For those who are familiar with Warhammer 40k world, the universe is made up of a couple of factions of clan like the ultramarine human, the corrupted chaos marine, the alien type genestealer, the alien+human Tao faction which has some kickass spell... and many more. This game only talk about the conflict between ultramarine and chaos marine, one is trying to get rid of the tainted stain and unholyness of the other
The game pits your normally 6 person team against a 20 - 30 opponent battle in a turn based strategy game. It has a bit of customizable factor as you are allowed to select different secondary weapon to each member of the team but due to the nature of the game (outnumbered in nearly every case), a decisive weapon is always preferred by me(e.g. One that uses more action point but deal more damage) ). And to make it better, you can save at any point of the game, making achieving perfect health possible. So this can be a 'feel good' game for the perfectionist, if you have the patience.
Its always nice to fire a rocket launcher into a mass of enemy, seeing the amount of destruction to both the environment and the pathetic marines, or walk up and chainsword or powerpunch your enemy to oblivion. After every mission, there is a short video clip to show the progress and the impact of the mission, and you will realize slowly the dark plot of the chaos marine. Overall its a short game even if you play the perfectionist route.
Gamespot gave it a 6.5 but I think its kind a harsh number. It would be more like 7.5 to 8.0 due to its nice graphic and OK plot. But seriously the enemy can be made a lot less and a lot tougher.
Good: Feel good game, good graphic
Bad: Strategy can be made better, story line not grand for a Warhammer 40K class
