someone explain Darkspore to me

[BossBTL]

i found the game for PC in a dollar store. what i know about it is that is a darker look to spore, more of a horror look to it.

i know that it was a stand alone game rather than dlc to spore, and that it was rather unpopular.

i didnt buy it from the dollar store since my pc lacks a disk drive to run it, but if you think you can explain it (in your own words, not with some f#cking wiki) & give your opinion if i should buy it, then i will

Oh, and do i need to be online to run it. or does it have singleplayer

It's kind of like an action/arcade style game where you switch between different types of creature that you earn, you can upgrade their abilities and such. You get gene pool points and if I remember right, you choose which ones to "wake up". Certain creatures are more effective against certain mob types than others.

*It's single player as far as I know.

so its not like spore's "creation simulator" then?

like i mean, the creatures in darkspore cant be edited or new ones cant be made out of pre-existing parts? why is this even a spore title then ._.

No worries.

The important line to note is "Net Loss", which shows that EA lost $454 million in 2008, lost $1 billion in 2009, and lost $677 million in 2010.

Darkspore was released in 2011. EA was desperate to get other companies to license the Spore game engine so they created Darkspore as a "tech demo." But then they tried to sell it to the general public and it received abysmal reviews.

To my knowledge, no one has licensed the Spore engine for any other games.

i didnt even know it was an official engine. i thought it was a stand alone engine that was ONLY for spore.
