Darkspore Review Round-up: A Competent Diablo Clone?

April 27, 2011 by Ian Miles Cheong

Darkspore Review Round-up: Darkspore is a Diablo clone that may or may not live up to the expectations of gamers. Take a look at what the critics have to say.

Darkspore's release has met little fanfare from both the press and the public. Despite promising to offer a "Diablo-like" experience, players seem fairly unenthused by it, perhaps due to the previous disappointment of Spore. GameInformer rated it an 8.5, saying that while the game does "not do anything particularly new," the experienced is polished and should leave players "happily clicking on bad guys and collecting new body parts late into the night." In contrast, GamesRadar gave the game a 6.0, calling the story "absolutely forgettable" and the level design "boring."
