I got SPORE for X-mas, and it is awesome.

Well, if you like to use your imagination, SPORE is quite fun though.MOCHIRON_MAN

Oh wow pretty water....you kids make me laugh nowadays.jmnderson69

Spore is a huge technical achievement.

[QUOTE="MOCHIRON_MAN"]Well, if you like to use your imagination, SPORE is quite fun though.CellAnimation

Nope. Differing opinions don't bother me. I'm just saying, that SPORE can be fun, with you like to use your imagination to make things and what not.

Spore would be more fun if it didn't require 400+ hours of gameplay before managing to kill the grox off and beat the gameshakmaster13

400 + hours? Ok, now I'm definetly happy I got SPORE: I have not got a long in a very long time. Just about all the games on Wii, 360, and PS3 are short.

I agree, because it is surely something new, aside from the fact that the play style like RTS, and adventure are both in it, it does have new stuff that hasn't been done in other games by EA.

of those 400 about 380 are EXTREMELY REPITITIVE missions in space that get old after maybe 10 hours of gameplay. I only got to the center of the galaxy on a bet. The thing is the grox is just SO MUCH more powerful than you and the only way to beat them is to just destroy all their planets(ALOT of planets, and the bombs are VERY heavy on you sporebucks)

Well, when the bomb is gone, there's nothing like high stockpiles of repair packs and energy packs lol.

Yah, I thought about writing out the important black holes, and which ones lead closest to home world and which ones locate you around the grox area. I might do that with a couple. Although, I did set up a colony on the farthest planet from the center.

Stuff

So I have to download additional stuff to make the game enjoyable? Why does this sound like the mods for Oblivion? Look, when a game releases it should be aye or nay. Spore was a nay and has turned me off from it. I shouldn't have to find mods, added content, or patches to make the game "fun".

Well, I didn't say or order you to download anything. I just suggested that you could try some new things with it.

I picked up the Galactic Edition at Best Buy recently for the same price as the regular version and I'm having a lot of fun with it. I really enjoy just creating the critters and various vehicles you can build. It may not be a graphics beauty but it is original and fun.thanatose

Too true. I really like making new creatures and seeing them in the game during the stages. I could really care less about the graphics of the game, though I do look for how good they are, but with SPORE, I don't think it really needs high graphics to be enjoyable, because the graphics, to me anyway, are perfect.

The Creature Creater itself, is a big step for EA. that Creature Creater engine software, is possible the biggest thing they have ever made for a game.

Looks horrible to me, does alot of things and all of them terribley from what i've seenmarkop2003

I'm just curious: Have you played it? It is so much better than what the reviews and images may say. I never really could judge a game before I play it.

I find it amazing I have read through this entire thread, but the farther along I went, the more interesting it became how you felt the need to keep defending your opinion vs. thoses that differed about weither Spore was a good game or not. I also need to mention, I havent played the game, but did download the creature creator when it first became available and did have some fun with it. So my personal opinions about Spore remain netural in that it's a good, bad or ugly game. Having read numerous reviews and reader responses, I get the general impression that overall Spore is considered a fair to good game, but not as great as the potential that was there for it. The huge hype generated for it may have had something to do with that...I really don't know.

But the main issue I have with your thread (IMO) is your need to convince people that have a different opinion other than your's, that you are right and they are wrong about Spore being the best thing since sliced bread. Now I know you didn't say it in quite those terms, but your over zelous and immediate responses to almost every post that critizes the game leads me to believe you can't accept other peoples opinions that differ from your's......I'm sure not everyone in the world feels the same as you and it becomes annoying when someone tries to convince everyone of that. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to flame you (well maybe a bit) but I'm gald you found a game your very excited about...it's just that not everyone may agree with you on that.

Eh, he loves the game. It's understandable.

I hate seeing people screaming that they want INNOVATION!!!! and ORIGINALITY!!!, but when they get something like this they say it's lame, broken, a mess etc. It's sad that they expect five full games in one package. It's even sadder that people fail to realize that Spore is one of the most technically advanced games available.

That is possibly true, all they want is more of the same. They hate new stuff in games, they don't like it, they won't play it, and they just throw it away and get back to their Fallout 3 or God of War 2 and what not. Spore really is, a great game. Though, SPORE does have some originality in it when you get to the tribe and civil stage.

Well, because girls usually like cute stuff like Spore. I spent hours with my girlfriend designing stuff.Baranga

So I got SPORE for X-mas, and it's is the game that I would definetly recommend to the creative bunch of people, and to most other people, because of it's infinite replayability. What do you guys think of SPORE?MOCHIRON_MAN

MOCHIRON_MAN seems to enjoy defending this mediocre game to the death. It was so over hyped and it turned out toss.jmnderson69

Yes, I like to defend my opinion.
