"Hack and Slash"
A real hack and slash fast paced game, nice gameplay and graphics. Single Player is as many have said is too short and the multiplay while entertaining doesn't quite go that extra mile that a DOW game could go. Other than that a fairly decent game all round.
"Brilliant"
Very good story line, brutal and bloody battle scenes and interesting gameplay
"Mundane"
Unfortunately this is the most disappointing THQ title I have played.
The gameplay is mundane, the voices cliche & equal to a bad hollywood movie “GET THE SPACE MARINE” “KILL THE SPACE MARINE” and the game is a direct port from console.
This is from about one hour of playing the game. I cannot see why this game gets such high reviews.
I can however see how console gamers like the game.
"Brilliant destruction"
Warhammer is a very fun game to play. Fighting off hordes of orcs using multiple weapons, both melee and ranged. The graphics and storyline are both really good. The game gets more difficult as you proceed through the story with new types of enemies appearing through out the game.
Definatly a game to play.
Graphics 8/10
Gameplay 8.5/10
Storyline 9/10

After the initial hiccup of delivery the game arrived. 11 hours later it was complete on normal.
The combat system is well thought out and fun, probably the best aspect of the game.
The storyline was OK, though the ending was rather odd. You can certainly see this was an open ending allowing for an expansion.
Multi-player is suffering the usual launch issues, lag, crashes and the like but this will be sorted out.
My biggest issue with the game as a whole was the length of time it took to complete. I searched everywhere, found everything and could've completed it in probably 8 hours if I didn't hunt around looking through every nook and cranny.
Fans of the genre will love it, personally I am happy and sad with it at the same time.
