Review

Spore is your own personal universe in a box. In this universe you can create and evolve life, establish tribes, build civilizations and even sculpt entire worlds. In Spore you have a variety of creation tools at your disposal that allow you to customise nearly every aspect of your universe: creatures, vehicles, buildings, and even spaceships. While Spore is a single player game, your creations and other players' creations are automatically shared between your galaxy and theirs, providing a limitless number of worlds to explore and play.

The Spore universe is made up of five phases with different challenges and goals. You may choose to start with the cell phase and nurture one species from its humble aquatic origins to its evolution as a sentient species. Or you may decide to start building tribes or civilizations on multiple planets. What you do with your universe is up to you.

This had the potential to be a really good game, but once again they took a fantastic idea and dumbed it down to within an inch of its life. I've found the graphics to be particularly buggy (all my creatures seem to get very shiny rendering) which I've not had with any other games (had graphics issues on 3 different PC's all well above the minimum requirements)

The Cell stage is far far too short and no where near as immersive as it could've been.

The Creature stage was very samey, I've found every time I'm struggling to design a new creature because theres only a small set of parts that actually make the game playable (ie you don't pick a level 1 part when you've got several level 3 parts available) and also found this stage again finished very quickly.

Tribal Stage was ok, again very samey, hunt food, hunt enemies, get some new things, hunt food, hunt enemies, job done. Very lacking in depth

City Stage really lacking in depth! Could've been an amazing Civilizations style Space Race, but it's too easy just to click a button and conquer the level. I think my record was completing this section in 10mins when I'd expect this to take an hour or two. I find myself deliberately trying to slow down the pace of the game.

Space. OMG, the most tedious thing ever... you slowly earn money by zooming in and out and in and out of systems and planets just to collect some resources to take somewhere else to zoom in and out to sell. Took ages to make enough money to get any decent technology but it go very tedious. Again very buggy, kept having missions where I had to destroy an infected species only to find the species wasnt being drawn so couldn't kill it. Frequency of attacks and other issues on home and allied planets is far too high and you just end up spending your entire time doing damage control so never get a chance to go and explore.

All in all a very tedious, quick game that lacked depth. Seems it was designed for the 10 to 14 yr old market and ended up being a complete snub to the 16 to 30 yr olds that had been waiting 4 years for it.

And I haven't even mentioned the restrictions on the game by online registration and DRM...

This game is based on creating an animal and making it adavance. The player content is excellent but the space stage is a bit samey but who knows, the expansion pack may of fixed this. The civ stage is a tad easy since I am no good at stratagy games and I got the reward for completing the civ stage in less that 2 hours. The tribe stage is absoluty brill but a little tricky at first. The creater stage is a work of art and cell stage is like a fun mini-game. Why only 3 stars you ask. Well the space stage drags on for ages and only being able to istall three times and you only be able to have one account is very annoying since me and a someone else decieded to buy this game between us and it took ages to find out that you can have more than one creater. Any way I'm not going to lecture on DRM because spore is still a very good game. Not the best in the world but still very good.

Remember people who share games: you can have more than one creater in the campain game!
