Darkspore Review (GamingBolt.com)

GB: "It’s really hard to review a game like Darkspore. By all accounts, this is a great game, and certainly one of the more fun titles we’ve had in a generation when an increasing number of games are distancing themselves from the core ideal of having a good time in an attempt to be taken seriously by the mainstream. It looks great, plays even better, has some genuinely neat new ideas that it brings to the table, and its basic premise is intriguing, especially in a genre that is known to be light on storytelling. However, Darkspre has definite issues. It’s multiplayer mode is a bit of a mess, and considering that this game is a hack and slash Action RPG, that is a bit of a disaster. The storytelling is a joke, as is the main plotline of the game itself. And the game does a very poor job of keeping you engaged in the action, making each fight feel like a bit of a mindless grind."
