Do you have Spore?

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

I have played Spore - it's a really fun game! Making the creatures is really neat and you can access creature creator separately. Eating stuff is also kinda cute, and the whole game in general goes at a pretty decent pace. It's so easy to have a lot of variety.

I will say honestly though that I think the price being charged commercially is a little much.

Got it Sunday. I've played through to the end game in about 4-5 hours. It's entertaining, but it is not as deep as I had hoped it would be. I've gone back and started another "race" and i'm taking my time getting though the level. I'm getting ready to take this race to space. I'll let you know what I think about the end game stuff next week. I really hope it's more "dense" than the first 4 stages

I'm thinking of getting the game but I'm wondering if the book is worth it. I see that you can download it directly from EA Games, but I assume that doesn't come with the owners book. For those who have it, is the book worth driving to the store for or can I just save the gas money and download it?

I would, but of course my computer's "outdated".

I picked it up Monday. Still trying to figure it out.

I'm not to happy over all with the DRM I didn't read though...

Supposedly you only get three installs and then it won't work of which I've already used two because the game would not load when I first installed it. I think something got bugged up because I did install the trial creature creator.

You can also only have one online account which stinks especially if you have other people who want to use it like me!

I have not played it all that much yet, maybe two hours or so.



Now if I can just figure out how to get my creatures into a .stl format for 3d printing!

Yeah.. I've been following that pretty closely. If I had known about that before picking it up at the midnight release, I probably would have pirated the game instead and sent my $50 directly to Will Wright. EA really messed up on this one and I regret supporting them for it.

(it's still an incredible game though, if you get a chance to play I highly recommend it. the space stage continues to be never ending for my roommate and I, and we've gotten into the hobby of making recreations in the Spaceship creator [check out some of his stuff here])

I played Spore at a friends house, and it was actually really fun. I was considering to buy it, but it would take up too much of my homework time, so I decided not to.
