I suggest trying to figure out how to play it out before you buy it.... I'm having a REALLY hard time getting into this game. So far I feel like I wasted 60 $....

If I paid for the game I would be a little mad but seeing I got the game free with my Xbox I am not mad but all together I'm not liking the game and am also having trouble getting into it. Just finished the third chapter this morning.

Like I said, heard nothing but bad news with that game. Lol

Well we should be seeing the March Update coming very soon to our consoles. It was released today so I guess I will see if the XB1 will download it through the night.

Microsoft is giving access to Project Spark Beta for XB1 customers. Just download the game from the store and sign up on their website through the XB1. They sent a code out about 4 hours after signing up to gain access to the game.

You can sign up for PC as well but I still havent received a Beta Code via my PC email address.

you can basically make your own game

edit: seemed pretty cool when they talked about it during e3, or one of the conventions last year.

the skinny:

wiki

Project Spark is a digital canvas which can be used to make games, movies and other experiences. A player can download other user-generated content, remix that content or create content of their own. A player can use the Xbox controller, keyboard and mouse, touch-devices, Kinect and SmartGlass to build experiences. Kinect can be used to animate models and record audio. The created environments can contain mountains, rivers, and towns.[2] The player can also create events, like inter-character battles.[2] Created Items and objects are able to be shared with other players.[2]
Players choose whether to start from a blank map or a pre-designed level,[3] but always have the tools to customize the topography, add plant and animal life, and program behaviors for specific objects, such as a rock that bounces when a player is nearby.[3] The topography is modified by pushing and pulling the earth, digging through surfaces after changing the view to adjust a wall or create holes in it.[3] And anything added to the terrain reacts to the circumstance, such as grass covering the floor and the vertical surfaces becoming rocks.[3]
Game designer Claude Jerome has said that "the game is all about giving players options", like the ability to add a single flower versus a field of flowers just by resizing the flower paintbrush's size.[3] He added that the game is also about "sharing and playing with the community", and that the difference between Spark and LittleBigPlanet or Minecraft is the core ability to customize the game down to the minutiae of the in-game object actions, which lets the players tell more individual stories.[3] Players can control the game with the Xbox controller, SmartGlass, or a keyboard/mouse combination.[4] The SmartGlass interface mirrors the Xbox One display, but adapts for touch controls when in editor mode.[4]
Worlds created in the game are shareable.[3] Other players who enter can use the world as created, and a duplicate world is created if they'd like to make changes.[3]
According to a post from Mike Lescault on the social media website reddit, Project Spark will not require an Xbox Live Gold Membership to be played

Oh sweet, will have to look into it. Just heard my local bestbuy will be open at midnight for Titanfall. Guess I will try to make it there on Tuesday.
