Spore

[General Nick]

I'm considering buying Spore, all my friends say it's great, is it the sort of game that goes on and on with no proper goal (like Sims) or is it an action game with a goal?

Goal of cell stage: Get big by eating meat or kelp.
Goal of creature stage: Get evolved by eating animals or sucking their richard and playing ring around the rosies with them.
Goal of tribal stage: Conquer the 1 mile radius around your tribe by destroying other tribes or sucking their richard and playing orchestras for them.
Goal of civilization stage: Conquer the planet by destroying them, buying them or sucking their richard and shooting musical pieces at them.
Goal of space stage: Conquer solar systems by taking over the planets/destroying them, buying them or plant colonies. Oh and you win the game, which is basically the end because by the point of 'the end' you're pretty much done the whole game.

there are also tons of other goals for the space stage, e.g. get incredibly rich, go around painting/terraporhming planets, make friends with everyone, finding the different 'easter eggs', so far i've found at least 3. in the space stage you can bassicaly do what ever you want.

Got it, awesome game, love it.

[Bloody Mary]

Bah, it was fun while it lasted.
You should get it, though, just to try out.

The game was a MASSIVE let-down, but intriguing nontheless.
They should have fleshed out the other stages. I was far more interested in the creature I made than a goddamn space shuttle or tank or stuff like that, I wanted more infantry combat, or more creature stage.

[PJ Boy]

Spore is fun. I'm not a game critic like A.R.C.  A lot of games I find quite fun in one way or another. Spore was no exception.

The fact that I could create an entire universe was what got me. I've created a ton of creatures and a few Galactic Adventures missions. I can't play it now because the user GUI got screwed up somehow. I just want to make another creature or another Clark and Stanley mission. Yes, I tried reinstalling to no avail.

Bot Parts aren't stuff.
It's just a couple of lame half assed parts.

[Irishbandit]

Yea, I hate how they show up during creature stage

also GA RUINED Civ stage

Floors, fences, walls, stuff like that for buildings.

[General Nick]

Yeah, why the forget GA buildings are considered city halls really confuses me.

Yus.

I know, it just clusterforgets you when you are picking townhalls for your city/colonies.

It could've been so much better.
