Spore - My Thoughts
So, Spore has been hailed as the next coming in god games. The ability to create a creature at the cell level and watch it evolve into a space-faring race sounds pretty revolutionary too, but is it any good?
I love Spore, I think it’s a great game, but it does have it’s problems.
As you no doubt know, the game is split into 5 distinct phases; cell, creature, tribal, civilisation and space.
The main problems I have with the game are two-fold, firstly the camera controls are sometimes a tad finicky with the camera sometimes lurching around a bit. Secondly, the jump in complexity from Tribal to Civilisation stages seems a bit uneven, the cell and creature stages are really simple, with the civilisation and space stages being comparatively much more complex.
Anyway, let me give my impressions of each phase after the “jump” (I really hate that phrase):
