Spore Origins feel like just that: the earlier, shorter (there are only 18 levels), dumber game which gave birth to Spore itself. To play it after tackling the sophisticated, delightful and universe-spanning desktop game is just disappointing. The germ of the idea is good, then, but this bacterium needs to evolve significantly before it becomes something to be sniffed at.
