length as Star Wars the Force Unleashed) But the game itself is a buy!!!

  • This game seems pretty original to me

  • Gay. The Ork War Boss was the only glimmer of badassidry in this whole game. I'd prefer to play as an ork. A defensive battle is so much more fun.

  • I think at least 8.0

  • I'm assuming this game is more popular in UK?

  • Played this game.

    Loved it.

    Gonna play again.

    Hail the Emperor!

  • @counterstriker500 Makes me want to play the RTS game but this game is AWESOME!!!!

  • boss fights just tend to be wave after wave of enemies. some are like 10 mins long, such as the last boss. overall...worth one time through, at least in my opinion.

  • As an Orc in Skyrim I find this game offensive, and by the way we prefer the name Orsimer.

  • @MrAdrianAslani Oh please is not like you are a fking Orc in real life or wait are you???

  • @IamRasmux lol just joking

  • @MrAdrianAslani DUde skyrim has nothing to do with Warhammer 40k. And I cannot honestly see what is so good about it... It's just an0other RPG.

  • @UlyssesWeber I was just joking but it isn't just another... nvm u wouldn't understand.

  • ive seen no trailer yet what is this idk what is tell me what this is

  • its a good game with an overall story that is satisfying, although at the end it left the story wide open, dont wanna wait another 3 years just for another one :/

  • do people still play the MP?

  • @megaluke31 a good amount of people play here in europe

  • @megaluke31

    It's not dead at least

  • I don't get the bad opinions, this game was actually very good and satisfying as hell. Very very fun to play

  • i brought it the day it came out :(.......FUCK

  • Warhammer 40K

    i would give it a 8.5

  • Comment removed

  • I agree with polish issues like excecuting something and he clips through the wall, and getting stuck sometimes. I never really noticed the pacing issue, though I can see how problematic it could be. My big issue is that multiplayer was meh and even the coop gets meh since its so damn hard in later waves. Imo a cod style spec ops mode would have made the multiplayer. Next game they should let us play in different chapters that finally the last sequence you get to play as titus again.

  • I like the execution moves system. It's way better than having regenerating health. Makes the game more interesting...

  • lmao my brother said they look like buzz lightyear

  • on sale at GMG

  • I really wish we'd get a serious dark 40k game. every game I've played so far has been kinda corny esp when inept chaos or orks turn up. I mean it's supposed to be ott but there should still be a lot of weight to it. i think a cinematic fps/rpg would be the best way to stay true to the fluff

  • @User89620 i agree, although this is a lot darker than previous warhammer games. its a step in the right direction

  • Comparing Space Marines to Gears of War?

    That's like comparing Lord of the Rings to Eregon.

  • IGN, your reviews make LOL when it comes to games like this

  • ign reviews are a joke

  • @MarineCARMINE I know right? If it isn't CoD or some other highly overpopular game out there, it sucks according to IGN

  • Got this full price, finished singleplayer in 2 days, got to maxlvl in multy in a week and now its on a shelf for months -.-

  • these are not reviews there opinions!

  • @EricBaxter1 dude, these are reviews. Everything he says about the game I've experienced as well. The biggest issue is trying to regain health when you are in danger of being killed by somebody else during the execution. It's annoying as hell, but this game was amazing. I'd have given it an eight, but 7.5 is still good.

  • ok soooo the troops have heavy ass helmets but the captains don`t ?

  • @TheS2pidmuffin Badasses don't need helmets.

  • gt mine when it came out for £50 :((((((((

  • got mine for $10 =)

  • @xdbuix me too with a printed $20 off coupon ;)

  • i dont get it either thr r 2 many enemies on the screen or thr is not enough. 2 many and the game gets repetitive or boring, to little and it feels like a waste of time :{

  • @Salvation10229 apart from this a great review :)

    

  • i bought this and skyrim today,enjoyed skyrim for 1 hour and then i got bored as hell.....i played this game for 4 hours and i loved it so much for me it's a 8.5 or higher...mery christmas to all

  • @ervin571 you are so right except from skyrim its boring as hell at the beginning but later on it is SICK!

  • Speaking about too many cutscenes. I played this game the other day called Kingdom Hearts. Literally every door you went in triggered a cutscene! And the game wasnt even all that fun!

