Most fun I've ever had with the PC, My favorite game of all time. And very, very addicting.
Cell Stage:
A fun and easy way to start the game, simple tasks, and it only takes about 30 minutes to finish. It's sort of like an arcade game, a bit of a challenge to buy parts without cheats.
Creature Stage:
Here Is where the fun really starts. you have alot more choices. Make friends, make enemies, what parts to use, who to put in your pack ect. The first time I played Spore, as I exited the cell stage, and saw a whole planet to explore, The creature editor, and all of the different creatures, It was the most fun I ever had with a video game.
Tribal Stage:
Here, you have to use strategy. A max of 12 tribe members, It's easy for your whole tribe to get wiped out if you don't make friends or wipe them out first. but the clothing,weapon, and instrument options are pretty good.
Civilization Stage:
Here is where the flaws come in. You can't progress by making friends. You have to destroy them, buy them, of religiously convert them. A little bit of an annoyance when you have to build, cars, planes, boats, homes, town halls, factories, entertainment, and songs. My least favorite stage.
Space Stage:
Now this is the main part of Spore, endless gameplay, there is no beating this game, unless you play 70 years non-stop. But my favorite stage. build your ship is the first objective. I always use the more money cheat, so it's easier, instead of doing mission, after mission. you have to get to the center of the galaxy, which isn't hard if you ally the Grox. Then you have to colonize every star! there is at least 1 million. But not as deep as some exploration space games.
Overall:
Well all together his game has endless fun. good controls, excellent graphics, And it's fun for all ages. It's got flaws, but in my opinion, one of the best games ever.
