    This game is great. Good graphics, great gameplay, awsome story. My only problem is that it is too short and easy. If you thought this game was too hard you must really suck. The save system didnt bother me since I flew through the game. There are cheats for you who think that there arent, you just have to beat the game on hard and get high stats for some of the cheats.

    This game looks sweet, I can't wait to play it. I have a Tau army and it rocks that Games Workshop made their game based around them. Warhammer 40k is a great a tabletop game, as will fire warrior will be a great video game.

    Yeah it rocks! superb action good story good graphics and cool weapons. good enemy AI. BIG PROBLEM: NO VEHICLES! vehicles are what MAKE the armies of W40K and they would make the game a lot better. Not to criticise, the development team have stayed faithful to the battle game and you will immediately recognize the troops, worlds, vehicles(not drivable) and armies.

    This rocks. Great graphics, great AI perhaps a little hard aiming with control, but its learnable.

    This is a top of the range FPS with an involving storyline and high quality graphics to boot. A must buy for both FPS fans and anyone interested in the 40K battle game.

    Its a very well designed game apert from there is not enough save points in each level but, the game makes up for it with easy controls, fast action game play and amazing graphics! Peace out!

    I think this game will be great... Tau come on! its the Tau... But anyway I collect Dark Angels and it would have been awsome if they were in this game or the Tyranids but anyway if you play WH40k give me a tell some time at called2serve@juno.com

    This game has an excellant graphics driver which make the movie scenes almost real. But the game lacks a certain interaction,YOU CAN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLES! Other that that this game is very good and will Rival against the upcoming title on X-Box: Halo2

    Good atmospheric sci-fi version of medal of honour, however biggest let down is the frustratingly long stretches of gameplay required before reaching a save point, this leads to many parts of the later levels being repeatedly replayed to boredom trying to complete. This aspect gives me an overdose of boredom and angry bouts of handset throwing.

    Very good, only drawback is it is missing a few key armies such as tyranids, necrons, and eldar!!!

    I very much enjoyed this game. The gameplay is nice and tactical - it's not a simple run-and-gun, you have to think and plan to survive. It's also great to play as the noble alien Tau killing the filthy human Imperials. Has varied and believable sci-fi environments. The developers did a great job. I'd like to see more Warhammer 40K FPS games.

    This game looks awesome. I've played the Games Workshop game for a couple of years and was totally psyched to see that there was a video game coming out. I played the demo too. So sweet. It takes a lot from Halo, but thats fine because Halo was awesome anyway. Go out and buy this NOW!!!

    I think this game is good it has good online play which keeps you entertained also it has a good story mode , the only bad thing is the multiplayer without 4 players or online could be boring.

    Pretty solid FPS here, especially for the PS2. While it gets kind of repetitive near the end, and the checkpoint system is balls, it has a good storyline and gives the player a good challenge without feeling unfair... most of the time. If you have a PS2, this game is worth picking up, and it's very affordable at only about $2.

    Sure it’s short and the online game is disappointing, but the core campaign is challenging and lots of fun. Those with a visual sweet tooth will love the eye candy this game has to offer, and the sounds of war have never been this dramatic.

    It's quite ironic that a game based on a license that is the progenitor of sci-fi gaming ends up feeling like a kludgy, mediocre hodge-podge of better sci-fi shooters. [Nov 2003, p.147]

    A game based on such a rich tapestry of races should at least give you a choice of whom to play as, but for the entire single player experience you'll be Kais, a Tau warrior. That's not so bad, if you are a fan or collect Tau. But what if you aren't?