  • @xItzSubzerox dislike if you didn't? anyways added to my steam wishlist in case I ever win and if I dont win I can buy it later ;)

  • I didint like the demo but I might try it again?

  • the multi-player in this game reminds me of lost planet, the single player is pretty good, I paid $23 for it, but I think I should paid like $15 though

  • things to note. Relic = Strategy game company. Warhammer 40k Space Marine = TPS close combat game. Relic did Space Marine. First Time. Impressive enough?

  • Actually I think it's a cockney accent not an Australian accent mrawesome

  • Why so many dislikes?

  • So far, dawn of war has been the best of the warhammer games to exist. However, dark millennium still has to come out...

  • Thats right, give the bad guys an Australian accent.

  • Really at the end of the day, it's a fanboy game...

  • too cartoony

  • i give it a 7.5 i LOVED THE STORY, no really, it was good. not to mention the fact that it made you feel like a badass stomping around with the agility of a merecat but the strength of an ox, this is feeling no other games can present, eg assasins creed your only agile, not an overpowering screen shaking strength ridden badass. that and the multiplayer was a blast, played approx 25 hours of mutiplayer. not to mention that i am a wargamer, and probs enjoyed this more than the average joe would.

  • @darkentity1000

    Actually the gears of wars series was inspired by this because space marine 40k series have been around much longer. Just a heads up so you don't get trolled later on.

  • This game really is as pathetic as the review says. It's just awful

  • @HiralShah00 Well, don't play it, then

  • I give this game a 8.5, because there aren't as many cut scenes as he says there is.

  • @chewslowly Mind sharing the name? I don't know what game you're referring to, but it sounds fun.

  • @bbad891 Space Hulk. There was a computer game version of it too, I had it on the Sega Saturn and the PC.

  • Super human? You mean Demi god.

  • @zoidberg96913 No, he means super human

  • i loved it

  • looks like gears mixed with that wolverine game

  • it's a shame the multiplayer didnt have more races however, since the many varying races of warhammer have always been the appealing side of the franchise

  • @chewslowly You mean like the 7 Dawn of War games they've released over the last 7 years?

  • The only prob I find with this game is that I had to play as Ultramarine.

  • Wasted 60 bucks on this peice of crap. T_T

  • FOR THE EMPEROR!

  • looks like gears of war :/

  • @vosvenieks4EVER HERETIC!!! 40k has been around since 1987! We invented the Giant Space Marine in Huge Armour With a Chainsword! Gears is a cheap knock off of Warhammer 40k!

  • @SinDawg030 ok im sorry i was just remarking that the VIDEO GAME looks like gears of war. CALM UR VIRGINITY.

  • @SinDawg030 HOW? I've been playing Warhammer for years, but Gears of War is my favorite series. Am I the ONLY one who sees little to no similarities between the COG and marines? A marine is like two feet taller than a COG soldier. Their armor and weapons are nothing alike. And one lives in a shattered world that they're trapped on, while the other has an empire that spans the galaxies. WHERE are the similarities everyone's seeing?

  • @Arkaeya The Gothic Architecture and the Chainsaws are the two worst offenders. 

  • @SinDawg030 But the Gears architecture is more Greek and Roman than Gothic. And they only use chainsaw bayonets as opposed to a chainsword. I could understand if they used a chainsword in Gears as well but they don't.

  • @Arkaeya Greco-Roman architecture crops up alot in Warhammer 40k. The Iron Snakes and Ultramarines Space Marine Chapters for instance take alot of visual style and cultural similarity from the ancient Greeks and Romans. Other worlds and cultures of the Imperium outside of Ithaka and Macragge also use alot of ancient inspired architecture.

  • @SinDawg030 But then Gears wouldn't necessarily be copying warhammer. Both chose to draw their architecture from the Greek/Roman period, which was a very inspiring and famous point in time.

  • @Arkaeya The point of 40k's Architecture is to combine ancient grandeur with sci fi grittiness. Take Forge World Graia for example. It is essentially a planet sized Temple to the Adeptus Mechanicus' Machine God. Manufactorum Ajakis is as humbling and awe inspiring as any ancient temple but its purpose is the construction of God Machines capable of levelling continents. I felt the Ancient/Sci fi feel that is very unique to 40k as soon as I played Gears of War 1/2 especially in Ephyra and Jacinto.

