Spore Spore Spore - why are you so poor poor poor?

User Rating: 5 | Spore PC
By DMUK | Review Date:
Like the rest of the planet, I have been waiting a very long time for this. After falling asleep during the early stages of evoling, which is very repetitive, I finally managed to stay awake long enough to reach the Civ stages.

Instead of moving up a gear, Spore remains firmly in 2nd as it runs out of ideas. You are left basically doing the same kind of tasks you were at the start.

You can make alliances or start a war with a neighbouring faction, who all have come from your original DNA.

Once you breeze past this 'mining spice' stage and head off into space, the demands placed on your single ship to protect planets becomes annoying.

After spending time in the world of Spore, the average graphics and the 'Fisher price control systems' leaves the game wanting as in traditional EA fashion, there will be expansions to improve things further.

Don't believe the hype, it's not that good.
