I've played the demo and I got to preview the multiplayer. I see a lot of comparisons to Gears of War but those comparisons are stupid and ugly and their mothers don't love them. Space Marine has jetpacks, no cover, has its melee as something you use against some semi-respectable numbers, lets you heal yourself by performing finishers on enemies, has more colorful visuals, etc.

Multiplayer breaks things up into three classes, which you'll have to forgive me for forgetting the names of. One has the jump pack and is melee focused with a light ranged weapon. Another is balanced between melee and ranged, and yet another is totally ranged focused. As you play you unlock different weapons and perks and stuff. It's fun. The multiplayer mode types are generic as hell, but the multiplayer itself feels unique enough that it doesn't matter.

I really can't wait to get a copy.
