Dissapointing

Date of Review:  Jul 2, 2009
Review: Spore had a huge hype before it was released, I myself was very much looking forward to it. After preordering it and finally playing it, I began to get fairly dissapointed with it. The gameplay is very repetitive - although you can create different...

Spore? More like... uh... sucks? o.o

Date of Review:  Sep 17, 2009
Review: It feels like a pic'a'mix of random games they've tried to throw into one. No multiplayer option. Spore had a big hype, letting us know you can build anything and put anything on your wacky and new creature but in reality your creations are very...

Fun Departure From the First Person Shooters

Date of Review:  Jan 13, 2009
The Bottom Line: Buy spore out of curiosity but enjoy it for the space phase.
Review: While Castle Wolfenstein was certainly a good game and Doom built on that success, you wonder what the video game market would look like today without the first person shooter genre. You would still have your fighting, driving, role-playing,...

Fun game! With some pros and cons..

Date of Review:  Oct 31, 2008
The Bottom Line: Excellent game as a whole if you can get past the repetitive sounds. I'd recommend this to anyone either way, it is unique, creative and FUN!
Review: To thoroughly enjoy this game, one must be willing to spend some time learning the game.

We'll get to that later.

Lets start off with what this game is about. In Spore, you start off as a single celled organism, and work your way up...

Unique concept but lacking fun

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: If you are buying this game to entertain your kids under 12, they will probably really enjoy this title, but adults will get bored with it quickly.
Review: Spore has been hyped for the last few years as being an incredibly innovative and addictive game. With all the anticipation I rushed out to buy this title shortly after it came out. While graphically it is not a bad game, after a little while Spore...

The Game of the Future

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2008
The Bottom Line: I recommend this game to anyone who has an interest in the evolution theory. This game is very fun, not too expensive, and can be replayed over and over again!
Review: Spore is an extremely addictive video game which offers hours and even days of nonstop game play. You Start as cell, and 3 stages later, you launch into space. You start out as a jiggly cell, and end up as a scaly dinosaur-esque thing. Read on to...

Cool builder with a basic game attached

Date of Review:  Sep 26, 2008
The Bottom Line: Fun but to simple and easy.
Review: Before I start on the game I want to warn you off this game due to the Digital Rights Management. EA has decided that all there paying customers are evil pirates (of the software not FSM kind) and so you can only install this game three times before...

Innovative game, impressive implementation given its complexity

Date of Review:  Sep 15, 2008
The Bottom Line: I recommend that a person who likes to learn and enjoys exploration and undefined plot lines, buy this game.
Review: I bought the downloadable version of this game last week, the day it came out. I have been impressed and pleased by how well the development of the game was executed. I bought the game in part because developers who undertake something so ambitious...

Spore/Spore Creature Creator

Date of Review:  Sep 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: Not recommended for enthusiastic gamers.
Review: Spore is an age dependent game that is not well suited beyond the ages of 6. The creature creator is a creation tool that develops new creatures in a graphical and pleasing modeling feature. During the playable version, where the Creature Creator is...

A Few Links Short

Date of Review:  Sep 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: Spore lays the groundwork for amazing things, but simply doesn't gel into a game worthy of much time or attention. The user-creation tools are a kick, though.
Review: Spore may well be the most hyped computer game of this generation. Allowing you the opportunity to guide a species through its own evolution from cell to spacefarer, previews of Will Wright's new(est) masterpiece promised a "Sim-Everything" that...
