My son asked for Spore after playing it at a friend's house. We ordered it and the adventure began. Our one year old computer needed more memory, a graphics card and a new power supply to power the graphics card. The hardware upgrades came to about $200. Now he has a great gaming machine. We really enjoy playing the game. Just check out the hardware requirements first. We went with the BFG 9800 GT and a BFG GS 550 watt power supply. Both were effortless installations.

Hi,
Based on having the Spore game simply stop working a few months after installation and then trying to fix it, this MIT graduate can give you a few hints:
1. This installation leaves behind a rootkit that cannot be easily removed. To remove it you have to go into Windows "RegEdit" function. If you make an error while using regedit, you could end up having to re-install your operating system.
2. EA's online help info in this area is pretty useless.
3. Kids do like the game, but it is simply not worth your time or the risk to your PC. There are reasonably credible reports on the web indicating damage to the operating system in some machines from the rootkit.
4. My family will no longer purchase ANY PC games from EA, or any other vendor, with this form of Digital Rights Management (DRM). We suggest you do the same and let EA and the others know about your decision.

Ok, so I have not played this game as I bought it for my nephew and this seems to be the target audience. My nephew has played this allot since I bought it for him. The concept seems fun as you walk a creature through evolutionary steps. He is always laughing and showing off his creations. If my rating was based strictly on how much fun he is having with it I would give it a 5 star.
However, since I bought it for him, I was the one that had to load it, and that was not fun. I am not a computer programmer, but I can usually load a new piece of software on a PC. This took my sister and I an hour to get it to load. We had to go to youtube to figure out how to load it. That is why I gave it a 3 star. So other than the loading issue, I got a good price on Amazon and it shipped in plenty of time for his birthday. So if you are buying this for a kid I would recommend it.

