How can I review a really bright, nice game directly after a game where blood is the currency!?
Create is a very lovely looking game for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, Windows and Mac. I own the PS3 version and my god does it look vibrant. I mean, if you run the game through a HDMI output you'd think your looking at a photograph, it looks that good.
There are quite a lot of worlds to explore, which is good because one world won't take you long, 20 mins max (including chains, explanation soon). They all feature 10 challenges as far as I know and they can be 4 different things (Object, Pickup, Contraption-o-Matic or Scoretacular). They all consist of different things to do.
Every challenge and chain will give you sparks. Every spark unlocks a new unlockable and yes that will mean a huge amount of unlockables. Quickly, I will explain chains. Chains are not really challenges, but more like little things to gain sparks. There are 5 in every level. The can consist of placing a sticker and using a texture brush. These are good to get quick sparks if you are are stuck on a level.
Next, I will go over the challenge types.
First up is the object challenges. Very simply, you have to get from point a to point be. For example, launching a go-kart through a flaming hoop. Pick-up challenges are basically the same but there are bonus sparks scattered around the level that the key object (e.g. a car) can collect. Contraption-o-Matic challenges give you a space to work with and to make something (like a working car) in a certain amount of pieces. Doing it with less pieces gives more sparks, but you can also complicate it later. Lastly, Scoretacular challenges give you a task like get some petrol to a dune buggy but you have to get a high score by getting the key object to tough others, gaining a multiplier.
The create tools in this game aren't incredibly in depth but it's fun to basically make your own levels. You can paint walls what colour you want and place props where you like. Also, when not doing a challenge you can build your own machine which is good. Also, you can make them into challenges which you can upload for others to do.
There are a wide variety of things to create with, such as props, stickers, texture brushes... You can make the level look like whatever you want. You can make it look like a hot, dry desert or a chilly iceberg. Also, everything you unlock corresponds with the area your in. For example, if you are in Transportasia (the transport place, obviously) you will unlock a car. If you are in the fun fair you'll get a ride.
Create is a very fun budget title and you can find it for as cheap as a tenner in some places! Amazing. It's totally worth 20 which I picked up my copy for and I highly recommend it to, let's say 'intellectuals' but if you have a good imagination you will enjoy this game a lot.
I will give it 8/10. It is very fun for what it is and you will enjoy it if you are creative. It's not very in depth though, and it's not the most exciting game title either.
