Review of Spore

Posted by Streakydesign - October 14th, 2008


Where do i begin....
Well the day Spore came out I was quite excited the game looked great after waiting a few years for it. The day it came out I went to my local Wal-Mart and purchased it and in time since I snagged the last copy they had at the time. As I put the disc in my machine I was amazed at the game until 15 minutes passed by and I was bored.

Basic objective of Spore is to evolve your creature, either make friends or kill off other species, you then take your creature through tribe stage where they do the same thing but they have weapons and they can fish (mine basically fished the whole way through the stage), then your creature has a city where they can ONCE AGAIN be friends and trade with others or GLOBAL DOMINATION! After you killed off every living thing or became friends with everyone you then get a space ship and you do the same thing......

The game has similar goals in each stage and some lovely bugs (i believe this 1 is fixed) for example your in space mode but you cant save until 3 hrs pass your so bored then you can save. I played it in total for a week then haven't touched it since. Also rumors have been made that Maxis will be making expansion packs for the game of course what could they possibly add to a game that really wasn't that interesting in the first place. I honestly feel like I'm playing a dumbed down version of the sims.

On the positive I like the fact you can customize anything although once you make something you have 1 choice and 1 choice only of what your home or factory will look like. I also like how you can name a ship whatever you want and planets you want your creatures to live on. I personally have 2 planets named Bill gates and Steve Jobs where my little guys have grown and hopefully will attack one another. Can you guess who will win? (I'm pushing mac mostly because i like their G5 even though it cost 8,000 without the monitor)

If your the kind of person entertained by games like Animal Crossing because running around in a circle is fun to you then this is the game for you. The game has potential but I'd rather play Pokemon on my ds or better yet Team Fortress Two.

Before I knew about Spore...my favorite NES game was...

EVO Search for Eden's Shrine

It had a simular concept but with an Epic Story.
Recall that game?

It was interesting because it mixed Creationism and Evolution all in one game.
