Spore started out as a great concept but the end product is crap. (The same goes for EA. They used to be rather good, but now they just want to milk money from people.)
The Space campaign is the only part worth playing as the rest of the game seems dumbed down. Even then, the space campaign is kinda silly since The Grox are so easy to take on but impossible to completely wipe out. Meh...still thought it was pretty fun while it lasted....sooo where is Sim City 5? Speaking of which it looks like this game CitiesXL is aiming to depose Maxis as the king of urban simulations.

IMHO I found that rather amusing.
Been here since Discovery 4.77 (lurk mode engaged)

He flies through half the system before going back to New Berlin, where he cruises from one side of the system to the other, hugging the sun as close as he can. All the while, he flies near Battleships trying to scrape me off. I finally send out the white flag, and move back to Sigma 13. However, it was a ruse, and he bit. Knowing his trade route, I interdicted the trade lane and the chase began anew. It ended, an hour after it began, with me retreating, out of Countermeasures and getting very irritated.
He kept boasting how he has never been caught; I'd like to see him beat until he begs to pay, then beaten some more.

That's happening to any game on the market, friend :rolleyes:.
I gotta say, I agree wholeheartedly. I got the game, played it for a week and now it's just repetetive and boring. The space stage is nigh-on-impossible when EVERYBODY hates you. My planet is under attack 24/7 and my ship gets shot to tiny pieces regularly. All the other stages just become pointless and boring after the first 5 times. That is, of course, if you even get to the 5th time before getting bored.
I refuse to pay for a game with such a restrictive DRM, if i pay for a game i should be able to reinstall it whenever i need to since i reformat at least once a year.
