The game is buggy, but having to be online in order to launch the game is plain stupid. Skip this.
The game is buggy, glitchy, with it's low fps rate. I was really excited about the concept, but it feels like a bad console port. Perhaps the console version is the way to go. I had some high hopes with it, but having... Read Full Review

From Dust delivers what it planned with style and inspiration, leaving players wanting more!
Ubisoft's new god-game From Dust grants you power to bend the world around you in order to help villagers get from one place to another. It's that simple. It's a combination of Populous and Black & White in which everyth... Read Full Review

I was so excited... and all my expectations were crushed.
I finished the game in four hours. I did not stay and play around as I hate the fact that my powers are limited by time. The interface is clearly made with console in mind and the mouse is sketchy at best. I expected a w... Read Full Review

short,boring and stupid. total waste! linear missions that require from you to escort some fellas
the game is quite short. you twist the earth/water/lava/plants etc. but not like in black & white game as ultimate god, here you have only impact on the environment. there are small maps with no depth at all. same c... Read Full Review

Dazzling visuals and satisfying gameplay aside, From Dust is too shallow to outlast it's brief campaign.
I had only learnt that From Dust existed around three weeks ago when looking over impending releases on Xbox Live Arcade, but I was immediately intrigued. Controlling the elements to guide a tribe through natural disaste... Read Full Review

From Dust offers a fun if sometimes frustrating opportunity to play as a god.
It has been a long, hot summer for everyone this year. Unfortunately, it's been especially long for gamers. It seems like nothing of interest has really released for several months now, leaving most of us nothing decent ... Read Full Review

Obsessed
What a welcome breath of fresh air. In From Dust, I didn't have to shoot anyone! In fact, the object of the game is to SAVE people! I won't bother talking about it's faults, as you can read that in the GameSpot review (a... Read Full Review

From Dust is out and about, but is it what we thought it would be?
By first glance it would seem as if From Dust puts you in the position of god, having an ability to shape the land as you see fit - but does it really? A small spoiler: You aren't actually god. The firs thing that hap... Read Full Review

Interesting engine/mechanics, but relies on cheap scripted events. It's no Populous...
As a life-long fan of Populous, Powermonger, Sim-Anything, and all the Civ games, I rushed to buy this. Indeed, the physics and elements engine is quite satisfying to play with for awhile. But the game ultimately devolv... Read Full Review
