A very kiddish-looking game at first, but a massive intelligent game when you start exploring it more.

User Rating: 9 | Spore PC
By taraboi1 | Review Date:
Spore has a lot of potential to be being this PC game of the year, it's competitors being Crysis Warhead and STALKER: CS. And in my opinion it really has a lot of advantages over these other 2 games: first one is play time, you can really squeeze a few good hours out of it, compared to warhead, and second you don't need a really high PC and it doesn't have that many bugs, like Stalker. But enough comparison, let's get to the review :lol: This game tries to emulate the entire life cycle of certain creatures, you begin the game right from the cell stage and then evolve to creature, tribe, civilization and finally space age, the game getting even bigger and bigger and more complex with every evolution stage you reach. In cell and creature stage you mostly work alone trying to be friends with other races, or killing them, but starting from tribal stage the game takes an RTS feel, which will appeal to most players... I certainly liked it, and I can tell you I'm no big RTS fan :D The creatures themselves are extremely customizable, there are only very small micro-details that you can't control, but on the rest of their looks and attributes you have a lot of control. The game also throws some very funny cut scenes and moments from time to time which can also be very fun to watch and will give you a few laughs, while some of them are kind of cliche but still enjoyable. I'll let you discover the rest of the game now :P
Overall I think it's game that deserves to be played by anyone who has a fairly modern PC.
