The Warhammer series has been the subject of several games for decades now, but Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is probably one of the most anticipated. And it's a pleasure to say this installment doesn't disappoint, for the most part.

Space marines have become a bit of an industry cliché. You know the ones - blokes in big power suits armed with guns the size of an armchair, often slightly balding and they always speak in gruff, serious voices while scowling.

"As our bodies are armoured with Adamantium, our souls are protected with our loyalty. As our bolters are charged with death for the Emperor's enemies, our thoughts are charged with his wisdom. As our ranks advance, so does our devotion, for are we not Marines?

The Warhammer 40,000 universe is one steeped in rich history and diverse, colourful storylines set in the far future, filled with a host of rather angry factions bent on destroying one another.

Glorious close-combat; Epic scale; Superb sound and music

Linear to the point of being patronising; Buggy controls; Story has a hint of cheese to it

The game is similar to Gears of war. The gameplay is fun and story is not that exceptional. Its a one time play, didn't check its online functionality perhaps its disabled now that THQ is out of business. But worth trying for its price and good gameplay.