  • This game looks great and fun

    if someone has the game please PM me and tell me if its worth it and if the multiplayer is really fun or just gets old after a while.

  • @PeaceJaime123 Multiplayer is real fun, you can be Tactical, Assault, or Devastator. in the single player campaign you will love to do executions

  • ONLY GOOD! this game is BEAST!

  • wtf is diz ???

  • Didn't titus get killed and was then replaced by uriel ventris

  • THQ / Relic really fucked the fans lol join the forums and take part of the extreme ranting.

  • @gordanfreeman5 i cant wait

  • Comment removed

  • 1 MORE DAY

    till MW3

  • @legogamer12 4 more till skyrim!!!!

  • I love this game, I'm actually doing a play-through on my channel now! ha ha

  • Technical issues? I found none on pc and it hasn't even been patched on mine

  • It is the original action game get it right

  • i hate it when people say this is a rip off of gears of war.

    its just another title to the genre.

    is dead space a rip pf of gears? NO

  • @Gamingformonkeys Who said that??? It doesn't even look close to GoW. It's closer to Ninja Gaiden or Dynasty Warriors than GoW. There isn't even cover shooting in this game.

  • @XinBiDe no one said it but dead space is another third person game.im making a point that people cant just discard it because they think its a gears of war rip of when its generaly just another TPS, also theres no cover shooying in the game because they are space marines. they ar walking cover.

  • @XinBiDe

    why would cover shooting be necessary?

  • Comment removed

  • No one said it was. Relax.

  • OMG OMG OMG!!!

    11 days left till AC revelations!!

  • Graphics look PS2-ish

  • @nogin8000 Stop what you're doing. Watch this video in HD. Look at other screenshots. Go look at a God of War 2 or something like that video from the PS2. Eat your words and never post here again.

  • @XinBiDe Umm..............No.... Maybe "PS2-ish" was exaggerating.......But I just meant this game's graphics don't seem to keep up with the standard of graphic detail that todays' PS3 games have......... But then again I might not know till i see it up close.......(Mabybe it's the color shading)........ nd btw don't try an tell me what to do [Go eat your aunt's genitals when u finish reading this]

  • @nogin8000 I thought I made myself clear, idiot.

  • @XinBiDe It must be difficult to compare God of War with this game, just have fun with it, and the warhammer 40k's universe is extensive. take a look to Warhammer 40k wiki

  • @MrCasquitos You missed the first post. The guy said these graphics look like PS2 graphics. I said he should look at games like God of War 2 on the PS2, games that were considered to have great graphics at the time, and realize that his statement wasn't even close to true. In fact, this game's visuals are quite good, though indeed not groundbreaking by any means.

  • SPEHS MAHREEENS!!!

  • Actually the cuts scenes are far and in between. I remember one gaming session going longer than plan because I wanted to get to the next cutscene. Also they don't interrupt the flow of the game, instead they do a good job of delivering context for the game (as all good cutscene must).

    Great game and if you are a fan of 40k you will love it.

    P.S.:Any WH40K fan has to admit that Captain Titus is the nicest Ultramarine that ever existed!

  • THIS IS A AWESOME GAME WHATCHU TALKING BOUT WILLIS THIS SHOULD BE A 9.5. Oh well lol :P

  • 1. Play on hard difficulty.

    2. Don't like cutscenes? really?

  • Stick with the tabletop, I wouldn't buy this game

  • This game has a lot of issues, for ps3 the mp didn't work for weeks on release, for xbox the dlc has been majorly delayed, and at least in Australia the mp can be laggy and unpredictable. I don't regret buying this, but I really wish thq had taken a note out of naughty dogs book and published a really polished and flawless game :(

  • @Wellaboveswell Its ment to be a pc game get that inur head

  • it sucks!

  • Comment removed

  • helmets are for posers

  • wow - 5 inch thick armor and no helmets...

