  • ive only played the first couple of levels, but i found the game quite repetetive so far. i hope it gets better as i play through

    

  • Why do all tps look awful. Fps have the best graphics, and I know what I am saying because I am an 3d artist.

  • Don't see why COD can be £40 on release and space marine doesn't live up to that standard apparently.

  • @awesomefilth COD is an established franchise, Space Marine isn't.

  • @awesomefilth because COD fans will eat any shit activision puts out with the acronym COD on it.

  • do you need steam 4 it on pc?

  • @DJ3602 Yes you need steam.

  • It's very repetitive, not very original, and is alot like gears of war without the cover system.

    The blood splatering violence is the only thing that's fun, and being a 40k fan just makes you biast.

  • A huge part of this game's target audience are 40k fans who know who the Ultramarines are, what a titan is, and how large scale the setting is. Why else did they barely give an explanation to anything in the story, such as who the Inquisition is, who's the Emperor, why the hell any of these guys are doing this kind of crap.

  • I just wish they had more enemies.

    The wh40k universe is HUGE but yet all the video games stick to the same overused orks and chaos.

    There is nothing wrong with that but I really wish the necrons or dark eldar could get more focus or if they have to use chaos at least give us more demons. I mean its not like they don't have dozens to pick from!

  • Spehss Mareens

  • meh i rather play as an ork damn it

  • @deadcool1000 kinda dumb if you can't. I agree 100% should be an ork story too

  • Death to the false emprah!

  • I just played the two separate parts of the demo and thought that the jet pack mission was a bit more exciting. But personally I would have thought the game would have been better if you were fighting those alien creatures. I can't remember what they are called but I would have loved to have been killing them rather than just your average run in the day ork...

  • @firemarkstudios Tyranids

  • I've not played it much, from what i've seen i quite liked it.

  • no this game don't suck ok i will start playing it now i was so laufing when you shoot the ork in the feet and you still shoot him in the head lol

  • This game sucks.

    

  • Come on give it a 7.5,but I still like gamespot

  • I am surprised that it isn't an 18 with all the blood and gore, but still, amazing game

  • 6 15 pink marine....

  • @Goldfarseer But logic wins in the end, doesn't it good sir...? Answer: OF COURSE! Hehe.

  • Comment removed

  • Stupid reviewer, it's WAAAAAGH! Not Waaaahhhaa.. -.-

  • Kevin is an idiot who most likely never even picked up dawn of war the original let alone any 40k game, I suspect he is a Stupid halo fanboy as well. stupid fuck.

  • @GovernorDerek You seem like a nice person and you make excellent, well reasoned points. I wish I knew you in real life so we could be friends.

    I too believe that someone can only render an accurate judgement on something if they make it the sole focus of their life while abandoning everything else. Well played, sir.

  • @LokiOwl What clever sarcasim!

  • @GovernorDerek Picked up on that, did you? :)

  • very very very good review well done

  • they should make a game where you play as a space marine scout (or a dlc)

  • why do you think it's called WARhammer?it's supposed to be a slaughter.,what did you expect?to play jump rope with orks and scrable with daemons?

  • okay bash the fact you clear out a room then move on gears does that almost ever game goes this only complain i had is there no animation when opening a door some times draw distance builds disappear and kill tanks are in the trailer but not in game last orks sound to human unlike in dawn of war. forget the reviewer this game is 10/10 and very addictive

  • lets go with Black Templar next time. I want to go on a crusade with my field marshal, champion, and fight against army of tyranids, eldar, tau, and orks.

  • Being looking at this game for a while not knowing wat it was about since i am new to the series so i went to Steam and got the DEMO wish i know is not like the full game but it gave me a basic idea to how to gameplay is. MY Verdict is this game is not worth more than 10 15 dollars.. NOT hating this is only my opinion. Yes it is repetitive but a lot of games are but this one had nothing appealing to me. Wont even be downloading the Torrent version. Play demo first before you buy.

