Space Marine 2 feels even more explosively, grimly, and hilariously authentic to the Warhammer 40,000 universe than the first game (www.pcgamer.com)

A Warhammer 40,000 space marine is not just your usual sci-fi super soldier. They are hulking behemoths, 10 feet tall (and about 10 feet wide too). They don't move like people, they move like freight trains. They have the physical bearing of an industrial freezer unit and the emotional intelligence of a crocodile. They do not retreat and they do not surrender, and their 9-to-5 is fighting the worst things you can possibly imagine over and over in a completely futile forever-war.

Was the first one any good? I've played a couple of 40k games that were meh. I like the lore, but the story and gameplay have to be up to par also.

Yeah it's basically like Gears of War with more melee.

One of the best games after Dawn of War in the 40k franchise
