Man, I love WH40k universe.

This game delivers a very good feeling about it. Good graphics and lots of blood.
The campaign is interesting, although it has almost the same cliches with previous titles. No spoil for more information about it. I also liked that it lasted long enough to enjoy it and not got bored or left unsatisfied upon finishing it.

The music adds nicely to the atmosphere and generally the audio effects and the voices are great.

The gameplay is also well putted. The controls are easily learned, but during the game it may get a little bit annoying at some points (slow or no response at all on some critical situations or getting blocked by silly obstacles).
The saving is done automatically through checkpoints.

Pros & Cons that I think they are worthy to be mentioned:

+ Some nice scenes. Other at open places with distant view and others underground, delivering a claustrophobic feeling.
+ Cool battles at some places, where there are your fellow Space Marines, Imperial Forces, Orcs and/or Chaos forces mixed up and fighting at each other. Even better when you open your way by charging among them.
+ Great animations during execution acts.
+ No loading screens between areas or minimal time after switching acts in the campaign.
+ Variety of weapons.
+ The game delivers a similar feeling with other mosterpieces like Dawn of War 1 and 2.
+ Killing tons of Orcs is so much fun. And after all this gore, your armor is covered with blood.
+ Many times, it felt like playing Dawn of War but at a third person view. Specially, when you charge towards with other Space Marines.
+ Cool customization options in multiplayer mode. The various DLC's are a good addition, but as I hate the whole idea with DLC's at games, I would recommend them only with a bundle pack of the game or something, as you may get them with discount or for free by that way.

- During intense battles you may get confused with the keys and lose.
- No option to skip scenes, which may get annoying especially at points when you lose and restart from last checkpoint and you have to wait for a cutscene again.
- You can overpass some small obstacles.
- No custom saves.