  • It's fun bloody bolter porn. I didn't like any of the characters or care much for the story, but that's not why i bought the game.

  • My initial reaction to the demo was that it's a Gears clone because of the over the shoulder view and control scheme, as well as the bulky Space Marine and chainsaw(I know, Warhammer did it first). But that's where the similarities end. The gameplay is much more hack and slash than Gears and the melee is more fun.

  • @TheW4RP1G 40k came long before gears of bore

  • @SadisticReviews Yeah, that's what I said.

  • resembles gears of war too much

  • @Ph0be shut up ass hole

    

  • @AwsomeMan12345100 Fuck you, I am pointing out basic facts that people will want to consider when buying this game you stupid douche

  • @Ph0be

    Gears of War resembles 40k too much.

  • @Goldfarseer Gears of War is nothing like Warhammer.

  • @HatersGonnaHate1000

    I think you fail to see my logic.

    Original Post: "Resembles gears too much."

    Me: "Gears of War resembles 40k too much." - this was sarcasm.

    You: "Gears of War is nothing like Warhammer."

    Therefore:

    Warhammer is nothing like Gear of War. QED.'

    You confirmed my views. Thankyou.

  • @Goldfarseer wow....logic always wins, right?

  • @InnocentEvil109

    Logic always wins...

    Except in the world of 40k where the illogical runs rampant.

    :P

  • What were people expecting? Solve puzzles? Jeez, these guys don't understand Warhammer 40k at all

  • This game is ok, but the multi-player is very unbalanced with assault/raptors being so dominant that soon they will be the only loadout anyone actually plays. They need to make heavy wepon troops armor stronger and assult troopers armor weaker. So unless your a hardcore 40k fan who likes 2nd rate online play I would wait and buy a used copy in a few months after the price drops. 

  • @sobriquet1999 i disagree, when an assult raptor jumps he leaves himself open to attack from all enemies, that and they have weaker sheilds than the other classes. try rolling/jumping away from them when they attack you. they're very weak in their ranged weaponary.

  • Where do Space Marines keep all their ammo? Looks like they chew through it.

  • looks more like God of war 40.000 space marine

  • Cool i like warhammer 40000 Space marine

  • Perfect review, much better than IGN. but I would give it at least 7.5

  • Dont bother listening to all these reviews,where they moan about gliches and allkinds of BS,unless ur a programmer or something!

    This game,especially when ur a 40k fan kicks ass!!there is enough games where i can get forfulling plots and so on!If you wanna kick back and shut off to the outside,just to fuck some shit up,this is ur game,so i really dont see any gamelover overlooking this game!Games are reviewed like its the only game made and we gamers only play one!

    I do like gamespot though-)

  • im not getting this one, but Im getting the sequel, i find this one lacking considering the epic that is the warhammer 40k universe is

  • To be fair, it is the first visceral action experience for Warhammer 40k so it probably will get better in future games, in terms of game play versatility and a thicker plot...

  • @2010metalmaster im not saying you should go play it, but there was a little game called firewarrior. it was a fps where you played as tau (hence the name). the game was pretty aweful, but it tried lol.

  • this game was all wrong. it should be a sandbox battle field with mission objectives taking place on the field in real time and you must fight and find your way to them. the ground should be broken! wheres the trenches or craters or crumbling buildings. where do you make your last stand if theres no hills! wheres the martial prowess and pride? no block!!?? some marines are a thousand years old!! you think they got that way not knowing how to block?

  • dont like the character design

  • wtf are you talkin about?! i definetly wana see what happens next!

  • 69 people are orks

  • you know what gamespot your reviews are as dry of a piece of dead skin

  • I thought the story was quite good actually, and the variation is no concern for me.

  • If you like the mindless murder, then the game's great. I loved it. Nonstop slaughter, but still fun...

  • @TheWatzitooya Yap. If i'm mad or frustrated, i go into WH 40k: Space Marine and smash some orcs with my Thunder Hammer, and suddently, i feel a LOT better.

