Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars

Overall rating: 2.5 out of 5

from 86 members

Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars continues the story started on the DS version. The Spore Wars rage fully across the miniature landscape. Pax does not yet understand his place in the world of Mushrooms, when he accidentally absorbs a meteorite while training with the Bolete Sage. Pax is then banished until he can bring back another of the life-giving rocks that the Sage believes made the Mushrooms sentient. Along the way, Pax encounters more than he expects. It becomes obvious to him that there is more to the Mushroom world than a meteorite for his village. A war that Pax doesn't understand moves closer to his home and the Mushroom races and others head toward self-destruction. Along the way, Pax begins to understand more about what he must do to help the Bolete and the rest of the world. Throughout his adventure Pax changes from an awkward misfit to a species-saving hero.

Meh...

[Highly rated reviewer]

The Wii is an odd console really - the likes of Super Mario Galaxy blow you away, and it's the prevalence of these first party games in the charts which makes you realise that games such as the 'Spore Wars' have quite a pedigree to live up to.

This isn't a BAD game, it's just not all that good. The gameplay is a mixture of tired platforming, simple puzzles with the tried and tested double jump mechanic. Even the weapon upgrades don't really feel all that special.

The fact that in modern games we STILL have to read what characters are saying, rather than hear them, or in this case read what they're saying while a 'Banjoo-esque' cutesy-looping-gibberish track imitates the characters voice, does start to annoy after a relatively short period of time.

Stick to Super Mario for the time being - this game is not really worth your time.
