    This is poor. Muddy, fuzzy textures and unresponsive controls can be forgiven, but on rails gameplay and finding the blue switch to open the (you guessed it) blue door is an archaic game mechanic. Its like half life and Goldeneye never happened (never mind Deus Ex or MOH). I thought this game was awful and I'm a huge 40k fan.

    This is a really awful FPS. The best word I can think of to sum it up is perhaps "cheap". The puzzles extend to such mind-numbing classics as "find the blue key for the blue door", the weapons feel really weak, and the enemy AI seems to consist largely of rushing towards you firing. Even your grenades have a damage radius of about 4 foot. Any developer should have been ashamed to release This is a really awful FPS. The best word I can think of to sum it up is perhaps "cheap".

    Even with the good background of the Warhammer 40000 universe, the game cannot "capture" the player and lack of atmosphere. The graphic level is only standard and the view distance always near. Very poor sounds. Poor AI, the standard DOOM type game.

    Looks really cool. but is very unplayble. I was really hopeing for better being a 40K buff. But in the end even fans will not like this game.

    This cheap PlayStation 2 port carries none of the punch that can be found in the tabletop game due to a positively antediluvian design that sees you running down an endless succession of corridors hunting for keys.

    Provides only a been-there-done-that setting and story line. [July 2004, p.75]

    A disaster in far too many ways to count.
