Reviews of Spore

Sid Meyer does it again

Posted : 1 year, 3 months ago on 11 September 2008 09:59 (A review of Spore)

I'm not sure that Spore will be as addictive as Sim city or the Sims, but Spore is definitely a worthy addition to his catalogue of games. I do have to admit that at this time, I haven't managed to play a game all the way through to the end, but I have enjoyed the first few stages. I'll probably edit this review once I have.

I am a bit disappointed that the evolution inherent in the game isn't based on outside (in-game) influences, but rather on the way you decide to build the creature with the parts you find. I think I would have preferred a root-based system, where the parts you choose lead to other parts, but you can drop parts if you want to go a different evolutionary route.

Still...extremely playable right out of the box. I highly recommend it for those who enjoy Sid Meyer's other games.
