PROS: Creature and Vehicles sandbox is AMAZING! Very user friendly Accessible Interesting evolution stages Excellent for children Lovely Design CONS: Limited multiplayer Shallow gameplay of each genre (Not for any really hardcore gamer) Short (unless you are in the mood for replaying it with another creature look or nutrition tendency) DRM (digital rights management) Only can install it 3 times. Damn you EA! Overall Thoughts: The 5 evolution stages are an interesting mix of Pacman, The Sims, Black & White, RPGS, RTS and Civilization. First 4 feel like an introduction mode to other games of the genre which is perfect for children or Really Newbies. The only unique one is the Galactic Stage which is interesting while it last. Speaking of lasting appeal Spore is a bit short, I finished the evolution process in 8 hours... Its is called a massively single player game, cause of its sharing user created content system. But you ultimately feel alone... I would really suggest this game but when its price drops at $19.99.Vollständige Rezension lesen
ok, ya, the 3 limit sounds bad. BUT read the advantages too! You don't have to use the disk while playing anymore, just for the first load. And its not 3 loads, its 3 computers! Once the game is registered to a computer, it is always registered to that computer, until you call them for a reset. You can format and reload it onto the computer with no decrease in uses of the disk. The advantage here is, and I have had it happen, you are playing the game one day, and damage the disk. You can play it without having to buy a new one! Also, if you have 2, 3 computers, you can play on all at the same time, which is great if you have kids! You can't do this if you need to keep the disk in. Its a trade off yes, but I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Oh ya, the game rocks too! Nothing like finding a planet full of Pikachu!Vollständige Rezension lesen
I'm a big fan of the "Sim" products, so the idea of Spore was really attractive to me. Unfortunately, I have found it to be very limiting as a game. It's worth what I paid for it at auction, but I certainly wouldn't go out and pay the listing price on a new copy. Each realm of play has a particular set of goals and particular means for reaching those goals. Your choice of whether and how to pursue the goals creates a profile for your game, and this determines your gameplay options for future actions in the same game. Nice concept, just a little clunky in how it works out. The most irritating thing? You can't save your game once you reach the galactic portion of the game. I don't know about you, but I don't want to leave my computer on with a game running in the background for a week when I get a chance to go back and figure out whether it is possible to actually "win" the game... It's an average game with average graphics, but can potentially be fun for all ages. My favorite thing is that it is a nice representation of the panspermia concept for the origin of life on Earth (that life was spawned from elsewhere, rather than from "primordial ooze" here on Earth). It also shows quite clearly how intelligence is required for evolution to help organisms develop helpful traits. Probably not a popular choice for hard-core Creationists, and probably not a popular choice for hard-core Evolutionists either. Nice blend, and fun game.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Like: The ability to create your own creatures either from scratch in the Creature Creator or evolving the creature from an eyed blob in some primordial ooze to a space captain is immensely fun and can be a very artistic experience (especially for a game). This helps you to define this creature as your own. It's not just a human body with different face and texture options, it's truly your own creation. Additionally, the creation of buildings, vehicles, and space craft is just as imaginative. There are just so many options. The replay value is pretty good. Dislike: The game is somewhat short. Each part of it, Cell, Creature, Tribal, Civilization, and Space are fairly short with exception of Space. In reality, the game is an artistic outlet where you can use your "art" (creatures) in mini-games that somewhat resemble pac-man, first person shooter, real time strategy, slightly more intricate real time strategy, and role playing adventure/real time strategy (respectively). Also, there are TONS of problems with getting the game running for Mac. They seem to be extremely common. I had to re-install it on my computer about 6 times just to get a good install. Took over 8 hours before I could actually begin to play the game. This game is DEFINITELY worth every cent if you have a good imagination, slight art skills, and enjoy a simple (yet still somewhat challenging) game. It will give hours upon hours of entertainment if you are creative enough. Little tip for those who choose to install on a Mac. After installation it will ask you to download some patches (at the moment there are 5). CLICK "NO" and it will proceed to asking for your registration CD-key, fill that out. Make sure the game will run. Then, close the game and re-open it. Say yes to the download of the patch. After the first one is installed, it will ask to download the next one. CLICK "NO" again! Make sure the game runs (again), then close it and re-open it again. REPEAT THIS PROCESS UNTIL ALL 5 HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, making sure to check if the game will run after every patch is installed separately. If you do not do this, you run a very high risk of being unable to play the game when all the patches are installed at once. EA isn't very good with Macs, but do well with PCs - so until they get better Mac services, this time consuming process will have to be taken by most Mac users.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Although i haven't gotten a chance to play Spore yet, i have watched lots of videos on Youtube doing research on how to play the game. To me it seems like this game was created for me, because i love the fact that you can make your own alien that , in time, evolves into your own personal, stereotypical alien race. There are essentially 5 different stages in the game: Cell, Creature, Tribal, Civilization, and Space stages. Each one completely different than the other (Tribal and Civilization stages are quite the same)making this game worth every penny. its also released a few little expansion packs as well, giving you an endless amount of creativity as you evolve your alien race to supremacy.
This is a great game and well worth the price. On the negative side "Do Not" I repeat "Do not" buy this game used, the registration key is a one time only key and you will not be able to access the online content (which is a ton of stuff) with a used game.I purchased this edition more for the Limited Edition of this particular item (Comes with a hard cover book about the creation of the game as well as 2 DVD's. So go to Wal-Mart and spend the $20.00 to buy a new copy and only buy this if you are a collector like me.
I bought this game for my younger brother who's 10 years old for his birthday and he loves it. This game will bring out the creativity in people. You can practically make anything inside the game. I would definitely recommend people to purchase this. Be sure to have a computer with at least a 3.0 rating. The recommendation is a 4.0 rating. If you got a good graphics card, the game will look beautiful however if you have a low end graphics card like we do, it will look OK but it will not ruin how much fun you can have playing the game. So far, there are no cons that I can think of.
My game didn’t work but he gave me a full refund and told me to keep the item. Which makes me happy even though it didn’t work I didn’t have to ship it back and go through all the trouble. Thank you

Normally I do not like games that have similar characteristics of role playing games but this game is so awesome. You get to create creatures and help them evolve, you go through life stages from primordial ooze to civilizations and space travel. I really like how the game incorporates characters that I created through Spore Creature. Even though there is some violence in the game: causing other creatures to be extinct; it is not overly graphic. You have to try this game. :) The graphics and sounds are amazing, you can create and change your creature as you evolve, the planets you create are breath taking, you have to see it to understand how awesome this game is. The creators of this game have really outdone themselves.
This game is just too amazing. It allows you to do things that I've never really seen in another video game of this nature. Everyone who has played it has really enjoyed it. This includes ages from 10-60. Noone has walked away from this game and said , "I wish it would do this or that." It truly covers all the angles as you mutate from a cell to a creature! All I can is don't wait another second for this game. It is well worth the money and you will enjoy hours of entertainment.