  • @smilesthroughtheshit Space Marine Captains like Titus get access to special wargear called the Iron Halo that is essentially a forcefield for the head. Leandros starts the game with a helmet but it gets damaged and he has to remove it. Sidonus doesn't wear a helmet because he is badass, same goes for Titus. Its also to taunt the enemy and to distinguish the leaders of the Space Marines in battle to their own men just like in the Middle Ages. Its just that the Space Marines are that badass.

  • @smilesthroughtheshit

    same in gears of war

  • @Kamfrenchie do you know what a game engine is? there is your answer

  • @MrCasquitos

    which of my post were you replying at? Don't remember one that could call for such an answer.

  • @smilesthroughtheshit 6 inch thick armour

  • @smilesthroughtheshit Most Space Marines have helmets. Captains like Titus forgoe helmets in order to mark themselves out to their enemies and have a forcefield for their heads called an Iron Halo.

  • @smilesthroughtheshit wait there are helmets 0:51 but your right around the whole thing anyway :P

  • remember back when the game scale wasnt 8-10? those 1-7 numbers that remain on strange, archaic reviews for good games from an ancient bygone age?

    no? didn't think so. A 7 is vile heresy in todays journalism climate is it not?

  • I was gonna buy this but it looks repetitiveand boringkinda like dynasty warrios not for me

  • @Loikeodkoekodk You should buy it it's cool :D. I almost finished it and i really like it(sync kills are awesome,every wep has 2 different ones and 1 general for all of them,sync kills are different for orcs,chaos and demons), a lot of melee and ranged weapons(from bolt pistol to storm bolter and plasma gun) and the story is good too !

  • guys, a 7.5 isn't that bad

  • Although Warhammer 40k is a classic line of games and stories, I saw this comin the same way you can with a Disney straight-to-DVD-movie...

  • I have this game, im not even a warhammer fan but its still fucking awesome!

  • this review reviewed the game wrong... the cutscenes are good, and they are their for good reason, to direct the play, and give a scence of acheivement. he mentioned all sorts of problems and bugs, the only one i have is when im walking along and thier is some tiny peaice of cover and i can get past it since thier is no just....only a jump pack that sends me right into the sky, i noticed no polishing issues.... the only problem is the way you heal... thats it.

  • SPEHS

  • Lol, if you don't like CoD thats fine, I hate it as well, but to whine about how they always give it a 10/10 and give other "unique" games lower scores, is just sad...I think they did a solid review of this game, I like it a lot, but the combat gets repetitive, the graphics/gameplay bug up a bit, and once you hit level 41 in multiplayer, theirs not much left to do...that should change this tuesday with Exterminatus DLC though :)

  • the graphics on this game are crap, enough said

  • @lightninglj get a pc dick

  • FUCK YOU IGN!! LETS SEE THE CALL OF DUTY MW3 REVIEW 50000 OUT OF 10?? MUCHHH!!!!! FUCK OFFF

  • Why the fuck is everyone calling the Exterminatus mode survival? It's fucking EXTARMINATUS. Meaning you're killing the aliens, not trying to survive them.

  • This rating is heretical! You be a heretic reviewing person guy.

  • the next patch with survival will be nice.

  • I agree.

  • I just don't get IGN. They gripe endlessly about tiny details of good, well-developed games that satisfy gamers, and then turn around and give good reviews to games that even THEY admit aren't nearly as good as they should be.

  • Comment removed

  • literally 7.5? I object!!!

  • in thes damn reviews thay focus on the small shit and it piss me off

  • Lol

  • It turns guys with tiny heads in to the hulk while still having a tiny head.

    they look so retarded

  • Its because they compare it to Gears of War.

    Fact: Warhammer 40k was around before Epic Games visioned Unreal Tournament and Gears of War...

  • and so ends the warhammer series

  • I honestly don't see any issues with things stuck in the environment, as for open areas with no enemies its meant to build up the awe of the world. Next time I hope they pick someone who will take their time before reviewing a game.

  • wtf IGN? You suck! Not original? What about all the shooters you give game of the year to?! What about Call of duty? Is that original? They just ripped of DOOM and put new graphics in it! Don't review games if you don't like the genre!

  • @roslolian11 It's their opinion. Calm down.
