    I had been waiting this game with hype, but it has not met expectations... Interesting creator and absolutely awesome idea, but so boring to play with little options to really do

    It's an overall fun game that has its moments of greatness but sometimes feels half-baked. Creature stage is the best, space stage is excellent if directionless, and the tribe/civilization stages feel underwhelming by comparison. The public creature sharing is amazing though! It creates very fun and diverse worlds to play in.

    Just text (crutch) to save the game to the list. Such things. Maybe I'll do a review later.

    До этапа космоса - очень интересно. А дальше очень скучно и однообразно. Вроде прошёл, а вроде с какими-то придурками не договорился.

    I like this game. I went through it completely and created a gigantic empire. The whole process of evolution from a small bacterium to a galactic empire was well done and worked out by the developers. But why haven't they done the second part yet?

    Весьма неоднозначная игра, по началу удивляет потом утомляет, своеобразное размышление про эволюцию на раз пройти на второй терпения не хватит.

    The game itself had immense potential but felt poorly executed. I enjoyed the space stage the most, as all previous stages had not much depth (at least for me). A lot of extra points for the possible creativity, but it remains repetitive without being able to have (or create) a challenge.

    Игра сама по себе хороша, но мир пустой геймплей со временем надоедает,боевка на уровне бревна, а как стратегия интересная, но только стратегия все остальное очень плохо(, выше 5 не могу поставить

    While I've had a lot of fun with this game , I recognise that a lot of people won't .

    Spore is very fun as far as the creation goes - it also gives you a lot of freedom to choose whatever path you want to . However , these options are limited and can make gameplay repetitive .

    I had some fun with this, but the game just straight up crashed on me after hours of playing. I had just entered the civilzation phase. When I booted it back up, I was back in the tribal phase! And not even the last time I saved there, but before that! WTF dude??? How about an auto-save, at least when you enter a NEW PHASE IN THE GAME? Would that be too much to ask?

    Up to that point, I had some fun wth Spore, but it's really not all that special. Let's see if I can muster up the motivation to retrace my steps up to the point where it crashed. And, oh yeah, the fact that this still costs 20€ on Steam is absolutely laughable.    … Expand

    Spore is not a terrible game but also not awesome :)
    It's an decent SIM kind of game, which you make your own species.
    Quite unique game back in 2008 :)

    Quite a fun game for a while, I enjoy creating creatures as well as the vehicles.

    I enjoy playing the game up until the space stage. I get bored flying around space, it all looks the same and the quests are very boring such as scan lifeforms on planet, scanned a fern and returned to other planet then Iam asked to fly back to the other planet to take a sample, it's so tedious and    Quite a fun game for a while, I enjoy creating creatures as well as the vehicles.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. раньше мне нравилась эта игра,но за 10 лет ничего особо не добавили.хотя новости в стиме выходят по сей день.
    ужасно тупой ИИ,хреновая графика даже на высоких настройках,
    на стадии племени ты можешь послать 9 человек с оружием против 12 с муз инструментами и НИКТО не вернется назад! а убьют они лишь троих!запутанное управление племенем.кажется что у врагов есть преимущество тк даже 2 челика без оружия могут почти уничтожить отряд из 3 вооруженных человек.идти дружелюбным путем тупо легче чем воевать тк воевать очень геморно!
    очень интересно играть на стадии цивилизации.
    у игры очень интересная задумка но реализация хромает.в стим версии иногда
    вылетает и виснет(?!). но в игру стоит поиграть.    … Expand

    This game is pure evil the way it pushes evolution on kids and makes all the planets spherical!

    Just kidding.

    This game is fun and my kid loved it too when I let her play it.

    It aged ok.
    A casual model designer more than anything else. No strategy really.
    My favorite two phases are Cell and Space Exploration.
    I still recommend because this is an example of a grandiose project pulled off. Quite a fit!

    Spore is a very simple adventure game and suitable for every type of age .
    is a game of skill and creativity that deserves to be played at least once in their lifetime .

    I enjoyed this game. The space age kept me entertained for awhile. However the other stages of the game are only fun the first time and become a chore rather quickly. It is repetitive to the point where the first few minutes of a stage will be almost the same as the entire thing. I see a lot of missed potential for this game.

    Fun game to play but the no auto-save feature kills it, the game crashes randomly and your whole time is wasted. I wonder why the dev's haven't patched an autosave since there still came an addon in 2015 for this.. wrong priority set imo.

    This is a great game with a great concept. Although, it's easy for older players. I know that this game is aimed for the younger players, but I would love to see a new release with harder, and more realistic and mature game-play.

    Algunas personas no les gusta y puedo entenderlo, vuelve la historia de la evolución en unos 5 mini-juegos, mas o menos. Aunque fue echo para niños, en ese caso supongo que es entendible volverlo todo simple. Pero al final no encuentro gran cosa para decir que sea atroz. Aveces tendrá dificultad artificial al ponerte uno que otro mutante con mas vida que todo tu clan junto, una que otra horda de carnívoros asesinos que salieron a dar un paseo porque si, pero no significa que sea malo. De echo aveces lo encuentro algo relajante, tiene mecánicas simples, gráficos bonitos y aunque se vuelve frustrante porque no explica mucho... Me gusto. Puede que le este perdonando por ser algo tan simple y adorable...Y después de "The Walking Dead" ver algo tan infantil me volvió muy blando, pero aun así no veo algo malo. Es simple, tiene algo "interesante" como mínimo. No diré que vale 20 dolares, es una experiencia olvídale, pero si lo consigues por 5... Tal ves te guste para pasar el rato.

    The game is fun and different, has a number of different gameplay styles, it has a really cool part of creation, and it is you who creates the game story, but in some parts of the game he gets to be very slow and tiring.

    Spore.... Great Idea, but feels like they lost interest in development.

    It's more like a collection of smaller games, that are done much better by different games, combined into one.

    I had fun making an animal and seeing it evolve into some kind space faring dinosaur thing.

Even with patches, I and many other people still find themselves encountering the same errors and glitches throughout the game. These issues range from minor to severe, and they are the most frustrating part of the game. It also has problems running on certain operating systems. Other than that, I recommend Spore as a great PC game, especially to people who love to create their own creatures, buildings and vehicles and explore their own world. But, I wouldn't get too attached to a saved game.

    I think there should be a new and improved Spore game, with more online interaction, a broader gaming experience, less glitches, and more versatility with systems. Spore is a great idea for a game, and I believe that there's even more that can be done with it.    … Expand

    How to design a game that spans from swimming in a drop of water to ruling the galaxy? Will Wright knows how: as simple as possible. Spore deserves success on "The Sims" scale. [Sept 2008]

    Spore's triumph is painfully ironic. By setting out to instill a sense of wonderment at creation and the majesty of the universe, it's shown us that it's actually a lot more interesting to sit here at our computers and explore the contents of each other's brains. [October 2008, p.64]

    Spore manages quite some feats – it's accessible for casual gamers, but at the same time so real and dynamic, able to offer hardcore gamers a demanding experience and, obviously, a more appealing one than in "The Sims".
