    It depends greatly on what kind of games you like, if you like the slow-pace hybrid, RTS games then this game is amazing, if you like more fast pace first person shooters or such then you probably wont like this game.

    This review is retarded, the only thing thats good about Spore is the creating. Everything else is just terrible... and I mean terrible.

    this review is right on the money, if anything I think GS was a bit generous

    This game has absolutely no depth, and oh look, here come the add on packs! HURRAY! MOAR MONEY FOR EA!

    Guys, don't be upset that EA implemented "3 Installs". Be happy that they didn't make it "3 Plays".

  • techjar

    Posted Oct 15, 2008 2:37 pm PT

    This game is AWESOME!!!!! I rate it 10/10! Lots of fun!! It does have some bad performance, but that's just because of my computer (which you can read about on this blog).

  • laurencegame

    Posted Oct 6, 2008 11:54 am PT

    I think SPORE is brilliant this should have been at least a 9/10.But i don,t have the game yet i hope i will soon.

    I like spore so much i wacth this vidieo 7 times to see spore but i dont have the game yet and i know an esay ester egg in the criture creator trial.

    Care to elaborate hmm? These days people like to bash GS as soon as they come to the defense of a truly entertaining, unique game such as Spore. The score is clearly quite appropriate conpsidering the perfect or near perfect scores other reviewers are giving. Ironically I'm not one for overstating and I don't follow brainless fanboi hypes like gta4, halo2, and Crysis. Heck I didn't give this game much attention to that creature creator came out whic is when I actually got interested. Honestly lay off with the gs crap, try ign if you think this place is bad you little whiners. And DRM management is not valid point to attack Spore on, publishers got to make money too. I say a portion of a game sales are cut down because of pc game online piracy therefore expect all major publishers in the future to do the same.

  • BenBenBen93

    Posted Sep 27, 2008 2:10 pm PT

    very good for first maybe 5-6 hours but at the end of the day its as boring as eating bread with no butter an no crusts its good to begin with for example love the creature creator but it turns out that you can completely change you character at on evolution place ie it can be a herbivore 1 min and a carnivore the next time you evolve its got good ideas but made in the way that they don't work

  • acc999

    Here is my review for spore,

    On idea level this game is good. Like the person in video review says. There are many things combined in to one game in spore and it sounds good.

    I played every stage of the game, i created creatures, star ships, buildings, vehicles.

    So I'm going to tell you about all. Creating creatures is the most fun part. You can make them fat, slim or weird, what ever you like. With some practice you can make better looking creatures in time. And it's also good to see them in game.

    1- Cell stage is simple and fun, eat or be eaten. Your creature starts herbivorous. You can upgrade your creature with the points you collect and make it carnivorous or both.

    2- On Creature stage, your weird thing is on the land. Main thing on this stage is Get social with other creatures or kill them and eat. Of course you can eat fruit or both. This stage is not fun as cell stage. Once you interact with a few creatures you want to pass this level and go forward.

    3- Tribal Stage, you say to yourself omg is this evolution, look what i made, it doesn't look like anything. In my firs game i didn't like my creature what it become and stared over again. I can say that tribal stage is kinda boring. There are a few missing things on this stage. Not much but a few.

    4- Civ Stage, is about conquer the world you live. You can do that with war or make trade roads and expand with diplomacy. I'm sure you have seen better civ games. This is stage is not very bad or not very good. Just a stage in game. 5- Space. Okay now you are a union on your world. You make a spaceship and start to explore the galaxy. After a few boring things on early stages space stage looks fun at start. But after 4 5 hours of play its become boring. You find yourself zooming out and zooming in in every 4 mins. Control panel of this stage is very week. You find yourself in a galactic war suddenly. War controls are pretty weak. You see a lot of incoming calls around the galaxy but you can't simply reply them, you have to be close to that location. Imagine that you want to evolve a planet life from T1 stage to T2 but you are too much busy with trash jobs.You start to look like a person running around 15 desks randomly.


    After all my score to this game is 6.4
    Game's idea is good but implementation is weak.

    I really had higher expectaions for this game. It is fun the first time through but starts to get really boring!

    Looks awesome. I'm buying it!

  • xhizors96

    Blah, looks OK, but I'm probably never gonna play it .

    I was going to buy this, but it's DRM garbage makes me VERY hesitant to buy it now. ;[

    I want to be a loyal consumer, but I don't like being presumed a criminal.

    It's pointless to be a loyal consumer when I'll be screwed over for my loyalty.

    Unless EA introduces a patch to remove this DRAM garbage, My $50 is now going towards a competitors game. Your fault EA!
