wow, well late to the ball on this (blame Dota 2 for taking up all my gaming time)
Just finished this AWESOME mc game!
10 unstable chaos warp power core devices out of 10
An absolute stunner. Relic and THQ out did themselves with Warhammer's latest outing into the third person arena. Can't remember when last I had this much fun.
As a true and long standing fan of the series, they did not disappoint. Not in the least.
Took me about 8 hours to complete on normal difficulty.
Arc, if you think the beginning missions were hard...you should see the stress when the Chaos marines and demons reach on the scene. Death immc.
I died probably at least 30 times during that play through, lol. Despite receiving weapon and armor upgrades, the enemy forces were definitely not to be trifled with. If you get caught napping for a minute, they will send you back to the emperor in a body bag.
Still loved the game and the combat system so much that I didn't mind one bit. It was a testament to the greatness of Space Marine. Also, fits in with the lore. Remember, these are the elite fighting forces of mankind. They won't be sent in to battle against insignificant foes. Heavy resistance is expected.
That aside, to see the Warhammer 40,000 universe fully realized, up close and in third person was a dream come true. This is EXACTLY what I've wanted from Blizzard with their Starcraft universe. This is precisely what Starcraft Ghost should have been.
Blizzard I hope you guys are paying attention!
eg Relic eg
(epic game)
