It doesn't dump me into the 40k universe like it should...
The game starts you off in a Tau drop ship after a few minutes of training as Kais, the Fire Warrior. You spend moment talking to an ally who speaks to you throughout the game. Soon after, your ship takes on fire from what we guess is Imperial anti-air guns. During one of the blasts, one of the few squad mates that accompany you into battle is killed off. Your ship then reaches its destination inside a huge trench (that branches out to a maze). The green light flashes and a door falls open, quickly releasing you into the battle. You think.
Now at this point, I was pretty excited. I thought it was time to get into the fury of combat, and spread the Greater Good by killing anyone who didn't agree with me alongside some battle-hardened Fire Warriors.
However, as you try to sprint out into the fray, you find that cannot move for about five seconds. While you wait to move, you see the rest of your squad run out of the ship, only to be bashed into the ground by either artillery or an air-strike. You also see another squad come out of a ship that landed near yours. The Fire Warriors from that ship experience the same fate. Then you run out and begin your long, tedious battle against the pathetic Guardsmen.
Throughout the game you will experience several setting changes, ranging from the out side of an Imperial ship to many varying types of structures that are pretty impressive and make up a lot of the game's "flavor". The weapons you will wield are what you'd normally see, you've basically got the equivalent of a WWII M1, which is the Pulse Rifle. The other Tau weapon is your Thompson SMG, the Pulse Carbine. If you happen to loot your enemies you will come across several weapons like the Lasgun which is a rapid-fire laser rifle. But the highlight of the gun selection was probably the Bolter. Or at least it should have been. I feel like the Bolter is supposed to be a RAPID-fire weapon. NOT a single shot grenade launcher like is here.
In terms of difficulty, the beginning is rightfully, very easy. However, when you begin to fight Space Marines, things get pretty tough. I havn't beaten the game and I don't plan to.
In summery, the game has some exciting moments, the graphics are pretty nice for its time, and the sound is a little ugly.
So, playing this version of the Warhammer 40,000 universe is moderately enjoyable, however disappointing in some departments.
