For those who played SPORE

[alexvorn2]

I played spore for some hours and I want to play more..
What is you impressions about this game?

 

[Beev]

Phase 1 is fun
Phase 2 sucks ass
Phase 3 sucks marginally less ass
Phase 4 is ok
Phase 5 is fun

Of course, by the time I got to phase 5 I was bored and done with the game.

 

[Maximilian]

The whole thing sucked, although the first phase was pretty fun i did like that, i could see a whole game being made around that first phase called sea monster... or something, but on the whole as a game spore really let me down.

I got bored after 5 minutes.

The DRM has kept my copy on the shelf.

i agree to an extent

phase 1...probaly the funnest part of the game..then downhill from there
phase 2...cool for about 10 mins until u realize theres not much to it. kill or be killed. and the body parts all do the level 1-4..the customization is based on the stats of the items.
phase 3...cool, but at the same time tedious and boring after a period of time
phase 4...again cool, but tedious and boring after long periods
-phase 5...only played for a few mins so far. but i did notice it glitched causing me to replay phase 4. because i couldnt save at the start of phase 5.

overall big letdown..game gets like a 70..

I'm still on Phase 2 because I've just been too busy to play, but I plan on playing it more this weekend. I still think it's fun overall, it just needs more depth.

If you're a Will Wright fan, you will probably enjoy it. But not everyone is a simcity / sims fan.

It's all about Phase 1 and 5, everything in between is a mixture of déjà-vue from many other games, only that your character/creature is "yours" because you created it. The creature editor is what "makes the game" even more so than Phase 5 itself. And the problem with Phase 5 is that it gets very repetitive, and it felt pointless to just conquer so many planets that basically have no backgrounds and so on, there's too much for nothing, in other words. And Spore isn't the only one like that, for sure, but that's the point, it doesn't differ much from other similarly boring games to me.

I liked it to some extent at first, but I just asked to myself if I would really want to deal with that repetitiveness. Then I realized that I got enough of games like that already on my desk taking up the dust, and that Spore wouldn't end up there. So after three days and around 15 hours of play time I decided I'd return it for a refund, pretending it doesn't work, the store doesn't have time to check and they accepted, good riddance, I don't even care about what happens to my copy next, they could melt it into a microwave or just re-pack it and sell it as if it was brand new, I couldn't care less, I got my money back.

Phase 2 was my favorite stage. Phase 5 is the "beef" of the game, but it's not my piece of cake - I hate colonial management. The immense scale of this game is mind-boggling, though, and that kept me playing for probably far longer than I would've normally cared for.

 

[Sylvanas]

I played for about an hour into the space phase and got bored and haven't touched it since.

 

[AlgaeEater]

Phase 1 and Phase 2 were really fun for me. I absolutely hated phased 3 with a passion. Phase 4 was extremely short, and Phase 5... well it is what it is.

 

[40sTheme]

Phase 1 is gold. Very fun.
Phase 2 is meh. It lasts far too long when the cell stage doesn't last long enough.
Phase 3 is also meh. Would be nice if there were more resources in an expansion.
Phase 4 is pretty fun, but way too short. Needs more objectives and more resources. And more time.
Phase 5 is awesome. Lasts as long as you want it to, has a bunch of crap to do, and there are so many things to find (signature planets, Grox, Sol, etc).
Spore is quite fun and is even more fun when you get the mod to make creatures asymmetrical.

About right, but I'd hesitate to call Phase 5 (space) "awesome". All in all a solidly mediocre game. Not worth the price of full admission, but passable when you can find it for $30. It's one of those games you get sick of quickly, but is amusing is short spurts.

 

[SunnyD]

Basically, what people are saying - if you want to play the best part of Spore, You don't have to pay.

 

[ZappDogg]

I quit pretty quickly after hitting Phase 2. It became obvious who the target demographic was, and it's definitely not me. Spore is essentially 50 miles wide and 2 inches deep.

 

[KeithTalent]

Yeah I'm stuck on phase 2 right now. It is way too long and I've grown bored with it. I need to push through so I can try the otehr phases, but they really should have lengthened the first phase and shortened the second.

[imported_apocalypse]

One word. Sporn.


Yea I got bored on stage 2, might beat the game later once I finish up GRID, WiC and Crysis.

 

[NaOH]

I grew highly bored of it during second stage and just stopped after the third stage (I liked that the most). I felt like this game could have done better, but it was a BIG disappointment. Seriously though, my creations are useless and have no real meaning in the game. I think Sims is about 100x better. Just my opinion.

 

[BurnItDwn]

I played for a few hours. Lost interest. The game sucked. I loved the Simcity series, Simcity, SC2K, and Simcity 4. Simant was a lot of fun back when it was new. SimEarth was interesting, and pretty cool. That said, I hated the Sims, found the game stupid and uninteresting. Spore seems more like the Sims, then any of the other Wright games.

 

[error8]

I played only Phase1, which was great and got until phase 2 where I totally bored myself to a halt.

 

[TidusZ]

I'm sorta surprised so many people loved phase 1, I sorta thought they all sucked pretty equally.
