I got my hands on this and it is pretty fun. Played on Normal mode for about two days to get to Civilization. I tried to keep my Creature's progression rather logical and it's turned out pretty nifty.

Put your account names down. I'll add you to my buddies so I can laugh at your creations!
Mine's just kelvyquayo.

One thing I wish is that you could make separate accounts. Some of the one's on mine were made by my flat-mate.

I'm just banking on an online fighting arena for creatures at different stages.

That would so much fun. Essentially, Age of Empires online... but with creatures I made. What more could I ask for?

So how would you all rate spore? I saw it on Direct 2 Drive and thought about downloading it. Any insight? I've only heard good from my friends, but would like some more reviews before I drop the 50 bones on it.

I'm Yoshi_Dream I think, but haven't been playing too much lately. One day my Yoshis shall conquer space in egg-shaped ships!

I still haven't gotten to civilisation stage so I'm reserving judgement on it still.

Cell stage: Awesome
Creature stage: Great
Tribal Stage: Boring
Civilization Stage: Horrible.
Space Stage: Long and Deep and overall pretty sweet.

Space stage can be reached in an evening of playing on normal difficulty and the previous stages have only a cosmetic effect on space stage.

Game could have been a LOT better, however, space stage's depth and scope make it worth the 50 bucks in my book.

i give it an 8/10, maybe a 7/10.

From what I've played and heard others talk about, the first four stages are just mini-games of varying quality then the space stage which is more in-depth, but to me seems to negate the entire premise of the game. It's supposed to emulate cellular life evolving to sentience, but doesn't pick up until interstellar space is discovered? Pretty disappointing (though I haven't gotten to space age yet myself).

It was a disappointment, tbh. The meat of the game is basically an intergalactic Civ game, just not quite as detailed as a Civ game. Make nice with some people, defend yourself from random pirates and hostile planets. Gather spices to trade, lay waste to other beings. I found a solar systam that was near my home system, but it had a species in it already and you cant do anything in the system until there are no species inhabiting it. This particular species was still in tribal stage, heh. I nuked every little freaking tribe on the planet and set up shop. :D The scope of the game is still there.

Have you seen the giant "elite' monsters in creature stage? They are huge and unkillable at that level, they can come back in tribal stage and you can band together with other tribes and actually kill one. Im sure they are in civ stage too though i never saw one. They are also in space stage and you can bomb them. Its just funny that they are still around, imo.

It's cool terraforming planets from these desolate wastelands with abundant spice geysers into actual habitable places. There are a lot of things you can do to customize them. Ive played many hours of space stage and i still have quite a few empty slots in my ability inventories. So, it seems there is still a lot to get.

My advice is to just give space age a chance. Once the disappointment of where the game headed wears off, it's not all that bad.