  • @TheWatzitooya FOR THE EMPRAH!

  • I only managed to get about 2 hours into the solo mode before i gave up on it.I should have known it was going to be a generic button mashing linear snorefest.Its just so linear they should gave you the jetpack from the start to make it fun and let you explore the world a bit narrow corridor games are fucking updated.Picture a game like this wish Skyrim type scope that would be epic

  • @nash3timemvp It was originally going to be an rpg.Now they regret making it a shooter.They extremely regret making it a shooter.

  • Aren't most games now all about "mindless killing"?

    Well thats w40k is all about, "mindless killing" of Aliens and heretics!

    I enjoyed this game my only criticism would be that it had too few execution animations, weapons and Xenos filth to kill!

  • Well i guess this sort of proved why originally making it an rpg would have been a better idea.But i think i will enjoy it though.

  • FUCK THAT

    a 7 really a 5 or 6.5 but a 7

    NO NO NO

    this game was irritating repetitive and while it has its moments there is so much wasted opportunity if they make a sequel, and thats a big if, do a better fucking job, dont listen to those crooks at GW and make a better fucking story

  • WHY IS THERE A COMERCIAL FOR MINECRAFT?!

  • A dry story------

    I'd beg to differ.

  • @NagisaxKaworu as would I

    there is no story you fucktard

    sorry still angry at this dumbass review

  • Looks crap doesn't make any since :P

  • looks crap

  • As long as it's better than the piece of shit Too Human I might try it

  • this game is one pound on onlive.

  • Give the game to the guys that made mass effect and you will see a big improvement ;)

  • @Partyffs And we'll also see it look EXACTLY like every other game Bioware makes.

  • Whats wrong with mindless murder?

  • @Marcusismify exactly

  • The enemies look like they were ripped from kameo

  • Warhammer is such underused IP. I mean imagine an RPG game made by Obsidian set in WH40k universe!

  • @OrdoMallius

    No no no not obsidian, Cdprojectred, bethesda or Bioware(preEA)

  • @Marcusismify

    bethesda? You mad? Stiff animations and generally shit story. CD project can do the actual game but Obsidian should be the writer.

    And BioWare? Are you kidding me? Those people went to shit.

  • @OrdoMallius

    Bioware Pre EA, Obsidian has gone to shit as well, did you even play Dungeon Siege III or alpha protocol? I am aware of bethesda's stiff animations, but the masses would eat it up just becuase its on cover. And storywise, they cant go wrong if Dan abbnet writes it for them.

  • @Marcusismify

    alpha protocol had a great story and choices. Pity it was so buggy but like I said Obsidian does the writing. As for Dungeon Siege 3 yeah that one is just pure shit in terms of gameplay I ignored it completely so I cant comment on the story but as for the game it wasnt dungeon siege.

    And for "masses would eat it up" ...are you trying to make a game that will sell good or a game that is actually good?

  • @OrdoMallius

    You are right, Im kind of torn between a really good game and it garnering the attention and money it deserves.

  • Just played the game last night, nothing fantastic, graphic looks

    like PS2 graphic, game play out of 10, i would say a 8.5. Göö

    Download Full Version FREE at click4games.co.cc

  • @bethan2248 ps2 graphics? are you jokeing?

  • @jimcoolfilms they look like the first gears graphics.. the graphics could have been much better for a new game lol

  • @strataxx um... no... they dont.

  • @jimcoolfilms dude its a spambot trying to get folks to go to its crappy pirate game/spyware distribution site, I must say its one of the more cunningly disguised ones Ive seen but it still pales in comparison to me. Im just a car insureance comparison website after all :P

  • i am a big 40k fan but this game didnt live up to the early trailers....

    p.s Bring the Blood ravens not the goody goody ultramarines

  • is this game any good for the pc ? i played trough the single player demo but i dont know if i should buy it if it has a dead pc playerbase

  • @MianeLoL Dead PC playerbase or not, it won't matter because the story is what makes this game so flipping awesome.

