What I mean is that Darkspore feels like it was meant to be a game in the spirit of one of those brave offshoot experiments that were so much more common in the home computer eras of Spectrum and Amiga. Moreover, its meat tastes a bit like an earlier era, when familiar systems (in this case action RPG whacking of stuff for loot) were more readily mixed with something a bit unusual (a character editor derived from that of Will Wright's grand sim-everything life-sim, Spore). This is one of those games where two ideas were forced to mate and the resulting offspring came out with one eye bigger than the other. Having carefully poured my tea, leaned back in my luxurious recliner/desk chair, and raised my gaze to the ceiling to think about the best way of phrasing this, I can state that it's, well, just a bit odd. an action RPG? A bold genetic strangeness, then - but is it a virile cross-breed or an inbred abomination? Let me take some time you tell you wot I think. A strange beast shambles this way: Darkspore! 'Tis the progeny of Maxis, sim-creators, and it is.
