Mushroom Men uncapped, examined


IGN was lucky enough (or IGN enough) to get the opportunity to do a hands-on preview of Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars. During their playthrough, they got a bit more information about the "scav" system that allows your tiny, fungal hero to create weapons out of junk.

Items come in one of three categories: stems, caps, and parts, and weapons are composed of one piece of trash out of each category. Once you've successfully built a weapon, it will show a rating (in stars) that gauges its strength. You can break these weapons down and recombine them. Another detail that hasn't been discussed much: the metronome system. Environmental elements move and chime in time to the music -- in IGN's demo, floorboards bounced and pipes shook as the music played.
