  • apena89, on 09/06/2008, -2/+19your?
  • Motocompo, on 09/07/2008, -0/+17I think its a good game for what its worth. I think the IGN review of the game puts it best:

    "Spore is undoubtedly an amazing accomplishment; it's just not quite an amazing game."
  • Wilson, on 09/07/2008, -1/+155 aliens on 6 pages. Way to go.
  • SoupNoZi, on 09/07/2008, -1/+12No Xenu?
  • GuitarHeroDenn, on 09/05/2008, -1/+12Needs more Daleks
  • nlight, on 09/05/2008, -5/+16I had major hopes for the game, but it let me down. It's fun until the first 20 minutes of tribal stage then it becomes more or less an RTS with too few options and thus boring.
  • soupdawg30, on 09/07/2008, -0/+10No zerg?
  • kimbellina, on 09/05/2008, -0/+10I was hoping for a Furling.
  • EdwardMass, on 09/05/2008, -0/+9Where is Zorak? COME ON!
  • diadem2, on 09/06/2008, -0/+5Don't abandon hope in seeing what they look like yet - they may have canceled Atlantis but there's still one series left (Universe).
  • dood, on 09/06/2008, -1/+5No tribbles? What an omission!
  • CenturionMonkey, on 09/06/2008, -1/+5*****! no! no matter how intrigued I am about some article anymore, I'm not gonna sit there and dirk around on x amount of pages because it could just as ***** easily fit on one. or at least 2.
  • RossDuprey, on 09/07/2008, -0/+4They want page views for ad money. ***** PM.
  • rejectpenguin, on 09/07/2008, -0/+4wow, im completely opposite from you.. I thought the first 2 stages were horribly boring, then the tribal stage was mild and after that the game was very fun.
  • 9bpm9, on 09/07/2008, -1/+4I really though the IGN review was way too negative though for the score they gave it. It seems like the reviewer was caught up in the hype.
  • jpjandrade, on 09/07/2008, -3/+6Buried for "the best videogame in 4.5 billion years". Not. Even. Close.
  • Nintendesert, on 09/07/2008, -0/+3That makes it better!
  • Jawkish, on 09/06/2008, -1/+4deff not the best spore sci-fi creatures made, just check out the few featured spore creatures at spore.com.
  • mikeyeah, on 09/07/2008, -0/+3Do they have one that looks exactly like George W. Bush? If they do, that one would look exactly like John McCain.
  • OfNumbers, on 09/07/2008, -0/+23. It's a good day to die!
  • jedinate, on 09/07/2008, -0/+2Has anyone played this? I am hearing mixed reviews.
  • doscrash, on 09/05/2008, -0/+2Love the ones from Aliens. Predator, on the other hand, is kind of lame.
  • KingRocket, on 09/07/2008, -0/+2Furlings FTW!
  • Spoomeister, on 09/07/2008, -0/+2With Star Wars:TFU and Rock Band 2, who has time for Spore?
  • bagboyrebel, on 09/07/2008, -0/+2The Xenomorph and the Arachnids were the only ones I thought were really any good, the rest were kind of lame.
  • SiXiam, on 09/07/2008, -0/+2They look like guys in bear suits....

    lol
  • DragonForce4, on 09/08/2008, -0/+1some people like it some people don't
    I thought it was pretty boring until I got to the tribal stage, even though those were pretty easy
    space stage kicks ass though
  • deathsquadx, on 09/07/2008, -1/+2Popular Grammar.
  • twishart, on 09/06/2008, -0/+1...at MOST two.
  • Sean23, on 09/07/2008, -0/+1No Rancor?
  • inactive, on 09/07/2008, -2/+3It's actually 11 aliens on 6 pages.
  • raydeen, on 09/07/2008, -0/+1I am the Lone Locust of the apocalypse. Think of me when you look to the night sky.

    Lombakee-cree-oh-ploma-plee-ozona-ah-ah!!
  • Cockslap, on 09/07/2008, -3/+4Dugg up just for having the balls to do it.
  • rushjaycarr, on 09/07/2008, -0/+1The Protoss or Zerg would totally kick ass.
  • drewbles, on 09/08/2008, -0/+1No Species 8472. Burried. In fact, all the ones listed are pretty lame.
  • Raethar, on 09/07/2008, -0/+1i'm gonna make a grue
  • SiXiam, on 09/07/2008, -1/+2No wait I'm sorry, those digging me down think it was Half-Life...
  • rogue780, on 09/07/2008, -2/+2You sir, are my hero
  • HaloZero, on 09/07/2008, -3/+3Ok, most of them look obviously fake and crappy impersonations. The predator has a bill, wtf.

    The Arachnids Look bad ass.
  • pixelatedcrap, on 09/07/2008, -1/+1I was hoping for a Zergling.
  • Winter35, on 09/07/2008, -0/+0I like the creativity.
  • BluFire, on 09/07/2008, -2/+2now i want spore...
  • Madryan, on 09/09/2008, -0/+0Can I make Wrex? I'd make him a violent despot sort of alien race thing, and then he'd be stabbed in the back by little blonde yellow aliens. aww yeaaah
  • JRig, on 09/08/2008, -0/+0WTF is up with this multi-page BS?
  • allisonaxe, on 09/08/2008, -1/+1how about "none of them" because I won't be buying the game due to its restrictive and self-destructive evil DRM scheme... as much as I want this game, I won't pay money to have those kinds of limits. if they later opt to release a copy of the game, on a disc (as in, without needing to be patched) that removes the "3 installs only" glitch, I'll change my mind, but I'm not giving EA money for this, no matter how much I want the game, and I'd like to encourage the rest of you to do the same.

  • eviscerator, on 09/07/2008, -2/+1Now if only EA gave people the worst conditions under which to buy a game .... (talking about the only being able to download your game for 6 months thing)
