No ground breaking stuff on this end...

User Rating: 6.5 | Spore PC
Honestly...I dont see the point of playing SPORE, unless you plan on taking it to multi-player. And for all the hype, and years of work, I just dont see the fruits of their labor.

Graphics- Not bad, clean, easy on the eyes, but nothing ground breaking. In fact, nothing that any good RTS (or whatever genre this is now) looks like today.

Gameplay - Was I really that bored? Was it really that slow? It couldnt have been that easy? These were all the things I kept saying to myself. But my final thought was, "Is this really it..." because I kept waiting for the "wow" factor and it never came. In fact, I will admit I played right up until I reached the [galactic] level and then quit. Just as I would get the controls down for one level, they would flip flop them and it was a nightmare. Any RTS type game should not require you to left click to move...or left click on one level then flip to another. The controls (IMHO) were laid out terrible, and by no means intuitive.

Overall - I need to subtract an entire point just for keeping me on hold for so long and delivering so little. Sorry, but it just wasnt up my alley.
