You guys are missing the point entirely.

Space marine is original enough to not a be a clone of anything, but its impossible to not see some similarities between gears and god of war, and the similarities are pretty much 3rd person guy kicking ass...

Where are you guys getting god of war from? Doesnt he use like whips and knives and stuff, along with acrobatics and magic and crap?

Or maybe I'm arguing a point which disagrees?

God of War = melee focus

Hmmm i'm gonna have to check SM before i give a opinion but i personally am going with bf3 over mw3 (mw2 with a new name)

True. And I don't mind that at all.

All three! However I'm really hoping that the multiplayer option for Space Marine is awesome.

Yea, IGN reviews are better than your fellow Dakkaites.

How about you just download the demo next Tuesday? That will tell you more than any review ever could.

Let me rephrase that.

I'll wait until the game has been released in it's entirety, and the flaws or merits of the game have been picked over by the gaming community before making a decision on whether or not I will purchase the game.

You can have good demo but a subpar game. See Force Unleashed II

Melissia wrote:Yes, actually, there is. For defeating officers, sergeants, named chars, etc you're given health, although it's not the only thing that can drop (depending on the game there's a chance money or etc to drop, and there's usually a chance for a temporary buff or a musou (special attack meter, which is otherwise refilled by hitting enemies with your attacks) item can drop instead), it's frequently the primary way to earn health back.

In most of the newer ones only named officers will actually drop health, at least in the Xtreme Legends variants of the game that's the way it was. Xtreme legends was different though, I think they dropped metal sometimes to upgrade weapons or other things and you were lucky if you found some health in a crate or a pot.

@avantgarde,

Instead of relying on the potentially biased reviews of the game community, why don't you spend about 5 or so bucks to rent it for a couple of days from a local movie store. I'm sure that Red Box and Gamefly have yet to kill every single video store in the country. In my personal opinion its always worth the extra five dollars to make sure its a game you want as opposed to listening to others describe it and then paying 60 for it and finding out you really don't like it after all.

Space Marine! mw has had its time time for some 40k to shine.

Though i think they should have used a different chapter, like Blood angels or Dark Angels or IMPERIAL FIST!

Its not that i don't like Ultramarines its just that they just had a movie done about them.
