Spore, isn't all its cracked up to be.
Oh the hardcore gamer will always be there or the gamers of old will stick around, even if we make games that don't really fit into their spheres anymore. The overall idea of Spore is a great one, but it stops short in making this multi-game very simple and very short, even on the hard difficulty the game flew by within a couple hours. Leaving me entertained for a while, but not $50 dollars worth of entertainment, I know that much.
I just wish that this game was less shallow and more in depth. I would have liked to spend more time during each level of the game and not be forced to evolve. I would have liked to be able to eat more amoeba like creatures in the tide pool if I liked and got credit for it and I would have liked to be able to take on more creatures at the creature level if I liked.
Although I believe the game was shallow and more much kid-friendly then I had hoped. In that I mean way to easy and not a lot of strategy needed. I still was entertained and I still enjoyed myself, although not as long as I had once hoped for the game. I just wish that I could rent computer games, instead of shelling out 50 dollars for each of them.
