This is what all the foums have said and it's 100% true: (not my words)


Its just not what i expected. They have promised alot wich actualy came out as a lie or got removed. I know there is a thread about a personal review... but personal reviews are about personal opinions =P... So here is my opinion/review:

Cell: I think it wos fun. I didnt believe others saying that its hard but it actualy wos. The bigger ones keep chasing you till the end. ( or atleast untill you grow bigger than them ). And sometimes the other meat eaters gand up and annoy you. TIP: never get between two meat eaters. ( i know its carnivore but meat eaters sound funny ).

Creature: It wos okay... as mentioned before it wos WAY too short. I finished it in less than a hour. And yeah... the lack of abilities is bad too. Only 4 attack and 4 social skills.

Tribe: Again it wos way too short. And there wosnt so many weapons and stuff to do... You just socialize or conquer.. thats it.. finished it in less than an hour. ( hehe.. im a nerd.. and yes.. its on medium )

Civ: And again... way too short... but there wos atleast cool abilities and there wos 5 of them WOOT.. lol... the big bomb thingy wos awesome.. the editors were cool too... but the weapon projectiles annoyed me... ground and sea vehicles use mortars ( and i added machine guns and cannons on them ) .. meh... if you guys want a good civ game with lotsa weapons and stuff than i recommend Empire Earth 2 or 3...

Space: HUGE!! and i meant it... HUUUUGE disappointment... looks like in the videos they used cheats and stuff so other races wont attack them and stuff. The number of attacks and the time between them is purely annoying... + the the planet system failures.. ohco.. or echo.. cant spell it in english =/ .. and theres tons of restricts too.. like.. you cant colonize a solar system where theres already a tribe or a civ or a space colony already. THATS BAAAD! I wanted to put colonizes in the same solar system where tribes are or an enemy race.. to annoy them.. and this wos mentioned before too: WHY IS AI COLONIES SO UBER?!! They send lotsa ships to invade your planets.. and they can invade one in the same time wich doubles the number of them or they can attack another place in the same time... THATS ****ing bull****. And when you enter their systems little ships fly at you... why cant your system have that too?! they can attack any of my places randomly and my planets cant defend them selves.. while theirs can.. thats just... just.. SO ANNOYING!!. Now i can go on and on with the bad things.. because theres so many.. so.. here it is... time for a rating.. wich will be included in the gaming magazine in Hungary:

Graphics: Meduim-Poor
Gameplay: Medium
Lenght: Short


Waspi here, if you downloaded the creature creator then just have fun with that, dont shell out over

i was going to buy thus until EA pulled the DRM crap of only 3 installs before you had to deal with EA support! F**K that! 3installs is nothing! its renting not buying!

the game itself could have been something awesome, it was hyped, but hype makes me more suspicious than curious considering how good reviews are purchased through Adverts in magazines!

I played this for a few hours on sunday afternoon and all i can say is, im glad this was a title i downloaded! i am not forking out

I dont know what people were expecting.
If you put too many abilities and attacks for instance you just end up unbeatable.
I've followed the game through developement from the start, and I must say I am enjoying it.
I wonder if a lot of people who are complaining are those who have heard about it from others, raised their expectations far to high without actually looking into the game first and are now dissapointed.
It can get a bit repetitive at times, but then again, it's also good fun to just pick and choose your battles.

There is nothing more I hate then a game with little variation.

Assasins Creed was the worst game I ever played in my life because the variety was non-existant after the first complete assasination.

I was sceptical of spore since day 1, so I decided for others to buy it 1st, and then I will browse people comments.

Man was I clever not to have bought it. Forums are loaded with negative comments.

1st: Its bad to hype something too much.
2nd: No variety is bad.

Glad I did not buy this and I have no intention to do so either, I'll rather buy Mercenries 2 or Stalker clear sky or Crysis warhead.

:o :o You traded COD4 for this. I will never trade that game in a million years for anything. Its multiplayer rocks!

Yeah besides been too short I heard it is just as buggy as the first 1. I'll wait on that till there is some patches.

Over and above that the carry limit is also a pain in the back-side. So I guess waiting for mods is the name of the game.

Ill put it on hold and first go for Crysis Warhead, cant go wrong there  :D

i puchased clear sky instead of spore, it is buggy :( but the guys who are making STALKER need support, a small development group with a generaly interesting idea. Clear Sky is awesome though and well worth getting!

My brother loves it, that's all that counts.


I hate it, I hate having to find him "cheats" even more.

;D

I got Spore on release day and, although it doesn't quite live up to the hype, I really quite like it.

And the graphics on mine are actually rather good, I'll post some shots later.

I guess the downside is the DRM, if I'd known about that before I wouldn't have bought it, simply for that reason.
I don't agree with piracy in any way, but I hate how they think punishing legit owners of the game is a good idea to stop pircay >:(.
