Khorzho reviews ‘Spore Galactic Adventures’ on the Sporums A user known as Khorzho over at the Sporums managed to obtain Spore Galactic Adventures a few days early of its release date.* They list the pro’s and con’s of the game, but in the end the game gets an overall score of 9 out of 10 and a must-buy (if you’re a Spore addict that is).* If you aren’t, its a 7.5, but fun enough to be worth the $30.* Below are a few pro’s and cons, check out the link for more. Pro’s: The missions in the Space-Game are offered just like a standard pre-GA mission. There’s no special interface or anything you have to do to get them. Much like the Creature Creator, the Adventure Editor is very intuitive. It’s really easy to get a basic Mission put together. The Pre-made Maxis missions are pretty good. There is even a Grox mission (well… calling them Neo-Grox would be more appropriate). Cons: The mission assignments in the Space Stage are somewhat random. You don’t always get an Adventure. You sometimes get an “old” Spaceship based mission (like retrieve a plant). If you are looking to only play Adventures, you are going to either make empires mad declining these older missions, or reload saves. The load times are pretty bad in GA. Especially if you are playing a newly downloaded mission. I have a Core i7965, 12GB of RAM, a 1TB HDD, and a GTX295 video card, and new missions take over 3 minutes to load up. Adventure Planets cannot be interacted with, period, except to try the mission again. This leaves your galaxy filled up with old adventures. Link to the review here (provided by Sporedum!)
