Good game, but it could have been much more...

User Rating: 8.5 | Spore PC
By Karrotjuce | Review Date:
Spore has been anticipated for years, and now my rieview is finally out. This game is really exciting the first time you play it. Theres so much to figure out, it fells mind-boggling. Cell mode is fun, sort of like pac-man, its eat or be eaten (or run away, but that's no fun). In between cell and creature mode, there should be a fish mode, like in the original videos. Creature mode is fun, but it's also kind of simple, id like to be able to make a bird or something.Tribe mode is kind of hard, but it grows on you the 2nd time you play it. its okay. Civ mode is way to easy, but it is kind of fun. Space mode is fun, but eventually the flying away, saving your homeworld, flying back, finding millions of upgrades with no money routine gets very boring. I would recommend spore to casual gamers, but if you're a hardcore idiot who wants top spend 15 hours a day at the pc, then dont buy this game.

Gameplay: 8.5
