Warhammer 40000: Space Marine is a good reintroduction to the Warhammer 40000 franchise for console gamers after the less than optimal Fire Warrior, and while it’s not a flawless product, all things considered, it’s basically a miracle of a game all t...

The action is extremely intense, and bloody, The variety of weapons means you'll be making a lot of choices on what to pick up and what to leave behind, Great voice acting and a story that could be ripped from one of the Warhammer 40k novels...
Very much a button masher, so it won't be for everyone, The multiplayer could use some work, In order to fully enjoy the game you'll need to know the background...
