Spore Released - first impressions  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 70/100. ivyblack (105) 4 years ago

I've just had my first few sessions with the Spore game released on Friday. I have been following the hype around the development etc, so knew more or less what to expect.

Some bits really impressed me. It's cute, it's sweet, the interface is nicely done, and the progress is easy to follow. There were a few things I was slightly disappointed with though - during the first evening I pretty much wizzed through to the civilization stage. Admittedly I was playing on easy, will try now on harder levels next time for comparison.

One thing I missed was some advanced interaction we have seen in earlier demos - like dragging a carcass... I tried to do that but it didn't seem to work.

That said I am enjoying the game massively, and would like to hear some other opinions on it :)

Hey friend, i think that this game is awesome. I'm on space stage and understand that the game will be longer than i expect. first stages go fast but this one will be.... I'm sorry just for 1 thing - Online playing will be not like you play solo,it will be just for sharing some stuff that you made and that's all. It would be good to play together ( like solo) with other people but... no luck. That's my opinion. if you have anything to say and you want to discuss .... you know what to do.

Well, overall I wasn't impressed. I played the game for 2 days, and that's all I really could stand.

The game seems dumbed down from the original concept ideas. It's far too short, and with exception to the space stage, really limited in the time you can play them.

The space stage has a number of problems, to the point you can't DO anything but play defender to your collies and your allies.

If you look at my thread on the game, you'll see my breakdown of it. I would re-post here but I can't cut and copy. And it's too long to retype.

Thanks for the comment :). I can see your point, although I'm not that much disappointed as you are from the sound of it. I've reached space stage recently, and although it could use some improvements when it comes to the interface, I haven't experienced that much pressure on being a defender so far. And I'm playing on hard btw.

But it definitely could have been better. I think I've posted a link to my full review in your thread, and there's a link in my profile if anyone is interested.

I think there is still a lot of potential in the game and some thing could be fixed by expansions etc. As long as they don't go over the board with them like they did with the sims series...

I played the demo and wasn't impressed by it. Now that I have the full version of it I think it is absolutely amazing. This is a game like no other and I am excited about watch my creatures grow. I am really enjoying this game so far.