I remember hearing the hype about this game and even wanted to get it once it dropped down in price. Then Yahtzee, of Zero Punctuation fame, did a review of it. That pretty much dampered down any residual excitement. Dont get me wrong I still wanted to play it but wasnt sure that I wouldn't get buyer's remorse. The Cell stage wasnt actually too bad if you can get over the serious Computer cheating. Seriously? A creature surrounded with spikes?! How am I supposed to get that part that it is carrying? Keep in mind that you, the player, cant do this as you are limited to how many parts you can stick onto your creature. Actually I take that back a little, you can but your creature will have no eyes, mouth, or way of movement.
Then the creature stage. you staple on a few legs, doesnt matter what kind they do the same level of speed and then your creature roams onto land. Of course, in the promo vids you would think that this world would be thriving with roaming creatures for you to befriend or kill. Instead you have this strange world where all the creatures would just hang around their nests with "Epic" or "Rogue" versions of themselves in the world where if you dont immediately try to befriend them will try and kill you. And they will kill you. The Epic versions I speak of are 10-100x the size of the normal brethren. Also pathfinding in the game is a little screwy. Your creature, if you click on the minimap to make him go there, will take the shortest path there. Even if that path is through an impassable mountain. It will keep walking into it until you manually control him to get him around the mountain.
The Tribal stage is laughable you either kill everyone bye selecting your entire village, grabbing some weapons and just zerg rush the victim. Befriending everyone is a little harder but not my much your only change now is that you need to give them a gift, have your entire tribe playing at least 3 different instruments and time your button presses correctly. Presto civilization stage.
Now the Civilization stage wasnt too bad, you design your buildings and vehicles with your fliers and ships. However once you get a few resources coming in, you can A. Build a crap load of military vehicles and gank Victim no. 6746. B. Conquer a military city and start churning out trade vehicles to eventually simply BUY the other city. Or C. Simply convert the other city to your religion. However one caveat is that to get the economic and religious options you have to go with A. Twice. In other to actually get those options you have to conquer the city and hope that it is one of the two. Either that or you have to something other than carnivore. Which would have been nice if the game told you that. But this game for all of its hints and tutorials has a nasty habit of not telling you crap. "What are those little things in my minimap?" The game has no answer other than you can click on the minimap to go there.
Once you killed/bought/converted everyone you finally begin the last stage of the game, Space. Now this is where the game comes into its own finally, the controls are great and designing a space ship is intuitive and fun. The missions are also really straightforward and you can find everything just find.
Which is what I would say if the game was a great big pile of <$&(@&*&(%@!!#%> and fries. Your spaceship will either be a goofy little thing or it will no engines because it is IMPOSSIBLE to place those things on the back facing BACK not UP or DOWN I JUST WANT IT TO FACE BACKWARDS.
The Missions given to you will inevitably tell you to go to this star system A, planet B, and scan/kill/capture creature/plant/artifact C or give said C to D. D being some destination or something Again the nasty habit of this game pops up and doesnt TELL you where this system A is at. Or who D is. I was playing through the space stage and I got a mission saying that I was to pick up 3 ancient artifacts and go drop them to Janthon. Who or what Janthon was, was never explained to me. "Just pick them up and give them to Janthon" the game cried at me.
It was at this point that I rage-quit to the desktop and started up EVE online because EVE was easier to understand and play. And for all of you who know what EVE online is, that is how bad this game is.
AND ONE MORE THING: AUTOSAVE. I thought we perfected this by now, with the majority of users using windows and many of them being younger, who dont know that the pop up ad " YOU ARE INFECTED" is in fact a scam and spyware, this game inevitably will crash. This being a game where simulation is going on while you are doing stuff means your CPU time will get eaten up. So if memory leaks or Windows says FU IMMA CRASH NOW happens, at least your game will be saved sometime before you crashed right?
WRONG. This game has NO AUTOSAVE WHATSOEVER. EVEN THE SIMS HAD AUTOSAVE. You leave your house? SAVE, enter? SAVE!
This game? the only time it asks you to save is if you are quitting your current game. No autosave after stage change, event occurence or even periodically. So that means if the last the time you saved was during the Cell Stage and you went all the way to Space and Ragequit? You. Lose. Everything.
Not to mention the problems with this game and linking to EA. I just bought this game NEW from Best Buy and even though I managed to register it once with my EA account, every time I try to log in it says the install code is invalid and that I do not have correct spore.com privileges to link it. This is a game I PAID MONEY FOR. Why do I have to go through this crappy linking process to get access to the database of user created content?
At time of writing, EA has responded and said that it is linked to my account and basically said they dont know why its not working. Thank you EA tech support.
Tl;Dr. Spore was a game of high expectation that ultimately fell flat when held up to the sunlight. A box of fancily wrapped chocolate only to find that the chocolate inside is some half melted M&M minis, a marshmallow, and the sixth sense that the other brown stuff was not chocolate at all. And a man is standing next to you saying you dont even have permission to even look at 90% the box.

I bought this game a month after it came out. I read the review talking about some sort of DRM thingy. Well I learned that DRM just keeps you from installing it more than 3 times. Just install spore onto a laptop with vista or install spore on a mac notebook and then bring the laptop to your friends house. But get a mouse because it is easier to move the camera. The goal of the game is to evolve from a cell to into the space stage Let's get to the point. Here are the Pros and Cons
Pros
360 view with just holding the right and left mouse button
great graphics
complete control of your creature
large varity of parts for your creatures
desision to kill or befriend creatures
in the civilization stage you can make your own vehicles
large amount of weapons and other tools to use in space stage
easy controls
awesome superweapons in civilization stage
Cons
no game over
not a lot of different weapons in civilization
have to evolve to land
I would recommend this game for 5-12 years olds. For 12 years old it might be too easy but for 5 year olds a little challenging and frustrating. This game is a best buy. [...]! I hope you will buy this great game

Spore game PC is actually a very fun game. Although the Space stage can get kind of dull after you've gone to the center of the galaxy and earned master badge level ten, it's still fun evolving your creature from a single-cell to a galactic warlord/shaman/trader/diplomat/zealot/knight/bard/ecologist/scientist/wanderer. Even if you've beaten the Space Stage 10 times, there are still those achievements to get. If you just like creating better, then you're not alone. (50/50 on that; it's fun to play and build).
