Took a beefy rig at the time of its release. Never did play the mp, but the single-player was good enough that I eventually finished the campaign. (Not quite good enough to keep me hooked long enough to finish the campaign in one swatch -- the forge world setting is a little bleh.)

I tried the MP, it was pretty mediocre.
And there was constant Voice chat that could not be turned off, lot's of kids mumbling in German and Russian, you couldn't even tell which player was talking.

Got this for free for some reason long ago on my old PS3.  It was fun enough.   Worth it as a freebie if you're interested in 40k.   Probably about four or five solid hours of game.   Only complaint is it's a bit simple and repetitive.

Yeah it's not bad. For some reason games always manage to make 40k stories boring. The production value is just very low.
The game is great fun for a bit though.

I've got 14 hours in it. I know I started it one time and then went back to restart and finish it later, but I didn't get far the first time, possibly an hour or two.

Part of my brain thinks it recalls playing the game campaign co-op, but I don't think that's real: there are Marine NPCs along for the ride sometimes, and the prequel game Kill Zone is a co-op twinstick shooter that I've beaten solo and have never played with anyone else to amount to anything on PS3, BUT which I tried to play co-op on the PC a year or two ago. Until we discovered it only supports local co-op.

So I figure all that together is mixing in my head incorrectly. If so, then the campaign is probably 10 hours or maybe 12, which is par for big budget games of this sort.

I loved WH40K Space Marine, thought the production values were very good. Single player campaign is not very long (maybe 10 hours) but it is great while it lasts.
