"Space Marine's brutal single player works just fine on the PS3, but the online matchmaking is so busted that it's clearly the weakest of the three platforms."

Just one of those games

The game is split about 50/50 between shooting and walking in a line. It's sort of strange how many rooms you walk through that are just empty. Sometimes (but not always) there's a little skull in the… Read more

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine

Many modern action games can be boiled down to male power fantasies, but “Warhammer 40K: Space Marine” takes virtual power tripping to a whole new level. Cast as the nine-foot-tall Ultramarine, Captai… Read more

I recommend it

Alot better than I expected. The combat system works well and there was enough diversity in the weapons that it kept me interested. It gets pretty overwhelming at times with the onslaught of enemies o… Read more

A big middle finger to Gears of War

Refreshingly old fashioned. Boldly simple. Confident in its own humility. Space Marine is a game without any confusion. It does exactly what it sets out to do and nothing more. Gamers looking for a fr… Read more

Space Marine muscles its way to success

*I wrote this review about a year ago so some game references are a little dated. When developer Relic first announced they were taking their long running successful series War Hammer 40,0000 universe… Read more

Seems like a great demo for a better game down the road

I've noticed the intimidatingly titled Warhammer 40,000 franchise here and there through most of my gaming life, but never was I really tempted to see what it was about until the Quick Look for Space… Read more

Intensely simple

Warhammer 49K Space Marine is one of those few games that you know going into it what you are getting out of it. I knew going into playing SM that I was going to be playing a gruesome third person sho… Read more

Hold On To Your Jumpjets Spayce Muhreen, It's One Hell of a Ride

It really feels like Relic set out to do one thing while developing this game: Make the player feel like the kind of hulking badass that is an Ultramarine. They drive this home with virtually every fi… Read more

Great but...

Chainswords, Space British, and Orks with a K. Those are a few things to expect when playing 40k Space Marine. You play as Titus captain of the Ultramarines, and wow your whole team just look so badas… Read more

I swear, if they say "Space Marine" one more time...

The Short Pros - Violent, bloody fun as a badass Space Marine from the Warhammer 40k universe - Strange mix of third person shooting and a heavy emphasis on melee combat actually works - Lack of a cov… Read more

Faithful to the Source Material.

I like shooters and action games, but not so much that I buy a ton of them. I just mix them into my usual array of RPGs and open world games. I got this game specifically because it was 40k. I'm a big… Read more

Nothing really stands out here.

It's really bland and generic to me. I'm clueless to the warhammer universe, but I've seen this kind of game before. Even the mechanics around it are decent at best. The story doesn't help it stand ou… Read more

Warhammer 40K Space Marine: For the Emperor.

Tedium redefined

In modern gaming there's simply no longer an excuse for games as woefully poor as Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine to exist. Developed by Relic - a developer known for their excellent real-time strategy… Read more

The Ballad of the Waddling Fridge Men

It's no secret that my relationship with the modern shooter scene isn't so hot. I absolutely loathe "modern warfare" games like Battlefield and Call of Duty , while I'll happily play cover-shooters li… Read more

A solid third person shooter

Space marine is a third person shooter based in the universe of warhammer 40k. You play as Captain Titus, an Ultramarine that leads a squad of other space marines in liberating a forge world from an o… Read more

Get yourself some Space Marine!

Making an established universe seem interesting to anyone that isn’t familiar with it is an essential box to tick when making a game based on it. If the universe doesn’t seem interesting then people a… Read more

"Warhammer 40k: Space Marine" Get Ready To Hear a British accent

Fun for Everyone, Awesome for 40K Fans

I had a ton of fun with this game - it looks good, plays well, sounds great, and moves right along. It's not mind-blowing or revolutionary, but it does have some nice additions to the third-person sho… Read more

The best non-rts Warhammer 40k game ever made

While not perfect in and of itself, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is by far one of the best video game entries into the twenty-four-year-old licensed property to date, bringing with it an incredibly… Read more

Short and Sweet

I have never been exposed to the world of Warhammer and Warhammer 40K before, apart from seeing the tabletop game being played or knowing about Dawn of War. Yet, I always found the world appealing , m… Read more

Brutal, bloody and millions of Orkz

I enjoy Warhammer 40,000 but only ever really got into the Dawn of War games. When Relic took a step back from RTS games and made a third person shooter I was less than enthusiastic. I'm pretty sick o… Read more

A Satisfying Experience

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is, as what might come to you as a shock, a game about Space Marines (as the Orks will most certainly remind you of numerous times). More specifically the game revolves… Read more

Making the Space Marine Cool Again

Warhammer 40K Space Marine has no right to be as much fun as it is. Every time I saw the game before its release, I couldn't help but find the premise generic and the gameplay redundant. Now the game… Read more

Grim, Dark, Great

Warhammer 40,000 . The venerable science-fantasy franchise, 25 years old and counting, finally receives a big-budget action game worth playing. However good that recommendation might be on it's own, t… Read more

Fun and Thoroughly Unfinished

Space Marine is a fun and thoroughly unfinished game. The entire experience is continually beset by visual problems, clipping, shoddy animation, awkward sound, and the general feeling that Relic had a… Read more

Total Carnage

I played this game through Onlive on the micro console. I can't compare graphics with any other version, as I don't own a xbox, ps3 or decent computer. If you are unfamiliar with Onlive, it is a cloud… Read more
