Spore... Create universal wonder in Spore, an exciting new simulation game that lets you develop your own personal universe. Work your way through five evolutionary phases, including Cell, Creature, Tribe, Civilization and Space, that offer unique challenges, thrills and goals. For example, you can start in Cell and nurture one species from a simple aquatic organism all the way until it becomes a sentient life form. Or you can jump right in and begin building tribes and civilizations on multiple planets. What you do with your universe is totally up to you.

Some company, maybe even the company that made Spore will take this concept, look at what spore did and what it did wrong and they will improve upon it. That is the evolution of games and I for one think that this game was a legitimate step forward in many aspects. I wont deny that this game was ovehyped and I wont deny that it has problems. Regardless its still a game that is very cool in many ways and in the long run this game will only have a positive impact on videogames in general.
Just my 2 cents.

I changed nothing from the default installation. All I did was play the game. I'm not reinstalling this behemoth of a game just to run a patch. What a shame. Spore had a great concept, nice graphics, and enough fun in the space sim to draw casual players. Too bad EA has to drop the ball on everything from Orwellian DRM to patches. Tempted to ask for my money back. One star on a game that deserves three, because EA is that bad.

(1 because the DRM really is that bad; would give it a 3 without it.)

Spore had an Everest of hype to which it obviously fell short, games with that much hype rarely deliver. But after spend a handful of hours with Spore I am very pleased and addicted.
A vocal minority are screaming that it is "dumbed down" and over-simplified. Well my question is, what are you comparing it to? For a casual sim/RTS it is awesome! The creature graphics are very slick, the bio-mechanics in the creatures is really fun to tweak as you go through the creature stage.
The background graphics are a little shoddy and buggy at times but I am OK with that given cool creatures all over the world.
I haven't had any problems with the DRM but I only have it installed on one computer and I only have one account on the computer.
For someone who is a casual sim player I highly recommend it.

This game may be fun for my 9 year niece, but it's a rip-off in it's currently buggy phase.
Save your money and buy the kids an ice cream, may occupy their attention span longer than this crap.
