You main weapon is a chainsaw-sword and you have a variety of automatic guns. The violence is intense but the story is almost non-existent or just plain not memorable. With that said, I loved playing through the game and I would recommend anyone to try it out. Not worth the purchase though.
Truly satisfying to Warhammer 40k fans. The story isn't bad. Very gritty executions! The multiplayer is quite fun too. Give this a try, you won't regret it.
Once again, Relic delivers a beautiful title. Space Marine is as cinematic as it gets: from the tasty sound of your bolters to the satisfying, visceral glory of close combat, the game is true to its roots. Both 40K geeks like myself and complete novices to the universe risk to loose themselves in the game for hours if not days. Possibility of putting your chainsword through an Ork Nob's mouth in an execution; or dropping down a Powerhammer with a jump-pack in a middle of battle. A must-rent.
