First Impressions of "Spore"

Monday September 8, 2008
"Spore" is really here! I thought the day would never come that I would hold a copy of "Spore" in my hands. I have been playing for a couple of hours. Is everyone else busy playing their copy?

So far I have played through the cell stage (the first stage) and part of the creature stage (the second stage). I'm unimpressed so far. The cell stage is a maze of working through creatures wanting to eat you while finding food, and ended not a second too soon. Creature stage isn't much more exciting. The point of this stage is too meet the neighboring creatures and evolve your creature. The creature building is, of course, good fun (as anyone who downloaded the Creature Creator would know). The earning of DNA points in this stage not so much fun.

What's everyone else's thoughts so far? I'm looking forward to getting to the tribal stage!

After waiting years for SPORE to be released, I am left feeling very disappointed.

I haven’t even bought it yet; I have been so busy that I’ve only spent about 4 hours total with Apartment Life. I’m hoping to catch up on things in the next few weeks, and then I’ll hopefully be able to devote time on weekends and such to playing games again, so I’ll hopefully get Spore then!

I was expecting a lot more than what the game has to offer. I disagree on the cell stage though. I wish this part would last longer. I don’t know why, but I really like that simple part of the game. All of my children feel the same way.
