You could've added a link, you know.
We know nothing what the game is if you really don't give us -any- information.

"It's like they mixed Ben 10 and Diablo"- Never heard of Ben 10.

Patch, create account, play.

Ben 10 is basically an anime about some kid that can turn into 10 different aliens.

Darkspore uses EA accounts, so if you have played a EA game before, you will not have to create account.
Download the game and patch, then enjoy playing.

From what I saw from the website, it looks like a Sporecraft. ( Mix of Spore's gameplay, and Starcrafts graphics )
I will soon give a better review of the game, as I'll get it installed.

 

[Narrat0r]

Here's my short review (so far).

+Lots of aliens to unlock and play with.
+Solid story, a darker and more scientific look at Spore.
+Nice editing options.

-Repetitive and derivative Action-RPG gameplay.
-Mediocre graphics and environments.
-It's actually more fun to play alone because you get all the gear, which would otherwise probably go to other players.
-Blood looks like ketchup.

Score: 6.0

 

[Statharas]

I am gonna start playing now

On a side not, Darkspore needs a computer made in 2008-2011, because the older computers will be laggy to play this game. ( Unless user customized )
The bottom-year computers ( 2008-2009 ) computers will most likely still endure lag.

But to the gameplay;
You play as a Spore Like creature, which has several attack abilities, either ranged or melee. Some are more support, ofcourse, and some get minions beside them.
You will have a -deck- of heroes, which you can make your own and use in game as you would like. -card- changing is quite fast, it only takes a few seconds. ( Or even below a second )

Rating for the game: 4/10

Plus note: This is not a card game, even though I mentioned -deck- and -card-

 

[Narrat0r]

You didn't quite mention the reason for that rating...
BTW You're about to reach 666 posts.

 

[Cihparg]

Bleh, yes I did give a good reason for the rating
What I like in games is unique gameplay, and Darkspore quite has one.

Now I need to delete one post, or I'll be on 666.

 

[Narrat0r]

The blood explosion model still pisses me off. Splattery splat bloop.

 

[Statharas]

How big is the patch size?

 

[MH-Wolfae]

It says that it's 5.2 Go. So...

Well, sadly can't try it out! Quite old PC (2008-2007 I believe)

 

[Statharas]

What. Since when does computer age affect performance? Stop with tha that bs... Most computers should be able to play it.

 

[MH-Wolfae]

Well, it does since new processors were made in the few last years. Aaand well... Graphic cards too. :>

 

[Statharas]

What about the 9800 gt? It can handle it. It was made in 2007.

 

[MH-Wolfae]

Yes it probably does, but it's not my comp.'s graphic card, anyways. =)

 

[Dr Super Good]

Modern hardware will not run it if it is budget. Current budget graphic cards are weaker than the 8800 GT which is ancient now.

Same goes with processors.
