AI Thread Summary
Spore is generating excitement among gamers, especially with the upcoming release after a long development period. Many users express eagerness to try the creature creator demo and are curious about the game's evolution since its initial announcement in 2005. The game is anticipated to be a multifaceted experience, combining elements of creativity and gameplay, though concerns about excessive copy protection and potential inappropriate user-generated content have been raised. The graphics and complexity of the game appear to have improved over the years, and players are looking forward to the ability to share and interact with creations from others. However, some users express skepticism about the game's depth and whether it will provide a meaningful experience or simply become repetitive. Overall, Spore is seen as a unique opportunity for creative gameplay, but opinions vary on its execution and long-term engagement potential.

Yeah the stages are kind of a bummer, but the space stage is fun. I haven't traveled to Sol yet but I'm getting close to being able to blow up planets. ^_^
Hey MacTech, welcome back!

I wish I tried it before I bought it. I would have saved my money and the time I spent trying to get to the good stuff. I play PC games regularly, so I don't think it was designed for players like me in the first place.

Ha ha, I have one friend who got it and this is like all he does (a friend of Cappslockroxx and mine actually). Then Cappslock got the creature creator and was having a hell of a time getting it to work...wait, he might have already mentioned all of this...

yeah the game was super overhyped. I played with the creature creator for about 10 minutes and then got bored. I heard people don't like the stages. It's not as if you simply walk onto land or join others on land to build a civ. It's all stage based, suddenly you'll be on land and suddenly you'll have a small town for a civ rather than smooth transition.

Well you know some people don't have a billion years to sit there and play...let alone live that long. ; )

Hate to break the news to all the fans, but Science has flunked Spore.

Even the documentary that was supposed to on Spore had scientists that were misled into thinking they were doing a documentary on something else.

Zz.

I just thought it was a cute game that a klutz could play. If I ever buy a game, it will probably be Spore. I tried a Bugs Bunny game once, but it was too hard. :-(

Evo, did you ever try the King's Quest series? They weren't bad for reflex-challenged people with really slow systems. Thinking was a lot more important than the game-play.

No, after failing at Bug's Bunny's Castle, I gave up.

Ever try any of the Myst games? They're all puzzles, no reflex or timing challenges. There are some others that are similar but I've not found any that are quite as good. SafeCracker was pretty neat, mainly just puzzles without much in the way of story line.

A great new game called "World of Goo" is out. It's a puzzle game with a great physics engine. http://2dboy.com/games.php