  • is this game any good on the pc with multiplayer ? i played the single player demo and i like it but i wont consider buying it if it has a dead pc playerbase

  • This game and Dead Island are my 2 favorite games of the year.

  • he said quick time event?

    im not buying the game anymore

  • Looks like a mix of Infamous 2 and Gears of War, both phenomenal games... I'LL TAKE IT!

  • its a mix of halo and gears

  • @808188123456789 Words cannot even begin to express just how astronomically stupid that statement was. Eveyone who has read it is now more stupid for having read it. May the Emperor have mercy on your soul heretic. Warhammer 40k predates Halo and Gears by a good 20 years.

  • @808188123456789

    How dare you insult gears! lol

  • @Bounding4miles i am not

  • List of WH40k stuff I want in coming sequels:

    Alternate Playable Chapters - Blood Angels, Space Wolves, etc.

    Bigger Arsenal - lets see a powerfist in action!

    Dreadnaught - that'd be a great ending if Titus dies and gets entombed in a Dreadnaught for a final battle

    More Armies - Dark Eldar, Tyranids, other chaos forces like Tzentch demons and Nurgle cultists

    New Allies - Catachan Jungle Fighters are high on the list as well as fighting alongside Ogryns

    Warpspace - a major starship battle

  • @SharkWhisperer1988 everything i could of thought of and more!

  • @SharkWhisperer1988 customisable marines? 

  • @SharkWhisperer1988 THQ said they aren't doing a sequel.

  • @EPICsliceOFcake really? Damnit I really liked this game. A sequel with a few improvements could be awesome. The combat in this game was a blasttt.

  • @godmathias A THQ executive said they probably won't do a sequel because it would compete with their 40k MMO, Dark Millennium Online, which is coming out in 2013. But executives often say things that turn out to be bullshit. So we'll have to see.

    I was really disappointed by this game because of the ULTRA linearity, frustrating firefights, and I thought the combat was kind of lame. The guns all feel kind of weak and the melee is kind of clunky. Kind of would like a sequel to improve on that.

  • @SharkWhisperer1988 I would love that too but i think that it is too much for 1 game :D Just give me power fists and claws,other legions,imperial guard,cover system and i would be a happy man !

  • That was a fair review, well done. Relic makes little attempt to out-do Starcraft or Gears of War, just reclaim lost ground (cough-chainsaw) it does excel at being WH40k all the way, true that. Lets hope that in the future, given this solid starting point, we'll see other armies and Space Marine chapters - fingers crossed for a Space Wolves vs. Tyranids game, though Ultramarines would have been the obvious choice there. Surely they wouldn't stick w/ a single chapter acros an entire trilogy...

  • @icefiredarksector748

    The game could have shaved-off an hour of Ork slaying, true; but no, repeat NO sci-fi franchise has more depth than twenty years of Warhammer 40k epicness!

  • I don't want to sound ignorant but. . .isn't this the kind of game set in the kind of universe where you just want to kill stuff? I mean, yes, there's nut much depth, but who cares? It's warhammer for goodness sakes. . .

  • @icefiredarksector748 Warhammer, the mindless slaughtering of TRILLIONS of enemies, just for fun :D

  • . . . .kill them allll. . . .

  • I actually thought this was a fair review. The game just feels too familiar if you have ever played Bayonetta, Castlevania, etc. This game is a hack and slash (w/ guns) that brings no variety to the genre. At least Bayonetta was eccentric and funny at times with a weird ass setting.

  • The game is shit, dissapointing, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone because it is so bland with little variety, you won't miss anything by buying it

  • @Seandevaney I disagree...if you were expecting a game like gears of war out of this then sure its dissapointing...but I didn't go into thinking that and I had a lot of fun with it....the balance of shooting/hack n slash is good...the only thing i do somewhat agree with you on is to not buy it...but its definately worth renting for 2 to 5 days depending on how much you enjoy the only gameplay...I'd recommend this game to anyone especially the casual gamer..."BUT RENT IT FIRST!" ;]

  • @Schneidyman09 Oh please, the game has what, 3 turret sections which last little time, you get the jetpack twice. The story is tacked on and not needed, I didn't care for my team mates. The online is not balanced with guns that kill you in 1 shot, or people who stun you with the jetpack and slash you to death. And what "1.8 Billion customisation options" well what that comes down to is 10 different shades of red. It's terribale, I wasn't looking for Gears of War, I was looking for fun.

