Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is a game, unfortunately

AWESOMEoutof10 writer Fraser Brown finally gets round to playing Warhammer 40K: Space Marine. It makes him see red, not just because of all the blood.

wow what a weird article. Theres so many other games that might fit his descriptions and even then this is excessive. Space Marine is a great game thats good old fun it reminded me of how I loved last gens simplicity. It seems hes trying to quit smoking which might be a reason for this which is stupid and unprofessional. In the end never mind this rant or "fit" if I may because Space marine is a great game...

In this day and age of imitation cover shooters, Space Marine eschews all of that in favor of faithfulness to the canon as players are encouraged to wade into the enemy shooting and hewing down a horde. Dawn of War players readily see an iconic creation brought to life with remarkable voice work by the actor Mark Strong.

I have to agree. This poor writing attempt could have used a few dozen nicotine patches.

Unfortunately you are correct about one thing, this rant can be applied to a worryingly large number of inexplicably popular horribly dull games.

[mafiahajeri]

I agree but Space marine isnt one of those games by a longshot. Also its not that popular if anything I would call it a hidden gem or sleeper hit much like Transformers war for cybertron but each to his own I guess.

Loved this game, I have no idea what he' talking about.

Me too, sure its not the greatest game ever made but it didn't claim to be.

It is good old school fun imo, and the high level of violence also helps :)

I thought it had a Darksiders feel to it but a shooter.. Decent game. I'd say 7/10.

Space marine was a little brown and the mutiplayer sufferred a fair amount of lag... but my god was it fun. I picked it up new for a tenner and played the crap out of it. With a bit of polish it could be an excellent game.

This game is the definition of repetitive.

[bumnut]

Most games are repetitive. Especially this gen, most games feel the same.

I am close to beating this one. If I knew how good it was I would have bought it a long time ago at release, with DLC.

Thank god for Steam and the deals!
