Maxis takes a leap into the action RPG realm with Darkspore, an addictive sci-fi slashing romp with a ton of customisation options.
PROS
Stunning enemies with Zrin, then pulverizing them with Goliath''s energy beam and finally stealing their souls with Arakna. Building a team that compliments each other is lots of fun.
CONS
A few bugs, such as unresponsive clicking crop up now and then.
VERDICT
A solid albeit slightly basic RPG experience which is easy to pick up by any player.
