It won't be better than Civilization 4: Complete Edition.

The original game and both expansion packs rocked. The best strategy game for the next couple of years.

Spore is a simulation, you simulate a grwoth of a pet and civilization as you do in SIMS ...

I strongly dislike everything after the stage where your monster goes onto land.

The civilization-esque gameplay is not my style.

I just hope they dont take out a whole lot of features from the PC versions because its coming to the Wii. Other than that if its released in 2008 it'll probably be GOTY.

Not defending Spore, but could you be any more for a hypocrit fanboy? You put down Spore as a flop before its even released, because some one called your golden hope "just a TBS"..

I didnt even say "just a TBS" in a negative way even, I was saying that they are completely different genres and this fanboy was instantly labeling Civ4 better ... even though its not even in the same category :S ...

We shouldn't be wondering if the PC version will be awesome or even more awesome.

We should be wondering how close the Wii version will be.

If it's anything like The Sims series, not that close.

And Spore is my favorite for GOTY hands down.

Both of those games are seriously over-hyped. LBP is occasionally hyped AAAA and Spore is hyped GOTY.

7.5 each.

Maxis vs unkown Sony Devs?

A Creative platformer vs A creative Simulation which turns into an RTS and expands from microrganisms into a huge galaxy?

Yea ... I think your sporting the wrong side ;)

But if its anything like Sim City it will be good on Consoles But EAD made the SNES version of Sim City but Will Wright was Producer, so it might be like that for the Wii Version of Spore cause if it is just the Wii and DS versions they can just have EAD do it.

Wii Version will:

1) Have no mod support Gaurenteed.

2) Less than Half the Resolution of the PC Version

3) Worse Textures/Effects

4) A unit cap.

5) Planet Cap.

6) Very Poor Community.

7) Bulky Interface.

8) less accurate controls.

I'm fine with either game winning, but I think Little Big Planet has an edge being on consoles (keep on reading). PC games usually have difficulty winning GOTY over console games (I'm not sure why, but judging from other GOTY's, it's been true most of the time), and then multi-plat games have less of a chance. Spore happens to be both. I am aware of exceptions to both of those, but there haven't been many.

Its not so much PC games having problems getting GOTY, its complicated games, or games with more depth that are not so pick up and play, or dont have broad appeal.

I mean this year? CoD4 ... Bioshock .... these 2 games are as simple as they get nearly, CoD4 being a rehash again set in modern times appealing the the online FPS fad thats come around ... Bioshokc ebing an extremely easy cloned ( Story/mechanics ) of System shock 2 .

I doubt SPore or LBP will with for those very reasons, something typically cheesy like GTA4 or Killzone 2 ( long shot xD ) will win.

Its not so much PC games having trouble winning GOTY, its games on every platform having trouble beating Nintendo developed/nintendo platform games the past 4-5 years. (LOZ:WW, metriod orime, resident evil 4, galaxy) Afterall, a PC game last won it in 2004, and PC games have won 6 out of the 11 awards, So its not like PC games have never won it

I love playing CIV 4, but Spore will be somthing new and different. I've never played a game like Spore.
