Space Hulk-SP Review - ThatSino!

Let me start this review by saying that I positively love the game <i>Warhammer 40,000</i> (on which this is based), and I think that the Space Marine Terminators (which you control in the game) are my favorite units in the game. That’s why when playing this game I had a great experience, with one little problem that kept this one off of a perfect 5.

In every mission you start off with a Terminator team, which has an objective to fulfill. The objectives usually are simply “kill the aliens” or “destroy this thing,” but if you get over that, you will realize that <i>Space Hulk</i> is quite hard. It’s not as hard as rock, mind you, but there still is a bit of brain power needed to successfully get through it.

The graphics and sound aren’t the best around; in fact they are far from it. The controls are also a bit hard to just pick up, but luckily the game comes with a manual so you won’t always be lost.

The gameplay itself is a top-down, turn-based strategy romp through downed ships; units can only move so far (even turning takes up a movement point), and weapons are far from scarce. The worst thing in the whole game I can think of is the lack of multiplayer, I mean come on! Wouldn’t it be awesome to kill your friend in a quick game?

All in all, <i>Space Hulk</i> is a game lovers of strategy (or <i>Warhammer 40,000</i>) will adore - I know I did!
