Disappointing's the word that wraps it up. It's innovative and a has fun element called the Creator... and here you can create everything from your creature to buildings to vehicles. However there ends the fun. The gameplay's quite weak. It's what I call the super genre game that encompasses action, simulation, RTS, arcade and the creator(I don't know what genre to classify it under) . But it miserably fails to retain the flavor of any of the elements it is made of. Individually the parts are not worth much, but their net value is enhanced by the integration of these parts into a single entity. However even then the gameplay does not hold well - it's broad but also too shallow.

The best part of the game is the Cell stage, that accounts for the arcade and the Creature that accounts for Action/Simulation. The rest, namely Tribe stage and Civilization stage feel like second rate RTSes.

EDIT:The Space stage is a lot better than the Tribal and Civ stages. It reminds me of Mass Effect
