History YMMV / Warhammer40000Spacemarine

** Ork Nobz in the first arcs. They're incredibly hard to stun or kill in melee, and shooting them down uses a lot of ammo. They also hit very hard in melee. Before you can get a [[DropTheHammer Thunder Hammer]], only [[LimitBreak Fury mode]] can kill them quickly and efficiently (a three-hit plus stun {{combo|s}} usually sets up most nobs for a quick execution, [[GuideDangIt but that's not exactly obvious:]] their ability to NoSell a normal stun attempt is usually enough to deter a player from experimenting). The Armored Nobz are all that and more, with way more durability thanks to their higher health and body armor.

* SpecialEffectFailure: In his first appearance, Leandros is wearing his helmet as he prepares to jump out of the Thunderhawk and descend to the planet's surface via jump pack. When he jumps out, eagle-eyed players may notice that his helmet suddenly disappears. Then, when you reunite with him planetside, he's still bareheaded but gets his damaged helmet, which is lying at his feet, handed to him by Titus... only to look at it for a second and continue not wearing it for the rest of the game.

** Despite very scant screentime (Totaling about 3 short scenes across the game), fans of the gave loved Warboss Grimskull. Due to being very intelligent for an Ork, being the usual rowdy evil fun of his race and for delivering probably the quietest (And scariest) BadassBoast to ever come from an Ork. Many wish he was the true BigBad instead of Nemeroth, who by contrast has a bad case of GenericDoomsdayVillain.

* AntiClimaxBoss: After fighting across a bridge flanked by fellow Ultramarines and even a squad of Blood Ravens, ascending the damaged spire with a jet pack and thunder hammer to literally throw enemies around like dolls, and *then* fighting through Nemeroth’s bodyguards while he [[OneWingedAngel ascends to princehood]] you finally fight Nemeroth himself … in several quick time events.

** To further demonstrate his brilliance, his assault on this world wasn't just a random assault, but a targeted, intentional capture: Capturing this world would give his boyz the weapons, ammo, and equipment necessary to launch a major campaign that would be much harder to stop. The threat of his forces gaining such a massive military advantage is so severe that the immediate response to the attack is to consider immediate Exterminatus rather than risk him succeeding, and is only prevented because the planet's strategic value is considered ABSOLUTE. So, not only did he target a planet that would give him a major military advantage, but also the one world taht the Imperium couldn't just wipe out immediately to deny it to him. If this was all intentional, Warboss Grimskull may well be the best strategist the Orkz have ever had.

** The Chaos Space Marines, which are ''as tough as a Nob individually'', and they show up ''a lot''.

* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: Though not without its flaws, the game was well-received and seen as a solid third-person shooter by both general gaming public and hardcore ''40k'' fans alike, the latter even praising its story and characters as worthy additions to the series' expansive lore.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
** The message from Nathaniel, one of the people on Graia, saying that no matter how hopeless things may be, he ''will'' look for his son.
** The Blood Ravens arriving to help out is pretty heartwarming when you realize that [[spoiler: they weren't given any orders to come. They just happened to be passing by and decided to ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight and come down to help out their brother-in-arms.]]
** The first time Titus and his comrades encounter the remaining Imperial Guard on the planet. A small force of troopers is struggling to hold back yet another massive wave of orks when the [[BigDamnHeroes Space Marines arrive to help.]] After the battle is done, the surviving Guardsmen reverently kneel before the Space Marines, thanking them profusely for saving their lives. [[AFatherToHisMen Captain Titus]] just smiles.
-->'''Titus''': Rise, Guardsmen. [[ThinkNothingOfIt You saved yourselves.]]
** As the main characters pass through a triage hospital a badly wounded, likely dying Guardsman says "At least I lived to see a Space Marine."

* CrazyAwesome: The orks as usual, but Warboss Grimskull ''really'' takes the cake.
-->'''Grimskull''': I ain't so easy to kill.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: To a VERY limited extent, Titus is a shining example of the GOOD Ultramarines.

* MemeticMutation: Leandros' first line: "The Codex Astartes does not support this action" has become rather popular with some fans, usually used in jest.
