Darkspore



Darkspore is a game that will be released in February of 2011. It is an online game that is entirely seperate from spore, but contains some spore-like features. The game will be for PC.

Plot
Unlike Spore, this game will have a story to it. As of right now, very little information regarding details about the plot have been released. The beginning of the trailer shows a large dinosaur like character which you control standing on a platform and having a needle inject have with a black oil-like substance, which subsequently fuses with his DNA. Atfer this, his body cracks all over, revealing lava-like glowing underneath.

Features
The game features the Spore-like element such as the creature creator. There are many new elements, such as weapons such as a weapon called "life leech", which absorbs life from enemies. The game features graphics that are more realistic than Spore. The graphics appear similar to that of what is seen in games like "Gears of War". The game will revolve heavily on "backtracking", meaning that the player will have to revisit level over and over again. The player will also be given the option to switch from the creature they are playing as, to an NPC creature.
