Easily Makes It Worth the Price, But Barely Makes It Worth the Hype.

User Rating: 9 | Spore PC
By ZookGuy | Review Date:
Spore is not a bad game, it's more than a Sims ripoff which it may look like especially because it has the words 'From the Creator of the Sims' on the box. It's just barely made the mark of being called 'overhyped' but just because it's nearly overhyped doesn't make it revolutionary. Spore is just like guiding a Sim from ape to the future. Any decision you make can affect whatever will happen in the future, for instance if you extinct a species in the Creature phase they may have had a really useful in the Tribe phase which they would let you have, that I believe, is extremely effective and makes you think. The controls may be a little loose, but there better than games like say, Zelda II the Adventure of Link, but it doesn't make the game more frustrating.

Though Spore looks OK for younger players, the difficulty is extremely had in the second phase if your a carnivore. You can either make friends out of animals or lunch out of animals. And since most of the time you have to retreat out of battle they will come back stronger, and more ticked off.

Spore is not a bad game at all it's a superb game but it doesn't quite reach the 'amazing' that it was when we saw screenshots and played with the Creature Creator.
