Building on the previous game SM2 adds a 3 player co-op campaign and PVE missions along with the usual PVP scenarios. The story picks up with a Tyrannid invasion and thanks to an updated game engine the horde of xenos flows with alien grace with little in terms of performance loss.

As far as chapter choices go the game allows for customization of your marines for the PVE/PVP modes - the story concentrates on the Ultramarines which locks you into their colour scheme. The story itself matches the scale which is displayed and they've done an amazing job of showing the size of things in the WH40K universe.

As with most AAA titles these days they have added a season pass, which in my opinion isn't a bad thing as it shows that the game will get more updates in the future and not be left to rot. They've also released a road map for future updates which shows a horde mode, I'd assume harks back to the Exterminatus mode from the original game.

Gameplay: 8/10
Audio: 9/10
Story/plot: 8/10
Longevity: 6/10
Overall: 8/10

All that remains to be said is The Emperor Protects!
