I think the tribal stage was the best. The civ stage was too easy and the space stage was a very tedious space trading game.

Overall the best thing about this game seems to be all of the creations that can be made (creatures, ships, buildings, etc). The gameplay is below average.

As I’ve come up with loads of creatures throughout the years, I have recreated many of them and had a great time doing so. However, I find other stages than the creature and tribal only mildly entertaining, and the spaceage would be much more fun if it chose to be either a space civ sim or a god sim stage, instead of both.

It really isn’t that much of a game as it is a tool, really. If you play it for the great editors is one thing, but for the game itself… Is another.

The save system sucks, but I have found out a way to get endless saves:
Go to “?:\Documents and Settings\Your Username\Application Data\SPORE\Games”
and then move all folders within that folder into another folder, next time you start up the game, a new galaxy will have been generated for you, and you can at any time switch place with the new ones generated after you’ve do this, and your old ones.

There are instructions. In the main menu (what you get when you press the big Spore button in the lower-left corner) there’s the Spore Guide, which covers everything I ran into.

I got through the first four stages pretty quickly, but I was playing on easy. My major grief is the raider and gift spam in the tribal stage and disaster and blackmail spam in the space age.

I think only the space stage is the only one that is good, the rest can be boring, but it was sort of fun for me…

I’m still looking forward to Spore, just to try it. But if it does become another expansion pack type game, no way. I can’t afford it.

In my opinion Spore was too easy. First 4 stages went by fast, in all 3 play styles. Space age was fun in the beginning, which was like 5 hours for me. I spent the majority of game time in Space age and after I discovered most things I lost interest. You can only create/explore/colonize so much before it gets boring haha.

Frankly only the Space game interested me in the beginning. “Endless” exploration and tinkering with the galaxy at your fingers sounds like fun. Even in games like “Masters of Orion” or “Birth of the Federation” my favorate part was exploring the galaxy and founding new colonies. If “Spore” can deliver even 10% more than those class of games in terms of space exploration…I’ll be very happy.
