Close but not there yet
PostedSeptember 15, 2008
Well everyone waited for this game and its cool but not something i expected... If you like building and making stuff creatures to building and vehicles than dis is for u. But when it comes gameplay its oKAAAYY i guess. Just like everyone has said before its a bit of everything but on a childs level very simple very easy does get boring quick. Controls are a little wierd as well i dk just cant get use to them. Graphics are preaty boring as also lots of colors without any real detail. Like i said before if u love creating but not so much playin you will deff like this game but if u like a bit of each u may be dissapointed on the gameplay level. Sound is good but nothing to write home about I JUST DONT GET IS WERE IS THE REAL SIM CITY 5 PLEASE RELEASE IT A TRUE SEQUEL NOT SOCIETIES BS........................

Boring
PostedSeptember 14, 2008
Well, I bought into all the hype about this game, and I love many other "sim" type games like many of the various sim-city games, sim-ant (from the old Mac days) and I was really excited about Spore! But I was very disappointed, and I think most other gamers out there will be too! In my opinion, this game is designed for very young kids / gamers, with very little depth and not much in the way of game-play. As everyone knows, there is a large portion of this game dedicated to making your organism look the way you want it to. In fact, that is all there really is to this game. Each stage of the game is a mini-game, and the design process removed, there is very little to each stage. It takes relatively few hours to finish this in its entirety, and quite frankly the game play is very boring, simplistic, and there just isn't much to this game as a whole. If you're excited about spending hours designing your creature/clothing/etc., then you might like it. Anything else, and it blows.

Very Good Very Fun For Everyone!

I am what you would consider the hardcore gamer. I like my FPS games and my Action games, and the RPG's. I had doubts about this game in the beginning even ridiculed it. I actually picked up a copy to try it out and see what it was all about. I am in love with this game. The creature creation is genius with so many combination's that you'll never find an end to how many creatures you can create. This game was definitely made for casual gamers, as it's more of an experience in evolution than a game for the hardcore audience. Think of it as a learning/adventure game. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is just looking for a nice relaxing game that anyone in the family can enjoy. The gameplay is very fun and very easy to get into, you wont find it confusing at all, and how everything interacts is very funny. The neat thing about it is that all the creatures you meet throughout Spore are all user created, so the more creatures made, the more you have to populate your galaxy. This is a must have game for any Sci-Fi enthusiast and anyone who can just plain and simply enjoy having a good time.

Like most people I'd been looking forward to spore for a long time, I got it and I have to say it's probably one of the biggest let downs in video game history. All the stuff they said they'd have is there, but none of it is done well. The game starts losing steam at the tribal stage then just goes into a death dive from there. I can't even really put into words how disappointed I am with this game. You really shouldn't waste your money on it, if you want the fun spore experience buy the creature creator. Otherwise, you'll be stuck running around aimlessly in space with no real purpose. Hell you can't even really explore space, you fly along little pre arranged paths sometimes you'll see something cool but you can't do anything but look at it. As IGN said in its review, they did a lot of different stuff but they didn't actually do any of it well. Go buy Age of Empires or something, much more fulfilling and you save money.
