    Space marine review

    So I wrote my review of Space Marine if anyone is still leaning on picking this game up.

    DEATH FROM ABOVE! Assault marines are the bestest thing since sliced ork.

    QFT. God but if I don't love the bolter above all else, although it's hilarious to plug someone with a bolt pistol.

    True Grit = tactical marine with the "jump pack and power axe" perk. Though, I don't think you could use Kraken rounds with True Grit, which was kinda meh.

    Overall, the game was pretty good. It was very pretty and with a fairly stable client, but I continue to dislike multi-player FPS/3PS games. Multi-player is in need of some balance corrections, but that's an easy enough fix. Having only random, P2P servers is probably a poor choice - seems like there's always that guy on the old phone-line modem who ends up hosting. Or maybe they're just in the UK, who knows. Single player was amusing, if short and extremely linear. The ending was kinda meh too; they set up fine for a sequal, but for $50 I was hoping to get more than 10 hours of storyline.

    that's pretty typical for a 3rd person shooter with Multiplayer (a la Gears 2, Rainbow 6 Vegas/Vegas 2). It's a two sitter as far as single player goes. Also, I liked the story for what it was. I think it would have been something you could have easily found in a Black Library quality level book. and it fits perfectly in the Grim-dark Mythos.

    yep... story was short and too the point. although it was not as good as the ultramarines movie... multi player is a blast.
