"Spore" Review

Ahhh.... "Spore." Will Wright's everything sim has finally reached our computers. I admit I was beginning to think it was never going to be released - so may excitement has diminished in the last couple of years. Turns out I'm glad that I had low expectations. It's wonderful that Will Wright has such ambitious ideas. But his sim games need to stop dumbing down games in attempt to get the so-called "casual gamers." "SimCity Societies" is another one of those games.

"Spore" has lots of room for improvement. Specifically in the area of depth. The stages blend together perfectly. Each stage doesn't have the depth needed to stand alone as a single game. I was under the impression that "Spore" was going to take all our favorite games and put them into one game. You won't find a city management game like "SimCity" in "Spore." I wouldn't be surprised if that depth so many of us are clamoring for comes in the forum of expansion packs.
