IGN Reviews – Warhammer 40K: Space Marine Game Review

46 Comments

1. I love this game, but it definitely doesn’t feel dark enough and it never really picks up. The action is just consistently moderate the whole time.

2. This is like a mature Buzz Lightyear video game

3. This game literally changed my life

4. People still play this on ps3 or is it dead ?

5. Hello there, i have some problem with my game the sound seems to stutter every time im in a battle, i know im asking in the wrong video but i've search all over youtube for this problem but came up with nothing (i know i should've search in google but i have an account problem it didn't signing in) so i search here instead. Thank you and have a nice day.

6. Neat.

7. It's like GOW crossed with Transformers gameplay, minus the driving around…

8. Superb single-player, nothing like it.

9. Better than Eternal Crusade

10. I never used a gun after wielding that thunder hammer in the game

11. Anyone else desperate for a sequel?

12. i bought this game today!

13. Cutscenes are skippable right?

14. Git gud

15. Is this like half Darksiders, half Gears of War?

16. >POLISH ISSUES
    They got a problem with Poland, then?

17. Space marine is my 3rd favourite game of all time
    (1st being Morrowind and the 2nd being Fallout 2)

18. I really liked this game.

19. It's so crazy how people have been accusing IGN of being out of touch and pandering with their reviews/coverage for years yet continue to visit the site and watch their videos. I have seen the same people in the comments sections months and years on end that do nothing but complain about how terrible IGN has become and how much they hate it. There are resources other than IGN for gaming news. If they suck so much, stop going to the damn site. People are pathetic.

20. ok guy look you can also regian heath with furey mode

21. The man character looks looks so buff. He Should have joined Gears

22. IGN has become so Crucial , and Commercial , and over the top Cliche , I cannot even take the reviews seriously or  for concideration . They have Zero perspective,   and the tone in their voices are blanch , and utterly boring …..

23. Of course it got a 7,5, they dint give you money to pay for anything better

24. stop playing consoles.
    This game lacks shit on pc.

25. i thought it said 2.5 at first and i was like holy shit

26. i just finished this game i loved it but its pretty short and the ending is not so good really good game tho 

27. They should make more games like this but with different storylines from other chapters like the blood angels, space wolves, or even the salamanders and have them fighting different foes like the tyranids or necrons.

28. Just finished this game.  It was fun and had some good gameplay mechanics set up that made each battle play out differently.   It was noticeable that you were basically killing the same enemies for almost the entire game, but the combinations and weapons you had made each fight interesting.  But at the end they take the route of sending you wave after wave of enemies and it starts to get repetitive.  I got this for like $15 and it was worth it.  

29. So is this worth a purchase? I love the Gears of War trilogy.

30. + True to Warhammer. <- Bullshite, this game contradicts WH40k lore heavily. No scitarii on forge world, as well as 0 techpriests, Inquisition considers EXTERMINATUS during simple ork invasion, ork slang is not used at all, and captain Titus would never get captains rank with Ultramarines in real 40k.

31. One of my friends bought this for me the week that it came out. And this week was the first week that i've actually been playing it. Its SOOOOO EFFING EPIC!!

    The guns are just uber, each gun has its own personality, same goes for the melee weapons. The Hammer, man what a hammer, favorite weapon in the whole game!! This is so much more than a lame as 7. The graphics where solid, solid sound, each bullet, melee attack, everything just pops out!! And the story was a nice strong story.

    There where a handful of sequences where i would have done something slightly different, but overall this game was an easy 9. An easy 9!!

    Its only 'let-down', if you can call it a let down is, is looks similar to Gears of War. And in that, one is naturally inclined to play it like that, but this is a different beast to gear, a completely different beast to gears. If you've not played it, give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.

32. THIS IS HERESY!!!

33. This need a sequel… 

34. The heresy of this review should be punished! Game is 9/10 best action game i played in long time!  Combat is brilliant and everything is brilliant, maybe too little freedom i would like someone to copy combat and everything from this game and just add open world or more open than this! 

35. ign reviews, some of the least helpful reviews of all time

36. I just got this game at Gamestoo for $10 bucks and its awesome! Its not the best game ever…but the graphics are gorgeous, there isnt any framerate issues and screen tearing(even when there were 30 orcs attacking me). The game just flows smoothly (I played the PS3 version). This game is simply the best mix Ive ever seen of hack n slash game and third person shooter. The guns are cool and you feel really powerful after the first 2 hours of game. Great game for $10!! Go get it!!

37. what i disliked about the campaign was the ending more or less, because if you played the game then you already know the ending so i do not have to tell you. but the ending was pretty shitty that you were accused of being a traitor to the emperor and the imperium of man kind, but to be fair you did take a power source from the warp to the face and all wondered why you weren't tainted by chaos. but it was a shitty ending my opinion but it was a good game none the less.

38. This review is heresy!

39. this game was a bore. When I was playing I was slowly going to sleep.

40. True to Warhammer? What? Space Marines must wear their helmets, Exterminatus  because of orcs. Not true to Warhammer.

41. Pretty on the mark. It wasn't great but it was true to the setting and a fun hack and slash

42. Yeah

43. Why do all orks british?

44. Why do I have a feeling that the first five minutes of ork slashing is the entire game? "space marines! kill em!" I'm sure that isn't repeated 10k times.

45. This is the first fucking time IGN have been right about a beautiful game! 🙂

46. Very good review. And I fully agree – it's way better then Gamespots review. Personally I find this game very addicting, so I close my eyes on cons. If you're a fan of the frenchise you can easly give this game 8.5 score.
