I was really disappointed with the Space Marine demo. Combat was utterly mindless, involving none of the subtlety of recent brilliant combat systems like Arkham Asylum or Assassins Creed. It felt more like Dynasty Warrios, but without the visual spectacle of hundreds of enemies. Worse, the shooting was identical to Gears but without a cover systems so you end up shooting at Orks who are peeking over cover while you stand in the open getting shot – surely an inversion of how an Ork vs Space Marine conflict should go. Anyway, look at the video (or better yet play the demo) and decide for yourself.
