Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

There are a few good points about this game, but they are all overwritten by the bad. The pacing of the combat is amazing. Just when you start to breeze through your enemies, and begin to think the game may be too easy they throw a hundred enemies at you at once and really test your gaming skills. The jet pack sequences make you feel like Superman, and are by far the funnest sequences in the game.

The worst offender of the game is probably the story. The characters have absolutely no depth. You don't get a feel for any of them, and it makes you simply just not care. The game has a twist halfway through (which game doesn't nowadays), but it is so obvious I don't even know if it counts as a twist. There is also a problem with the controls not always responding. Sometimes I would hold down the trigger buttons to either be shooting or aiming or both, and your character would simply stop doing those things.

If this game had come out in July or something it would have been a much better recommendation, but with it only coming out three weeks before Gears 3 it's not worth it. Unless you are a huge fan of the Warhammer 40k universe or the third person shooter genre just rent Gears instead.
