 SPORE review - Not complaining about EA Games like most others January 5, 2009
DavidBlake (Bryan, OH USA)
This is a review of SPORE - Exactly what its supposed to be. I'm not going to complain about EA Games or the software they include with there programs because its not supposed to be a review of EA Games.. ANYWAY, This game is really good. The first time I played it, I got so sucked into it that 3 hours had blown past before I even knew it!! If you are looking for a game that you can play over and over, this is the game for you. Every choice you make during gameplay alters the way your creature/civilization turns out! And for all you cheaters out there (not that there's anything wrong with that... its just not my thing), this game also has the cheatability factor that many people look for. They decided to make it easy for you.. all you have to do is hit CTRL+SHIF+C and Type HELP and the whole list of cheats pops up for you! I found this out by accident when I was looking for update patches... anyway, if you were looking at the reviews of this game, and only found "reviews" of EA Games and there installations policies, you now have a review of the game itself instead of its creators! To all you EA Haters out there, you are entitled to your opinion, but please don't litter game reviews with complaint letters about there creators...
Great Game January 6, 2009
BoddhiC (California, USA)
Got this for my son, but have plyed it myself. It is really alot of fun. Lots of detail. Good progressins with new things to do at each evolutionary level. The galactic edition has alot of great extra info., books and a great video on master switch genes in evolution which my son (and I) found to be well done and very interesting. Highly recommended.
Spore Glactic Edition December 16, 2008

I got the Glactic Edition after trying creature creator
My 10 yr old son loves it and it has been drawing in the neighbor kids
some of the hunting violence was unexpected but not too bad and there is enough expansion and sharing built in to stave off the boredom that usually sets in with other games. If done correctly it can be a great game with some really cool suprise extras.
The install was clean and the registration was fairly straightforward
However as expected the anti piracy software can cause a few problems
as a network administrator I avoided these problems by doing some homework prior to install So listen up because here are some important tips
DO: VERIFY THAT YOU HAVE A DVD DRIVE. installed on your computer ! the game comes on a DVD disk. The very handy bonus instructional disk is also a DVD that can be played on a regular DVD player.
DO: XP USERS INSTALL THE FINAL SERVICE PACK SP3 prior to installing any version of Spore because if you don't the service pack install will fail. this is because the anti piracy software in Spore installs unremovable files that the service pack attempts to overwrite
Do:VERIFY THAT YOU MEET THE HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS prior to installing Spore. if you install the game and it tells you that your memory or graphics card is insufficent and then you run out and get these upgrades the anti piracy software will determine that these changes to your system mean that it has been installed on a different computer and stop working.
Do: GRANT THE TARGET USER ADMINISTRATOR ACCESS
prior to installing Spore this level of access is needed to install and run
Good game September 30, 2008

I am currently deployed in Iraq and preordered SPORE. I just got it in and tried it out last week. Then I made the mistake of letting others in my platoon play it on my laptop now I have most of them addicted to this game and I'm having trouble finding time to play in MYSELF! Most ofthem by now have dropped orders through Amazon for their own game. SInce Amazon ships to OIF locations really fast I should be able to get more game time in for myself instead of sharing my computer with and game with multiple unit members.

My only complaint is my kids have to share it! I've had to put time limits on how long they play! My 3 year old loves the cell stage, my 7 year old is completely addicted, and my 10 year old is very patient waiting for his turn. I have bought this game for friends and family and no one has been disappointed! Very fun game, creative, and lets the kids go at their own pace.
