SPORE™ Collection

it's barely playable because the crashing rate it's really high and i have a good pc. Please fix this issue

I loved the game and hype was corresponded. BUT after a short while playing, just when you believe your creatures are going to be great , they bring you to build cities, no creatures anymore. Then the game expands to universe, and all the AI stuff and the really exciting thing about creating your creatures goes away. Really dissapointing. No evolution at all.

The last time I bought a game the day it came out, and the reason for that - Spore, the biggest $50 disappointment I ever had. This was supposed to be Will Wright's crowning achievement, Sim Everything, but the game itself was obviously stripped to the bone with the intention of selling Expansion Packs. Which didn't materialize because of the game's failure due to the extremely restrictive DRM scheme - I couldn't eve GIVE my copy away. Now, the game is not terrible. It has some charming aspects, and I'm buying it again here at the very good sale price of $7.49. It was definitely not worth $50, but $7.50 - yeah, it's worth that. The creativity involved in designing things makes up for the deficiencies in the game play (and that stupid DRM is gone! Yay!). I'd still be willing to pay $50 for the game Will Wright wanted, though.

The hype for this game was unreal, the only game in recent memory that reminds me of it is perhaps No Man's Sky. A lot of similarities between the two actually. Impressive tech running under the hood but little else. Bad and misleading marketing and the showing of a game that was nothing like what we actually got. Spore is a tedious and repetitive string of shallow mini-games from start to finish, nothing more. While it is indeed a novel idea and the creation tools were quite advanced for the time (eh, still are) there's no substance behind anything. The game comes across as more of a tech demo in places than an actual playable game. Spore had the potential to be one of gaming's greats, instead it stands as an embarrassing reminder of what happens when a publisher oversteps their bounds and actively screws with game development. No, Spore isn't great and even at a 12$ price tag it's still barely worth a play-through.

I first bought and played Spore just after the release of Spore Galactic Adventures back in mid-2009, and it was a blast! You start in the water as a cell that must eat other cells to grow and evolve until you are more like a fish and big enough to grown legs and move out of the water onto solid ground. Once on the ground you go through arguable the funnest part of the game, you could either take half an hour or days continuing to unlock new evolution body parts and roaming the world in 3D RPG style, either befriending or defeating other creatures nests to grow stronger. Once your creature is done physically evolving you move onto tribal stage, where you and several other races have adapted to making huts and fires for warmth and gathering fruits or fishing for food, once again you can either befriend or destroy the other tribes to advance accordingly. Then comes the era of modern civilization, where you become adaptive and smart enough to create tanks, ships, and planes, and design an entire city of your own! One constant in Spore is it always allows you to choose your own path and make your own decisions on how to survive and advance, from whether your and herbivore, carnivore, or omnivore, to whether you are a religious or military nation. And finally comes the stage of inter-galactic travel, you get to design your own spaceship traverse thousands of star systems to meet hundreds of other advanced alien species, trade, ally, and conquer to expand you galactic empire! There are also special enemies and cool secrets to discover. The Spore Galactic Adventures expansion pack makes the game even more fun! During space stage you get to control your captain and beam down on planets to play player-created missions, or make and share missions of your own, the possibilities are limitless! I also bought the Creepy & Cute expansion pack as soon as it came out and it makes the creature evolution even more fun! I would definitely recommend this title to anyone!
