As scientists have found life on the planet bus skidded out of space. Meteorite plopped into the water oceans and the evolution of left to answer one simple question: herbivore or carnivore? Primitive rotozhuy moves in nutrient broth with flagella and lack of food bill. Half an hour later he had grown up and come ashore.
So begins the journey from bacteria to higher merits. The first stage in Spore is entitled with the word "cell", and every game starts with the same simple body, with a slight difference between carnivores and herbivores. All that now remains the essence - to wallow in a liquid, grabbing pieces of food, reproduce and evolve. However, we must search for fragments of the meteorite. Each chip found adds a new path of development, some mandibles or pseudopods, and the next stage of evolution, you can reshape the creature in its own way. Go to parrot, vydrochku or great white shark will not work: The details you build gradually, and in one step, added fins on the other - the jaw - the third tail. Spend playing some half an hour, and you have to hurry to the next stage: rotozhuy the planet Bus sprout legs and cheerfully grunting, selected on the shore.
 | |  | Stage of "Being": kollibari rotozhuyam demonstrate their dance skills. | | Editor beings: the options - infinity. The editor is available immediately everything in the game they will be limited to the natural inclinations of your being, and found fragments of a meteorite. |
First Steps That launched Phase "Creature." Again, everything is simple: you run around the land, to interact with other geezer, pick up the pieces of the meteorite and evolve. Carnivores are going to gobble up the first comer, herbivores prefer to communicate. And then another - a simple process of repetitive actions, except that the first bite, and the latter singing and dancing. Gradually being becomes leader of the pack, it makes it easier to hunt and fun to dance. With each new generation, you change the appearance of being, adding limbs, teeth, tails, scales ... Another half hour of such turmoil, and rotozhui understand: it is time to unite the tribe.
| A few words on the chart | The review does not say about the graphics, and this gap is, of course, need to be addressed. So. Formally, the graphics in Spore does not look very modern. Spore, like World of Warcraft, does not want to be heaped more than your video card. The depth of draw is small, fancy special effects in the eye do not rush, shaders once or twice and obchelsya. Well, damn them, shaders and effects are looking for in Crysis. Dignity Spore - Amazing Animation beings, iron stability and impressive performance. When you travel across the galaxy on a cosmic spaceship, the transition from the star chart the planet's atmosphere takes a few moments podgruzki. This is the only case where you can see at all in the game some sort of delay: all the other switch provides instant, on the fly. Another important advantage - the outstanding stability of the game. Whatever computer you are her or suggested, Spore on it simply works.
The first two stages can be ascribed to the genre of action / PRG, and this evolution is over. How rotozhuy was so it will stay longer in the editor creatures you look you will not. At the stage of "tribe" you fall into a kind of real-time strategy and control is not one creature, but to all settlement immediately. The leader of a detachment of buglers sent to neighbors of the Embassy, the fishermen are sitting by the lake with fishing rods, warriors sharpening their axes. The problem is the same - win or friends, instead of evolution - technology and science. Subjugating other species rotozhui learned to make flutes, spears and torches. Instead lozhnonozhek and flagella are you now choose the crown, armor, and apparel.
| | | Stage of "The Tribe": rotozhui nogotopami familiar with, and in the sky flying on business spaceship advanced civilization. | | Editor of the technology: there is nothing that emphasizes peaceful intentions rotozhuev, as an embassy in the yellow jet tub on legs. |
Foreign Policy Half an hour to conquer other tribes - and you go on the stage of "civilization." Suddenly comes the understanding that you can not grab rotozhuya from the crowd and send it to the other side of the planet. In place of the aspirations of the past comes a new daring: to conquer the neighboring city-states with war, religion or economics. At this stage you can not change the appearance of the creatures or their clothes, now you are creating a land, air and water equipment, Town Hall, factories and entertainment centers. And then, without tricks and ploys are taking all the units in his arms and carry out a massive military, ideological or economic attacks on the enemy. Do this several times - and the planet will be yours.Then, create a spaceship - and forward to the stars!
| Native Language | Spore - an international game, it supports many languages, including Russian. All creatures in the game pronounce the words on the ridiculous gibberish dialect, similar to simlish. For players - Subtitles in impeccable Russian. Spore translators worked as it should, for all time of galactic travel we have been able to find more than a dozen of good jokes, and just one error. In addition, you can call your creatures in Russian, and play well you will understand: all the boxes I support any national symbols.
At the stage of "Space" you descend from a strategic perspective and become a starship pilot, chief of his race, and instead of choosing "to bite / dance" suddenly there is a huge instrument panel with many dozens of options. Now in your hands lasers, torpedoes, bombs, gravity beam, terraforming tools and the colonies were settled, paint for the planets of painting, the tools of temperature and density of air cargo space to transport ore, plants and animals ... You leave the star system and see in front of the galaxy with thousands of stars, which live hundreds of great and small, warlike, friendly, funny and vicious creatures. Purpose no longer exists. You are then not required to strictly follow the "story line" and to fulfill its requirements. Do you want to - go to war with the planet mumbler Paris, want - speculating on the sale of ore, base of the colony, to search for new worlds, collect artifacts, develop the planet, get in contact with primitive tribes, or go on a journey to the center of the galaxy at a meeting with the mysterious groksami. Space phase in Spore takes up more time than the other four combined. In fact, the first few hours of play you were doing the generation of his race, a kind of "creating a character - from the simplest organism to the conquered planet of intelligent civilizations (by the way, having these steps once, and starting a new game, you can skip them, just create a creature and technique and go to the conquest of space). It is on this last, outer stage Spore appears before you as a game, not as huge editing program.
| | | Stage "Space": the freedom "to wander where the pleases and to walk by itself" appears only when you get the spaceship. | | Stage of "civilization": anyway, a strategy of Spore does not work. Massive Attack yellow bathrooms - the best means of resolving problems with neighbors. |
DIY Speaking of editors. Who have followed the development of Spore, remember that not so long ago, the developers released Spore Creature Creator - Editor beings.This is really part of the game, and only a small part. In addition to creatures you can create buildings, equipment, and space ships - for each type is provided with its own design elements and features. Several editors, but each of them is excellent. Never in the history of computer games we have not seen such a detailed system for creating living creatures. Add eyes, legs, wings, tails, tentacles and spikes. Whatever you may have created a miracle, it will run, jump, sing and dance - in short, to behave like a normal living organism. Even if you want to outwit and Spore to unforeseen curiosity, once warned: bad job. Spore - play smart and outwit her not everyone can. However, the authors also make you will not. If the soul of creativity does not lie, you can use templates from a collection of developers.
| | | Stage "Cage": at the dawn of evolution rotozhuy looks like a sausage with yellow eyes. | | Stage "Space": very soon studied the galaxy would look like this. But even this is only a fraction per cent of the stellar space. |
Spore - very unusual shtukentsiya. It has no clear purpose, there is no single way to achieve it, and certainly no one will be specifically to entertain you, as in any Call of Duty. Here is a huge galaxy, inhabited by an infinite number of sentient beings. Can be enemies or friends, create or destroy, trade or travel. Spore - not a strategy, not RPG, and certainly not "evolution simulator". You come in Spore is not to be recognized, but in order to have a good time. If we so want to hang a label on the game, let it be a "simulation of the galaxy." Do what you want, but you can be sure of one thing: intelligent life will always find what surprise you. |