  • @Schneidyman09 And that's not even mentioning the shitty health system

  • yay for mindless fun gonna go play the game now ^_^

  • Dont buy this game- its bugged beyond imagination, youll be lucky even to start it :P

  • man the space marines head look so small compered to there armour :D

  • gamespot can suck my dick

  • FUCKING PISSES ME OFF WHEN THE AD FUCKING FREEZES!!!

  • i want a power fist in a dlc!

    and i know everyone wants to bitch slap a hoe!

  • my god, he is fat...

  • Game is repetitive, but still fun as hell.. Glad I bought it...

  • That's stupid. You can boil any game down to shooting and slashing, its like saying COD is just run and shoot things and toss the occasional grenade, but millions still play it.

  • how long will people be playing this game for? i want it but dont have the money yet

  • never played warhammer but I might just collect money for this

  • I love warhammer but this game is buggy orks go through walls when you uses a special move you can see graphics far away just go away the orks say the same things over and over and you can see into the over space marine Armour but is fun as hell just wish more people from dawn of war was in this game

  • Shut the f*ck up...this games amazing and im not even a fan of Warhammer

  • bottomline: this game is garbage and the graphics are subpar

  • @TheDarcDefender ur mom is garbage and ur life is subpar

  • Comment removed

  • the most inappropriate music for AC:R

  • @tavi921 Was thinking same thing yesterday, such a great series deserves better music.

  • I have to agree a lot with this review. I was really excited when I saw the titan, oh how awesome it would be to fight alongside it or to even fucking control it. But it just shoots one gun and you're done. A lot of mindless slashing and shooting. also the story was pretty abysmal, the characters were bland and there was really nothing intresting about it. oh and fuck the ending

  • Anybody know what happened to the Dwarfs,Skaven, and the other races's?

  • 40K is about tactics, strategy and story; why do software developers overlook the obvious? We don't want mindless shooters

  • What else does he expect froma warhammer ggame but to butcher your way thru ENEMIES of all kinds ? Such a DICK did he want politics or economical play ?

     The story isnt that bad ... it's a typical space marine :D story

  • @Cobac Then the typical Space Marine story isn't so good. Still doesn't make a difference :p

  • They're kinda right 

  • ppl in the future must eat a ton of beef.

  • 5:04 WELL DUUH IF YOU WILL USE TITAN ON YOUR OWN YOU WILL BE CALLED HERETIC FOR USING SUPER WEAPONS WITHOUT PERMISSION!

  • is just me? or im paranoid, it Look like gears 3...

  • 7.0??

    thats awfully high for this game

  • I agree with the review that this game is mindless killing herds over and over again in each corner and each room. There's no good story in it. Heck they only put Orks and Chaos race to fight, but where's eldars and Tao race? Or all the other great races that Warhammer stands for.

  • @Sunbreaker7 Space marines are famous for fighting the Ork and Chaos, just like the Eldar fight the Necrons. I reckon its trying to keep within the lore of the space marines, perhaps a sequel would introduce new races?

    Also i think you have missed the point of the game, yeah its mindless killing.. But as Total Biscuit said "you feel like a badass" and i think it makes the game rather unique as not a lot of games give you that feeling. :)

  • @MrJackyg123 Well you make some valuable point there and I admire the way you describe it the gentle way than just attacking me right away with fan boy words and insults, which most do when their fafourite games are critizied. Anyway, I know that this game is not for me obviously, but maybe many others can enjoy it still.

  • @nasirnadhirV2 OR just didnt like the series :(
